Kyle Richards is one proud mama.
“Anybody who knows me knows that I am obsessed with my kids,” Richards said in season 1 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “Bordering on abnormal, but that’s okay.”
Since then, viewers have watched Richards’ daughters grow up on TV over several seasons of the show. Prior to their separation in 2023, Richards and husband Mauricio Umansky were there for all their daughters’ big moments, including engagements, graduations, birthdays and plenty of other family events.
Richards’ eldest daughter, Farrah, has nothing but sweet words for her mom. “My mom, I don’t know how she juggles being this celebrity on the show and being the mom that would never miss one game or pick her kids up from school,” Farrah told Bravo in 2016. “And she’s so involved and they’re so incredibly loving and supportive, so I think that because of that being on the show is a fun fact of our family. I don’t think it’s the centerpiece of it.”
In July 2023, a source told PEOPLE that Richards and Umansky had separated but “remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”
Later that month, Richards talked about her family during an Amazon Live, revealing that her daughters “felt better” after news of the split broke. She added that the girls are “really strong,” and said they’re “old enough to understand that not everything is perfect all of the time and that’s okay and no matter what they’re loved.”
Here’s everything to know about Kyle Richards’ four daughters.
Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, 36
Richards’ oldest daughter is Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, who was born on Oct. 31, 1988. Farrah’s dad is Guraish Aldjufrie, to whom Richards was married 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 mom. “I had a baby at 19 and all my friends are 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 is the owner of The Agency, and her younger sister Alexia, who is also a real estate agent with the company.
“I always have been interested in real estate since I was a little kid. I’d drive around to open houses with my mom and Mauricio when I was 6, 7, 8 years old, I’d love to see all the houses,” the University of Southern California grad told The Daily Dish in 2016. “I know L.A. geographically really, really well having grown up here. I was an only child for the first eight years, so I spent a lot of time with them and was very interested in everything Mauricio was doing. But I have my own love for property and being in L.A. there’s some of the most amazing properties and lifestyles in the world.”
In November 2022, Farrah addressed the ongoing tension between Richards and her aunt Kathy Hilton on the #NoFilter with Zack Peter podcast. She shared that the feud between the two sisters is not up for discussion between her and Paris.
“We’re both very defensive of our moms — but we’re also extremely, extremely close,” Farrah said. “If we let that interrupt our dynamic, it would be too painful and too hard to untangle. We let our moms do their thing and we just shut it out.”
Farrah got engaged to businessman Alex Manos in November 2021, just before she served as a bridesmaid at her cousin Paris Hilton’s wedding. Unfortunately, the pair split — news that Farrah shared with Entertainment Tonight in March 2024.
“Very sensitive subject to be playing out on TV, but it is what it is,” she told the outlet, referring to season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills. “It was really hard. The whole season, I was dealing with a lot — trying to focus on my career, having so much going on in the family [and] in my own personal relationship.”
Alexia Simone Umansky, 28
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.”
In 2016, Richards also shared with PEOPLE the difficulties of having her daughter go to college across the country.
“It’s hard having her away, she’s such a home girl,” Richards said. “When she comes home to visit, which is often, she cries every time she leaves. I cry … it’s hard.”
Longtime viewers of RHOBH may also remember Alexia was attacked by a pitbull owned by her aunt, Kim Richards, in 2014. The attack was frequently discussed on season 5 of the show, and Alexia reportedly underwent reconstructive surgery and physical therapy after the incident.
As a real estate agent at her dad’s firm, The Agency, Alexia appears in Netflix’s Buying Beverly Hills. She told PEOPLE that she was “super nervous” to share the ups and downs of her professional life.
“I was really, really nervous about all the little mistakes I made,” she said. “It’s really scary putting your career out there for people to see, especially when you’re trying so hard to make it and prove something.”
In November 2024, Alexia announced her engagement to Jake Zingerman. The couple dated for five years before he popped the question.
Sophia Kylie Umansky, 24
Richards’ second daughter with Umansky, Sophia Kylie, was born on Jan. 18, 2000.
Sophia graduated from George Washington University in 2022 and the whole family came 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 weird 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 it’s only a matter of time before she’s a star in her own right.
In 2017, Portia went to school dressed as her favorite superhero: her mom.
“Today Portia was supposed to dress as her favorite Super Hero to school. She chose to go as me. Be still my beating heart!” Richards wrote on Instagram.
Richards also revealed Portia’s talent for makeup artistry. The Halloween Kills actress told PEOPLE in 2018, “She’s actually very good at it. At first I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, what is she doing with the makeup?’ But for her it really is like an art form. I love makeup, so I don’t think she had a chance not to.”
