Mauricio Umansky is beyond grateful to have Burley Garciawaltzed through life's trying times with Kyle Richards by his side.
Amid their current separation, the real estate agent posted a passionate tribute to his wife of 27 years ahead of his latest Dancing With the Stars performance.
"Tonight's Dance on @dancingwiththestars is about life and how it's not always perfect 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," the 53-year-old shared on Instagram Oct. 24. "My time was 1996 when Kyle and I got married and Alexia was born."
The Buying Beverly Hills star went on to reveal that, after he and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star welcomed their first child together, he was out of work and struggling.
"I was 26 when I was fired from my job and was broke," he continued. "Kyle was my rock and together we rose up and we rose up 1000 x and we moved mountains a lot of them. It's been an incredible journey. Tonight's dance is dedicated to Kyle and my Family."
Mauricio's post included a gallery of throwback photos of their family—which includes kids Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15, as well as Kyle's daughter Farrah, 34, from a previous marriage—enjoying past vacations and times having fun at home together.
The heartfelt message comes after Mauricio recently sparked romance rumors with his DWTS partner Emma Slater, though neither of them have confirmed their relationship is anything but platonic.
Speaking of speculation about his love life, Mauricio did however recently deny he was moving on from Kyle after he was spotted at dinner with actress Leslie Bega.
"There's just nothing there," he exclusively told E! News after his Oct. 10 DWTS performance before clarifying that she works at his company The Agency. "This whole story is so crazy. There's nothing to talk about there."
Mauricio also shot down speculation that Leslie is actually dating his dad Eduardo Umansky, who accompanied them to dinner along with Mauricio's mom Estella Sneider.
"She had tickets, she invited him," he explained, "but that is not his girlfriend."
As for where he and Kyle stand today after announcing marriage problems back in July?
"We're trying to keep it private, but at the end of the day we're not private people," Mauricio told E! earlier this month. "We're public figures and the reality is we are separated right now. We are going through a really difficult time. It's been a struggle. We are not ready to throw in the towel. We are still working on our marriage and we're not in a rush."
