Kyle Richards is ready to make daughter Alexia Umansky’s wedding dreams come true.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 56, shared with PEOPLE at the 50th Gracie Awards on Tuesday, May 20, that she is maintaining a light touch when it comes to helping her 28-year-old daughter with wedding planning.
“Alexia is so specific and really has a vision of what she wants,” Richards tells PEOPLE. “So, I’m just there to lend my support and lend an ear and a credit card when she needs it.”
Earlier this week, Richards helped celebrate Alexia and her fiancé Jake Zingerman at their engagement party alongside her ex Mauricio Umansky. The RHOBH star was seen wearing a striking burgundy sequined gown detailed with feathers on the skirt, while Mauricio, 54, coordinated in a burgundy suit with a black dress shirt and burgundy tie.

When asked about what it was like to reunite with Mauricio — whom she separated from in July 2023 — at the event, Richards had only positive words for her ex.
“We get along. We see each other all the time and we get along great,” she said. “So that part’s easy. We’re family.”

Kyle Richards at the 50th Annual Gracie Awards held at the Beverly Wilshire on May 20, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California.
Last month, Richards — who also shares daughters Sophia, 25, and Portia, 17, with Mauricio and daughter Farrah Aldjufrie, 36, with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie — opened up about her secret to navigating a co-parenting relationship.
“Mauricio and I get along really well. You know, we both want the best for each other,” she shared at last month’s An Unforgettable Evening Benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund event. “We love our daughters. So we were very good friends. I have his back. He has mine.”
“I think we’re just really good friends, and we always have been, so that came in handy. That’s one good thing out of that,” she added.
The pair appear to be working together to help Alexia plan her Sept. 6 nuptials with Zingerman, something which the proud mother has been on top of. She previously revealed that she was brainstorming “venues” where they could hold the big event.
Alexia revealed her engagement last year by sharing a glimpse of a romantic dinner with Zingerman together with the simple caption: “11.7.2024 💍.”
In a follow-up post, she reflected on the couple’s journey — as she marked their five-year anniversary — alongside snaps of their time together over the years. “20 years of friendship. 12 years of best friendship. 5 years in a relationship. And now… husband and wife?!!! For the rest of our lives?!!! Piece of cake… we’ve been doing this 😌.
Following the news, Richards expressed her excitement for her daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law during an interview with Parade, saying, “They’re just the sweetest couple.”
“They’re definitely soulmates,” she said. “They’ve been best friends since second or third grade and they’re just so sweet together. I’m so grateful that I’m going to have a son-in-law. I can’t believe it.”
