From friends to romance to coworkers, Alexia Umansky and Joey Ben-Zvi have had quite an interesting relationship. When “Buying Beverly Hills” aired on Netflix in 2022, it was obvious the two real estate agents had a spark.
According to The Cinemaholic, the two became friends back in middle school. However, it wasn’t until they began their professional journey that they had a brief fling. Their romance ended after they realized they wanted to further their professional careers. And it also didn’t help to know Umansky was the boss’s daughter at the agency. Ben-Zvi even shared in one episode that he “for sure had feelings for Alexia. But I work with her, her father, and her sister, so I always knew it was not an option. If work weren’t in the picture, maybe.”

Ben-Zvi has been more open about his and Umansky’s past relationship … maybe too much. According to Us Weekly, the real estate agent admitted on the show to having a makeout session in the back of Umanksy’s father’s car, and she had something to say about it. Umansky said, “It’s not your everyday situation where you kind of make out with your high school friend, and then you talk about it three years later on TV while you have a boyfriend and your dad and your sister and all your colleagues are involved. That’s a little bit of a weird situation.” The two have a close friendship, but that’s all it will ever be.
