The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Mauricio Umansky has a lot of important women in his life, including his four daughters Portia Umansky, Alexia Umansky, and Sophia Umansky, as well as (stepdaughter) Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie (Kyle Richards' daughter from her first marriage). But before he became a proud girl dad, the first most important woman in his life was his mom, Dr. Estella Sneider, whom Mauricio remains close to to this day.
"My mom, she's just awesome," Mauricio told E! News in 2023. "She loves me more than anything in the world. She's my biggest cheerleader and my biggest fan and she just keeps sending me love and energy."
Case in point: Estella definitely doesn't miss a chance to shout out her son every chance she gets. "There are no words to describe how proud and happy I am for my son," she wrote in 2023 on Instagram as she celebrated one of Mauricio's career wins at the time. "I am so appreciative as a mother to witness my son's successes. He is living his dreams, and he is supported by a loving family."
It's clear from this other old photo of a young Mauricio and his mom that their bond runs deep.
In 2024, Mauricio's mom posted a sweet tribute to all the important men in her life, including Mauricio. She wrote at the time, "WE ARE A FAMILY FILLED WITH LOVE, SUPPORT & UNITY. This is my cherished family! A family that fills my heart with love and joy! A truly heartwarming Father’s Day celebration for three exceptional fathers: Eduardo, Mauricio, and Kendall. Being with each and every one of you brought me immense happiness and gratitude."
