AceShowbiz - Alexia Umansky, 28, the star of Netflix's "Buying Beverly Hills", announced her engagement to Jake Zingerman, her boyfriend of five years, in a heartfelt social media reveal on Thursday night, November 7. The couple marked the milestone by transforming their home into a romantic setting complete with candles, flowers, twinkly lights, and even their cat Sashimi sporting an adorable bowtie.

The couple chose matching white outfits for the special occasion as they celebrated with friends through video calls and reveled in a surprise engagement party organized by their loved ones. The festivities included popping bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne and sharing affectionate moments that were captured and shared across multiple Instagram Stories. Alexia's friends, like Shelby Mo and Madison Buffardi, also shared their joy and congratulations online.

While the engagement itself wasn't a complete surprise to those close to the couple, it marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Both of Alexia's parents, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, had spoken fondly of Jake in previous interviews.

In an Amazon Live session, Kyle mentioned how she anticipated the engagement saying, "She's not [getting engaged] yet, but I do think that's going to happen. They've been dating for four years, almost five years now. They are a very, very, very cute couple and they're great together. And we just love him so much."

Similarly, Mauricio gave Jake his stamp of approval by stating, "Alexia's got a boyfriend that's been around for a long, long time. He's awesome. We love him."

Alexia's transition from living with her parents to moving in with Jake earlier this year is another significant step in their journey together. The couple's home has been a cozy nest for their relationship to flourish, strengthened further by their shared love for their pet cat, Sashimi, whom they adopted together.

Despite the absence of public comments from her parents and sisters - Farrah, 36, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16 - about the engagement, the overall sentiment is that of joy and anticipation for Alexia and Jake's future.

As Alexia and Jake prepare for their life together as an engaged couple, their story serves as an inspiration to young people about the power of love, commitment, and the joy of celebrating significant life milestones with loved ones.
