During an interview this week, Mauricio and Alexia opened up about their new show, with Mauricio admitting that Kyle acted as a support system for Alexia throughout production.
“Alexia had a lot of drama. She had a lot of ups and downs,” Mauricio told POPSUGAR. “You’re going to witness them, and watch them, [but] it’s really fun. I think Kyle definitely helped her through that process as a [therapist].”
And not only that. Alexia said that in addition to getting tons of advice from her mom in regard to the logistics of a reality show, she also went to her for fashion assistance.
“First of all, my mom styled me every day, basically,” she revealed. “So you’re going to see a lot of duplicate outfits of hers and mine on [RHOBH] and Buying Beverly Hills.’”

Alexia also learned that filming is a “lot of hard work.”
“So when I needed to be cool, calm, and collected, I went to my mom and she always made me feel better,” she recalled. “This was something totally out of my comfort zone, so she was that grounding support. She’s had so much experience [and] so many tips throughout the whole entire thing.”
“It was definitely emotional for me in a lot of ways, but I have become, I would like to think, a much better agent now because of it,” Alexia added.

As for Mauricio, he told POPSUGAR that viewers of Buying Beverly Hills will get to see him step out of the “supportive husband” role.
“It’s totally different dynamics,” he explained. “The dynamic between me and Alexia and my daughter Farrah is very interesting and real. The fact that we’ve already been on television and in front of a camera for 12 years has probably made us a little bit more comfortable, [but] you’re going to see a completely different dynamic and some great emotions.”
Looking back at her first season of Buying Beverly Hills, Alexia said the experience was “very humbling.”
“[It was] a humongous learning experience for me,” she shared. “There were a lot of moments where we did this [work], all these agents as a team, and so we had to discuss a lot of the things I did right and wrong as a team [as well], almost like a magnifying glass . . . It was definitely emotional for me in a lot of ways, but I have become, I would like to think, a much better agent now because of it.”
Buying Beverly Hills season one begins streaming on Netflix on November 4.
