Kyle Richards wasn't surprised when her second oldest daughter, Alexia Umansky, got engaged last month. This is because The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member helped Alexia's fiancé, Jake Zingerman, pick out the engagement ring.
The mom of four recently shared new details about her daughter's proposal plans and how she played an instrumental and special role in their engagement. Jake first asked Kyle for "permission" to marry Alexia, "and then he had me help him through the process of picking out the ring," she explained in an interview with Parade.
"And he was so cute, including me," she noted. "I went with him to many different places to look and it was just so sweet that he included me in that whole process."
Given Kyle's incredible taste in fashion and jewelry, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Alexia ended up with a stunning engagement ring.
