The Agency’s top agent has changed it up since first appearing with her mom on The Real Housewives.
When The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiered in 2010, Kyle Richards’ daughter Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie was already 21 years-old — but she’s grown up a lot since then.
From occasional appearances on the Bravo show with her mom to starring in a family-focused reality series with her stepdad and sisters, Farrah has come a long way over the last 14 years.
Photos of Farrah’s life in Beverly Hills show how she has changed throughout the years, as she’s launched a super successful real estate career, as well as gotten engaged and since split from her fiancé.
Farrah Aldjufrie on RHOBH
“Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with my kids,” Kyle shared in the Season 1 premiere of RHOBH when fans first met her family. “The most important thing is being a mom.”
It was immediately evident that Kyle had a very close bond with all four of her daughters, and a special bond with her eldest, Farrah, whom she shares with her ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie.
“I was a baby with a baby,” Kyle once said of being a young mom to Farrah, who was born when Kyle was only 19 years old.
“I had a baby at 19 and all my friends are in college going to sorority parties,” she told People. “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!'”
Farrah Brittany’s Relationship with Mauricio Umansky
Farrah shares a close relationship with her stepdad, Mauricio Umansky (and the two now even work together at The Agency — but more on that later).
“I always say I have two dads; they both raised me. They both get along amazingly. They’ve done [real estate] deals together. My dad refers clients to Mauricio all the time. We all get together, he comes to our house for Christmas, Thanksgiving, it’s all good,” she once told The Daily Dish.
“It’s funny ’cause I’m an only child at one house [with my dad] and then I have this huge family at this other house [with my mom and three younger sisters], so it’s kind of the best of both worlds,” she added. “There’s no real separation or divide.”
Farrah Brittany on Her Mother, Kyle Richards
“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 The Daily Dish in 2016. “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.”
At the time, Farrah — who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2010 and started working with Mauricio in real estate after graduating — had no visions of starring on her own TV show.
“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? That kind of scared me about it,” she explained. “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.”
Despite growing up around the spotlight Farrah considers herself more resolved. “I’m just naturally a little more shy than my mom and some people in my family. But I’m not seeking out the spotlight as much,” she said. “I’m more a behind-the-scenes person and with real estate you can have a great life and have a fun, fun job and make a lot of money. So it’s a little more stable and I like that.”
How Farrah Brittany stepped into the reality TV spotlight
Funny enough, it was real estate that led Farrah to her first starring reality TV series gig. The series Buying Beverly Hills, which just aired its second season, follows the top brokers at Mauricio’s real estate firm, the Agency — and, of course, Farrah is among the best.
Beyond her main TV gig, Farrah has also appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Farrah Brittany got engaged to Alex Manos in November 2021
Farrah and the Beverly Hills Car Club owner Alex Manos got engaged after several years of dating in the fall of 2021. Alex popped the question in front of Netflix cameras shortly after Farrah’s cousin, Paris Hilton, tied the knot.
However, the couple was slow to walk down the aisle, and speculation began circulating in the fall of 2023 that the two had split, especially after Farrah shared a cryptic birthday post on October 31.
“[H]ere’s to wishing that 35 will be better than 34, woohoo!” she wrote on her milestone birthday.
Farrah Brittany confirmed her split from Alex Manos in March 2024
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in March, Farrah shared that she and Alex had amicably parted ways. She also offered some insight into what caused the split.
“I guess it was a slow sort of unraveling of two people that love each other very, very much, but actually weren’t seeing eye to eye on a few things,” Farrah told the outlet. “We decided to go our separate ways, unfortunately, but no bad blood there.”
The demise of her relationship will play out on Buying Beverly Hills, and Farrah added that it is a “very sensitive subject to be playing out on TV.”
“But, it is what it is,” she concluded.
How Farrah Brittany is doing today
Just days after confirming her major life change, Farrah shared a rare glimpse into her everyday home life with her Instagram followers, posting a sweet Instagram Story of her lounging alongside one of her cats.
The video showed the furry friend lying on its belly while keeping its paw on Farrah’s arm. Although the clip didn’t include any commentary, it showed that Farrah is prioritizing time with some very special family members.
