Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans are “rooting” for Kyle Richards’ relationship with Mauricio Umansky after he dedicated his performance on Dancing with the Stars to her.

Kyle Richards of RHOBH and her husband Mauricio Umansky of DWTS have struggled with their marriage for the last year.

Though the two have gone back and forth with saying they are getting a divorce, nothing has been set in stone.

However, after Umansky dedicated his recent DWTS performance to Richards, fans are hoping the two can work out their differences.

Mauricio Umansky joined Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars and was partnered with elite dancer Emma Slater. The two have survived six weeks so far and continue to improve each dance. 

Though Umansky and Slater were recently seen holding hands outside of their rehearsal time, Umansky dedicated this week’s DWTS performance to his wife, Richards.

The theme of the dance was ‘Most Memorable Year.’ Before taking the floor, Umansky took to Instagram to share a heartwarming post where he credited Richards as his “rock.”

In a caption to a slew of photos of Umansky, Richards, and their daughters, Umansky wrote, “Tonight’s dance on Dancing with the Stars is about life and how it’s not always perfect.”

Umansky continued, “And when you think it’s impossible to move mountains and you’re at your lowest moment and you think all doors are closed you need to rise up and rise unafraid and move mountains.”

He then described the most memorable year of his life by saying, “My time was 1996 when Kyle and I got married and Alexia was born — we had Farrah and Alexia. I was 26 when I was fired from my job and was broke.”

Umansky continued, “Kyle was my rock and together we rose up and we rose up 1000X and we moved mountains — a lot of them. It’s been an incredible journey. Tonight’s dance is dedicated to Kyle and my family.”

However, before Umanksy dedicated his dance to Richards and their family, Richards deleted her support post on IG for Umansky during his time on DWTS, as the photos of Umanksy holding hands with his dance partner Slater were released just days before his Tuesday performance.

Though Richards and Umanksy are allegedly separated, fans of the two have pulled together in hopes of a reconciliation, saying, “Rooting for your family! You’re a kind family man and this is very sweet to dedicate to Kyle.”

While another wrote, “Don’t give up on your beautiful wife and marriage!”

One fan even credited Richards and Umansky as their “favorite” housewives couple, saying that the post he wrote was “beautiful.”

Though Umansky dedicated his most recent DWTS dance to his wife Richards, she was not seen in the audience in support of him. However, RHOBH Season 13 will premiere tonight on BravoTV at 8 pm EST.
