Mauricio Umansky has given a positive update on his relationship with his estranged wife, Kyle Richards.

In July, it was reported that Buying Beverly Hills star Mauricio and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle had separated, but the couple were soon quick to respond to the reports. They stated that the official split speculation was untrue but that they had a "rough year".

And now it looks like things are officially on the right track for the pair, with Mauricio, who was recently named as one of the contestants on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars, gushing about his contentment with Kyle.

"You know, we're hanging in there, we're working through all of our things, which everybody knows about, and we're just taking it day by day," he said. "I can tell you we are both happy."
