Kyle Richards is one proud mother. “Anybody who knows me knows that I am obsessed with my kids,” she shared in the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “Bordering on abnormal, but that’s okay.” Since then, fans have watched Richards’ daughters grow up on television across multiple seasons. Before their separation in 2023, Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, were there for all of their daughters’ significant moments, including engagements, graduations, birthdays, and numerous family events. Richards’ eldest daughter, Farrah, has only kind words for her mother. “My mom, I don’t know how she balances being this celebrity on the show and being the mom who never misses a game or picking her kids up from school,” Farrah told Bravo in 2016. “She’s so involved and they’re so incredibly loving and supportive, so I think because of that, being on the show is just a fun fact about our family. I don’t think it’s the centerpiece of it.
Kyle Richards’ oldest daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, was born on October 31, 1988. Farrah’s father is Guraish Aldjufrie, whom Richards was married to from 1988 to 1992. The RHOBH star was 19 when Farrah was born, and she’s spoken about what it was like to be a young mother. “I had a baby at 19, and all my friends were in college going to sorority parties,” she said. “I was married with a baby and nursing. They’d come visit me, and I’d be breastfeeding my baby. So I didn’t do those kinds of things, girls’ trips. So when we go now, I’m like, ‘This is going to be so fun!'” Now, Farrah is a real estate agent at The Agency, which was featured on Netflix’s Buying Beverly Hills. She starred alongside Mauricio, who owns The Agency, and her younger sister Alexia, who is also a real estate agent with the company.
Alexia Simone, Richards’ oldest daughter with Umansky, was born on June 18, 1996. Like her father and big sister, Alexia also works for The Agency and stars in Buying Beverly Hills. Alexia graduated from Emerson College in 2018, where she studied marketing communication, according to her profile on The Agency’s website. Richards traveled to Boston for the ceremony and posted on Instagram for Alexia’s graduation. “I am so proud of you & grateful that I have the honor of being your Mom,” Richards wrote. “When we dropped you off at college, I thought I would never survive the 4 years. Now you’re a college graduate and coming home!! Congratulations 🎉 I love you with all my heart and soul.
Richards’ second daughter with Umansky, Sophia Kylie, was born on January 18, 2000. Sophia graduated from George Washington University in 2022, and the whole family traveled to Washington, D.C., to celebrate. Richards posted an Instagram photo of Sophia wearing her cap and gown, with the caption, “I love you so much & am so proud of you every day. But today my heart was bursting with pride.” Richards also tagged the photo with Sophia’s areas of study, psychological and brain sciences.
Born on March 1, 2008, Portia was just a toddler when RHOBH debuted in 2010. The youngest of Richards and Umansky’s daughters, Portia is following in her mother’s footsteps as an actress. “Portia is the only one who wants to act, and it’s very strange for me to take her to auditions,” Richards said in a 2018 interview, according to Page Six. “She just has such a good attitude about it, and she’s very good at it,” Richards continued. “She’s screen tested [and] she gets callbacks all the time, but she hasn’t booked it yet, so now I start getting like, ‘Is she going to start getting sad or nervous?’ But she just goes and doesn’t even ask about it again, so I think she thinks this is the job.” But as fans of the show know, Portia has always had great comedic timing and a confident on-camera presence, so it seems only a matter of time before she’s a star in her own right.
Since Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiered in 2010, viewers have had a front-row seat to Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s relationship.

Then, in 2022, Umansky’s own reality series, Buying Beverly Hills, premiered on Netflix. Richards met the real estate mogul in 1994, and the couple wed two years later. Sadly, in July 2023, confirmed that the couple had “separated.” Richards and Umansky addressed the news in a joint Instagram statement. “Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue,” they said. “However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage.” Here’s everything to know about Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s relationship.
