Kyle Richards' Daughters Are Practically All Grown Up

Kyle Richards is a woman who needs no introduction. Her career in show business began when she was still a child, acting in series like "Little House on the Prairie" and feature films like "Halloween." She continued acting into adulthood, and her filmography made a huge pivot when she joined the reality show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." The series has given fans a glimpse into her life, which includes her four daughters.

"Our immediate family is super, super tight. We're all supportive of each other," Richards' firstborn, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, told The Daily Dish. "We all love being together." 

It's clear that being a mom is the most important thing in Richards' life — the actor even stepped back from her career to focus on her children. "When the other kids were little I was a stay at home mom," she told People in 2018. "Now I have a lot of jobs and it really is great to have my daughters being there and helping pick up with school and all that stuff." Meet Kyle Richards' four daughters and discover everything you need to know about them.

Kyle Richards' husband, Mauricio Umansky, runs a successful Los Angeles-based real estate company called The Agency, and three of her daughters are involved in the family business in some way. Mauricio's stepdaughter, Farrah Aldjufrie, knew this was a career path she wanted to follow since childhood. "I always have been interested in real estate since I was a little kid," she told The Daily Dish. "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." And having grown up in Los Angeles, she has excellent area knowledge.

In a 2020 interview with Haute Residence, Aldjufrie once again discussed her passion for real estate: "Even as a young kid, I had an appreciation for architecture, and I loved imagining what kind of people would be the right fit for each home." 

Her younger sisters Sophia Umansky and Alexia Umansky also work for their dad's company. Like Aldjufrie, Alexia Umansky has fond memories of watching Mauricio build his real estate empire, and it's clear his passion influenced her career path. "I grew up watching my father work. I'd watch him show homes, sit at open houses and build relationships with clients," reads her company bio. "Real estate is something I always knew I loved. And I quickly realized I could devote my life to this industry and be happy."

At the end of "Buying Beverly Hills" Season 1, viewers saw Sophia Umansky join her two older sisters at The Agency. While real estate clearly runs in the family, that is not to say Sophia hasn't had her work cut out for her. In a November 2022 interview with In The Know's "We Should Talk," Alexia Umansky gave an update on Sophia's career. "She's studying for her real estate license right now, and she has not started coming into the office just yet, but next week is our Agency forum, which is where all the offices from around the world come together," she said. "She's gonna be coming to that, and I think that's really gonna open her eyes, and she's gonna be like, 'I wanna start coming in everyday.'" 

Farrah Aldjufrie added that she and Alexia assumed Sophia would get involved with The Agency at some point, but they did not know when she would be climbing aboard. "Even [Sophia is] laughing about it, but that was the plan anyways, that she probably was going to join on her own accord," Aldjufrie said. It's still too early to say whether or not Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky's youngest daughter will also get into real estate, but it's clear that the pull is strong. 

When it came time to figure out a career path for herself, Kyle Richards' eldest, Farrah Aldjufrie, was eager to pick one that was more stable and secure than, say, an acting career. "The entertainment business is awesome, it's fun, but there's only so far you can go, and then what happens when your career [and] your days are over?" she said to The Daily Dish. "Whereas real estate is forever, and you can make a lot of money, and it's not as much about luck as about hard work." Funny enough, Aldjufrie still landed in the entertainment industry thanks to Netflix original reality series "Buying Beverly Hills."

Understandably, Aldjufrie worried about how the series might impact her professional reputation. After watching her own mother weather a number of storms on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Aldjufrie was reluctant to welcome cameras into her real-life workplace and let the chips fall where they may. "I didn't need to do this, I do just fine in my job, so it did feel like a big risk," she said on an episode of "Up and Adam!" "I did not know how I was going to be portrayed. I did see that my mom had a bit of a rough last season [of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills']." However, once she saw the final product, her worries went out the door. "Yes, we have some drama, but it is a professional show," she said. 

Kyle Richards' daughters work hard and are passionate about their studies. Alexia Simone Umansky graduated from Emerson College with a degree in marketing communication. Naturally, her mother was incredibly proud of this special moment in her daughter's life. In 2018, she posted a photo of Alexia wearing her graduation cap and gown on Instagram.

"What an incredible Mother's Day gift. I watched my daughter graduate from college today," Richards wrote. She went on to praise her child and commented on how proud she was. "When we dropped you off at college I thought I would never survive the 4 years," she continued, "Now you're a college graduate and coming home!!"

This is not the first time Richards has spoken about the despair she felt when her daughter left home. "It's hard having her away, she's such a home girl," she said in a 2016 interview with People. "When she comes home to visit, which is often, she cries every time she leaves. I cry ... it's hard."

There is no denying all of Kyle Richards' daughters are genetically blessed, and it should not come as a surprise that at least one of them has shown an interest in modeling. In 2020, Sophia Umansky walked the runway at New York Fashion Week for designer Matt Sarafa. Richards shared a photo from the fashion event and noted that this was her daughter's second time doing runway work. "She was nervous, but she stepped outside of her comfort zone and did it," the reality star wrote. That same year, Sophia walked the runway for Kyle x Shahida, Richards' collection with Shahida Clayton.

If there's one thing all of Richards' daughters have in common, it is an interest in fashion. In an interview with British Vogue, she commented that after her home was broken into in 2017, she had to replace her handbag collection, and now she gets multiples. "I try to get four of everything for each of my daughters," she said.

The Richards-Umansky house is no stranger to glam squads, and evidently, Portia Umansky has picked up a skill or two. 

From an early age, Kyle Richards' youngest's makeup skills have impressed the family. In a 2018 interview with People, the Bravo star shared that Portia did ​​Alexia Umansky's makeup for her 21st birthday. "She's actually very good at it," she said. "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."

And it's not just family members who have sat in Portia's makeup chair. As Richards shared on Instagram Stories in 2018 (via The Daily Dish), her daughter put makeup on "RHOBH" alum Teddi Mellencamp-Arrovaye ahead of a Coachella event. After her face was all set, Mellencamp-Arrovaye shared a selfie and wrote, "I can't even."

If it seems like Kyle Richards' daughters grew up right before our eyes, it's because they pretty much did. When the show began filming, Farrah Aldjufrie was 21, Alexia Umansky was 13, Sophia Umansky was 9, and Portia Umansky was just 1 year old. Richards once told British Vogue, "all of my daughters' milestones have also been documented, so when I have grandchildren in the future, they will also be able to view our family through the show." While spending the bulk of your childhood on a reality TV show may sound surreal, as far as Richards' kids are concerned, it's just life. "They don't think of themselves as being on TV at all," she insisted to The Daily Dish in 2021.

While the kids may be able to separate their real lives from 'The Real Housewives," that is not to say they do not embrace the reality series. "It's actually very funny because Portia has just started watching 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,'" Richards said in the aforementioned chat with The Daily Dish. "She's 13 years old now, and she and her friends have started watching it, and she comes in the other day. She said, 'Mom, this is the best show on television. I'm obsessed. We were binge-watching. We're through Season 3.'" Reality star kids are just like us.
