Mauricio Umansky's and Emma Slater's relationship

The Agency founder first got to know Emma when they were paired up on Dancing with the Stars in 2023. 

During their time on the show, Emma and Mauricio grew close — and their connection ultimately upset Kyle. After seeing a photo of the former dance partners holding hands, Kyle said, It did not feel good."

“We are separated, we’re allowed to do what we want, each of us,” she said on the RHOBH Season 13 reunion. “[But] it’s weird because we live together in the same house. So it’s sort of like ‘What are you doing?’”

As Emma explained, she connected with Mauricio as the two were navigating their respective splits (she announced her separation from fellow dancer Sasha Farber in 2022). 

"We sort of went through difficult times at the same time together and were each other’s confidants," she continued. "It was a really nice season. Difficult for both of us, but we’re really, really grateful that we had each other."
