Mauricio Umansky<\/strong> might have turned his dance partner into a real-life romantic partner — ’cause he’s out here looking real cozy with Emma Slater<\/strong> … or so it seems.<\/p>\n The ‘Real Housewives’ star — who’s currently separated<\/strong> from his estranged wife, Kyle Richards<\/strong> — hit up a restaurant in Bev Hills Sunday night with Emma … who he’s sharing screen time with right now during his stint on “Dancing With the Stars” as her celeb plus-1.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Welp, it looks like they’re taking their ballroom connection into the outside world — that is, if these photos on their face are to be believed — ’cause the ‘DWTS’ pair walked away from their one-on-one dinner hand in hand, coming across awfully couple-y.<\/p>\n No other signs of PDA between ’em that we can see … but this feels telling on its own.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mauricio and Emma have actually been hanging out a lot lately — dressing up for Halloween as recently as last week. So, yeah … they’ve been chummy for a good while now.<\/p>\n Now, our sources with direct knowledge tell us the hand-holding was spurred on by a deep convo the duo had over dinner — namely discussing their upcoming dance on this week’s episode. We’re told the theme is “most important year of your life” — and Mauricio opened up to Emma about why 1996 was so pivotal for him.<\/p>\n Our sources say Mauricio actually revealed a lot to Emma last night on this topic — and we’re told that, as a result, they felt far more connected and closer than ever … which, we suppose, explains why they looked like this while exiting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As for whether this is blossoming into a romance … the sources couldn’t say one way or another.<\/p>\n Of course, there’s been tons of speculation about Mauricio and Kyle, whose marriage has come under a microscope this year amid KR’s friendship with Morgan Wade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kyle has long insisted they’re simply partners on a project right now … as Kyle is producing a documentary<\/strong> on Morgan’s life — but some have still suggested a romance might be afoot.<\/p>\n Meanwhile … Mauricio and Kyle haven’t really cut each other out of their respective lives. They’ve gone on vacation together<\/strong> with the rest of their family — and have hung out on a number of occasions for holiday get-togethers<\/strong> and the like. It’s been … interesting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, for now, it would appear Mauricio might be ready to move on. Maybe … or he’s just really close with ‘DWTS’ co-worker.<\/p>\n
