Reality TV star Kyle Richards has expressed her disapproval of her daughter following in her footsteps into the Real Housewives franchise. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Richards opened up about her feelings towards her daughter, Alexia Umansky, potentially joining the Bravo universe.
As Alexia, 28, prepares for her wedding to Jake Zingerman after his proposal last November, rumours have circulated that she is considering a future as a Real Housewife. However, Richards is not on board with this idea and feels that her daughter has not learned from her own experiences in the spotlight.

Richards, known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, shared with PEOPLE her shock at Alexia’s interest in joining the franchise. Reflecting on the prospect, she remarked, “What are you talking about? You learned nothing from what I’ve gone through.” This candid response highlights Richards’ concerns about the potential challenges her daughter may face.
During a recent red carpet event in Los Angeles, Richards expressed her disbelief at the idea of Alexia becoming a Real Housewife. With two sisters already in the spotlight on the show, Richards indicated her reluctance to have her daughter follow suit. Despite the allure of fame and fortune, she seems to prioritise her daughter’s well-being over the glamour of reality TV.
While Alexia’s intentions are clear, Richards’ future on the Bravo series remains uncertain. Having navigated a tumultuous season 14 that documented her separation from ex-husband Mauricio Umansky, Richards is taking her time to decide on her return for season 15. She highlighted the challenges of living a public life with constant scrutiny and evaluation by viewers.
Season 14, which captured the breakdown of her marriage, was particularly tough for Richards, who admitted she did not watch the episodes. The emotional toll of sharing personal struggles on television has made her reconsider her involvement in the show’s upcoming seasons. Despite the drama and intrigue that reality TV offers, Richards values her peace of mind above all.
As her daughter ventures into the spotlight, Richards continues to grapple with the implications of fame and privacy. Her candid revelations about the hardships of reality TV shed light on the complexities of life in the public eye. Whether Alexia will pursue her Housewife dreams or carve out a different path, Richards remains supportive yet cautious of the challenges that lie ahead.
In a world of glitz and glamour, Kyle Richards’ protective instincts towards her daughter offer a refreshing perspective on the pressures of reality TV stardom. As the future unfolds for the Richards family, fans await to see whether Alexia will heed her mother’s advice or forge her own legacy outside the confines of the Real Housewives franchise.
