It was a wonderful treat to continue celebrating Mauricio. Thank You, @leslieraebega, for driving me home after dinner, which gave us time to continue enjoying the evening!”
While many fans flooded the comment section wondering if Mauricio and Leslie, who were seated next to each other, are dating, the two actually have a longstanding working relationship.

She showed up to support the Buying Beverly Hills star during week two of the ABC competition series on Oct. 3, as documented on Estella’s Instagram.
Last week, Leslie posted her own behind-the-scenes pictures from DWTS. In “Dancing With The Stars” Supporting Mauricio on Latin night,” she posted on Instagram on October 5, adding that it was also a chance to get up with a former co-star. “AND…How fantastic to see Alfonso [Ribeiro] again after all these years since we did Circus of the Stars together back when we were child stars growing up!”
As for how Mauricio and Kyle are doing three months after announcing their separation in July?

News during DWTS on October 3. “We’re trying to keep it private, but at the end of the day we’re not private people,” he said. We are well-known individuals, yet the truth is that we are currently estranged. We are going through a very trying moment right now. It has been difficult. We are not yet prepared to give up. We’re not in a rush and are still improving our marriage.
The 53-year-old continued by asking the audience to “give us a moment to figure it out.” “We’re trying to not let all the hoopla get to us and we’re gonna work on it,” he said, “and we’re gonna see what happens.”
And while the forthcoming 13th season of RHOBH will give Bravo fans a look at what caused their marital problems, Mauricio might not be watching. He admitted to E!, “I don’t know about the new season. “I might be, but I’m not denying it. Everything will either occur or not; it just is.
