Rumors Surrounding Mauricio Umansky and Leslie Bega's Relationship Amid His Separation From Kyle Richards

After months of rumors, fans are now speculating if Mauricio Umansky, who is currently separated from his wife Kyle Richards, has started a new romance of his own. Mauricio was recently seen dining with his parents and another woman named Leslie Bega.

According to Leslie's Instagram bio, she works as a real estate agent at The Agency in Beverly Hills. She is also an actor and producer, with credits including the series Head of the Class, The Sopranos, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigations, as IMDb notes.

Fans began to speculate about Mauricio and Leslie's relationship when she showed up to support him on Dancing With the Stars in October 2023. Following the show, they all went out to dinner at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills along with Mauricio's parents, Dr. Estella Sneider and Eduardo Umansky. Estella even shared a group photo on Instagram, in which Leslie can be seen sitting beside Mauricio with her arm around his shoulder.

Although neither Leslie nor Mauricio have addressed the relationship rumors, a source told TMZ after the dinner that Mauricio is not dating Leslie, but his father is.

The news of Mauricio and Kyle's separation broke on July 3. According to a source, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars had been living apart for a while but were still cohabiting. The couple confirmed their separation in a joint statement on Instagram the following day, explaining that they had a tough year but were not planning to get a divorce.

In a September 2023 interview with TMZ, Mauricio confirmed that he and Kyle are still separated but expressed hope that they would work through their difficulties.

"We've had 26 amazing years, but we've had a really tough year. I think that happens. We're not ready to give up just yet. We're trying to deal with it, but it's really difficult, particularly when everyone has an opinion. I just ask the public to understand that we're human, that we have emotions, and that we love each other more than anything in the world," he explained.
