Kyle Richards is entering a new chapter of her life as she navigates the transition to an empty nest while preparing to welcome her first grandchild. As of July 2026, the mother of four is bracing for significant changes in her Encino home as her youngest daughters move toward new milestones.
Preparing for a New Family Addition
The most significant update for the family is that Kyle’s oldest daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, is expecting her first child. Farrah announced the pregnancy in early July 2026, a development that left Kyle “speechless.”
Kyle has been vocal about her excitement regarding the upcoming arrival. Following the news, she shared images on her Instagram Story of herself “practicing” for her new role by pushing her daughter Sophia’s cat, Pippa, in a stroller. Reflecting on the timeline of her own journey into motherhood, Kyle posted a throwback photo of herself holding Farrah when she was just 19 years old.
The pregnancy has been a source of joy for the entire family. In a video shared by Farrah, Kyle is seen breaking the news to her younger daughters—Alexia, Sophia, and Portia—during a FaceTime call.
Navigating the Empty Nest
As her children grow, Kyle is facing the reality of a quieter home. Her daughter Alexia Umansky has been married to Jake Zingerman for six months, and Kyle has expressed how much she enjoys having a son-in-law.
Meanwhile, her youngest daughter, Portia Umansky, is set to attend the University of Colorado Boulder this fall to major in communications. Kyle has shared her pride in Portia’s academic path, posting a congratulatory message on social media.
The departure of her children is a prospect that Kyle admits is “scary.” She anticipates that once Portia leaves for college, Sophia Umansky will also move out of the Encino family home. I know that I'm gonna go from having a house filled with six people down to just me,
Kyle explained. I'm just bracing myself.
Family Dynamics Amid Separation
Despite her ongoing separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, the family continues to prioritize time together. In June 2026, the family reunited for several milestones, including Portia’s high school graduation and Alexia’s 30th birthday party, where the group coordinated in all-white attire.
Alexia and Sophia Umansky recently shared insights into their family life, highlighting their deep appreciation for both parents. In late June, the sisters celebrated Mauricio’s 56th birthday, describing him as the best dad in the world.
The family’s public life remains busy. Beyond these personal milestones, Alexia Umansky and Mauricio Umansky are set to appear as contestants on the fifth season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, which premieres on September 24, 2026.
