Umansky and Slater have been twirling and gliding together on the DWTS stage since the beginning of the season. The pair has publicly become a decent pair in the competition and their chemistry was evident. Apparently, the pair’s connection extend beyond the dance floor now.
In this moment it’s important to remember the context of their personal lives. Recently, it was announced that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star separated from his wife of 27 years, Kyle Richards. Meanwhile the DWTS pro filed for divorce from fellow pro Sasha Farber in April 2023. For those who may be wondering, there is an age gap of nearly 19 years between the rumored pair; Umansky is 53 years old, while Slater is 34 years old.
Amid the rumors, some DWTS fans are cautious about jumping to conclusions regarding the alleged romance. They point out that DWTS professionals often form close friendships with their celebrity partners each season. Fans emphasized that this particular incident may be no different.
Mauricio Umansky Is Rumored To Be Dating Someone Else
The backstory of Umansky and Richards adds an extra layer of complexity to the situation. In July 2023, People magazine reported their separation after two decades of marriage. Although they denied rumors of a divorce, they acknowledged they had faced a challenging year. On the first night of DWTS, Richards was present to support Umansky but clarified that they were still separated.
“Kyle and I are human beings, we have emotions, we have feelings. We’re going through a really hard time, okay? We are currently separated,” Umansky said. “We are not talking about divorce, and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally, privately.”
While some fans speculated that Umansky was dating real estate agent Leslie Bega, a representative for Bega clarified that the two were just friends. In the case of Slater, she remains single and hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone since her divorce from Farber.
