Kyle Richards

Despite being best known to modern audiences for her decade on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, Kyle Richards’ screen career extends back much farther. Her first significant acting role came when she was just five years old, appearing in 18 episodes of “Little House on the Prairie”.

Her career as a child actress continued throughout the 1970s, appearing on TV shows such as “Fantasy Island” and “Flying High” but her most famous role came in 1978. Richards played Lindsey Wallace in “Halloween”, a role that she would reprise more than 40 years later in “Halloween Kills”.

As an adult, she continued to have small roles in movies and guest appearances on TV shows, though she did appear in 21 episodes of “ER” as Nurse Dori Kerns.

Richards became a founding member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and has gone on to appear on the show for more than a decade.

Marriage

Richards first married in 1988, when she was 18, to an Indonesian man named Guraish Aldjufrie. She was pregnant at the time and gave birth to her daughter with Aldjufrie, Farrah.

The relationship was short-lived, however, and they separated two years after their marriage and finalized a divorce two years after separating.

In 1994, four years after first separating from Aldjufrie, Richards met Mauricio Umansky. Umansky is the son of Mexican television personality Estella Sneider and is of mixed Russian and Greek Jewish descent.

He was working as a real estate agent in Los Angeles when he and Richards met and has continued to have a successful career in real estate. Richards and Umansky married on January 20, 1996, while Richards was pregnant with her second child.

As part of their marriage, Richards converted to Modern Orthodox Judaism and also attends the Los Angeles Kabbalah Centre. The couple has three daughters together: Alexia, Sophia, and Portia, with Farrah, also spending much of her time with her mother and stepfather.

As a clear indication of their success together as a couple, Richards and Umansky listed their Bel-Air mansion for sale in 2020. The mansion was priced at $5.9 million, featuring seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a large home gym, and a home theater.
