Kemsley

When Mauricio made his debut on Dancing With the Stars, Kyle was in the ballroom to support him and his partner Emma Slater as they performed a jive.

And Kyle took her support a quick-step further, detailing how to vote for Mauricio on her Instagram Story.

After the DWTS premiere, Mauricio offered a status update on their marriage.

“We were dealing with our own things, kind of, super quietly and internally, just our own issues,” he explained on the Sept. 28 episode of The Agency’s Red Mic podcast. “I mean, certainly, we’re not separated. We’re not divorced at this point. We are not any of that stuff. We’re still dealing with our marriage.”

The 53-year-old noted he’s grateful they went nearly three decades without ever encountering marriage troubles.

“It’s been an amazing 26 years and it’s been a difficult one year,” he said. “Kyle and I are blessed, where we actually had 26 years that we did not have a bad year, and I know most marriages have bad months, bad weeks, bad years.”

Mauricio then addressed rumors that he and Kyle staged their separation to garner publicity. 

“I am not going to destroy my life to put a plant in the news so people can get more entertainment,” he stated, insisting that he’s “not that smart or that conniving.”
