• Mauricio Umansky, 53-year-old real estate broker and star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, expressed gratitude for continued family support following his Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) elimination. Despite the current separation from his wife, Kyle Richards, he noted that she was also supportive.
• Umansky described his dance partner, Emma Slater, as a 'great friend, coach, and confidant', and stated emphatically that although they were spotted holding hands after leaving a sushi restaurant, they are not dating.
