The duo are currently competing together on “Dancing With The Stars.” This week, they performed a dance that was a tribute to Mauricio’s relationship with Kyle Richards. However, the couple’s marriage has reportedly been on the rocks for months. For her part, Richards has been rumored to be dating country singer Morgan Wade.
“I was taken aback,” Kyle told host Andy Cohen. “That was very hard to see. It hurt my feelings. I don’t know if anything has happened yet,” she noted, “But obviously there’s something there and listen, I love him very much—and we are amicable—but that really did hurt me,” she added.
Although Richards admitted that she was shaken by the photos of Mauricio and Emma, she did reveal that she inevitably voted for them to stay on “Dancing With The Stars” this week. However, she also deleted an Instagram post supporting the couple.
