Carrie Ann Inabasees something special in Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater.
The “Dancing With the Stars” judge praised the duo’s chemistry after their performance Tuesday night.
“That was beautiful,” Inaba gushed. “When you fake contemporary, we feel it and it makes my skin crawl. That was the furthest thing from making my skin crawl.
“There is something going on that is beautiful between you two,” the 55-year-old continued. “Thank you for letting us witness.”
Umansky and Slater’s dance to “Rise Up” by Andra Day on Most Memorable Year Night, which earned 24 points, came days after they were photographed holding hands on a dinner date.
Not only were the pair spotted showing PDA on their way into Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sunday, but a server told Pvnew that they exchanged kisses inside.
Slater, 34, filed for divorce from fellow “DWTS” pro Sasha Farber in February, while Umansky, 53, has been separated from estranged wife Kyle Richards since July.
The real estate agent dedicated his dance to Richards via Instagram before taking the stage.
“When I was fired from my job and broke [in 1996] … Kyle was my rock,” he wrote. “Together we rose up and we rose up 1000 x and we moved mountains a lot of them. It’s been an incredible journey.”

The social media upload confused Bravo fans, with one writing, “Just after those pictures with your dancing partner surfaced…”
Another pointed out, “‘Was your rock’ nooooo.”
Notably, Richards deleted a September Instagram post supporting Umansky’s “DWTS” premiere following her estranged husband’s outing over the weekend.
The actress has been married to Umansky since January 1996, and the pair share three daughters — Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.
With the breakdown of the couple’s marriage set to play out on “RHOBH” this season, Richards continues to fuel romance rumors with singer Morgan Wade despite their denials.
