A sizzling Page Six report claims that Mauricio Umansky, who is currently separated from wife Kyle Richards, is romancing his DWTS partner, Emma Slater. The 13th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which premieres on Oct. 25, is expected to focus on Umansky’s rocky union with Richards. His estranged wife has also been making headlines for her unusually close relationship with country singer Morgan Wade.

Umansky and Slater were spotted on Sunday by paparazzi, enjoying what they described as a “flirty” and “romantic dinner date” at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills. (See the photos HERE.) They had a luxurious three-hour meal and afterward, cozied up together as they walked to their car. The snapshots show the dancing partners holding hands and putting their arms around each other as they headed home. It’s a shocking turn of events for Umansky and Richards who have insisted that they’ve been “going through a really hard time.” The real estate mogul told TMZ last month, “We are currently separated, we are not talking about divorce and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally with ourselves privately.”

It’s not unusual for DWTS partners to grow close during the season, sparking romance rumors, but they are often nothing more than showmance gossip.
