Mauricio Umansky has held many job titles throughout his career: real estate agent, CEO, fashion designer, and, of course, reality TV figure. But did you know he’s also worked as a model?
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills dad offered another glimpse at his modeling career on Friday, October 3, when he teased his latest campaign for Moshe Ben-Ari’s brand Ari SoHo. The company, which specializes in Italian-made garments and accessories, posted a photo of Mauricio looking equal parts dapper and cool as he rocked a pair of aviator sunglasses, a denim button-up shirt, and dark-wash jeans.
The image — shot by photographer Brock De Haven — also featured a couple of hands reaching into the frame; one was lighting the cigar in Mauricio’s mouth, and the other was pouring a drink into his glass.
“MAURICIO UMANSKY: THE ARI MAN. Coming soon,” the Instagram was captioned.
Maurucio reshared the post in his Instagram Stories and expressed gratitude for the opportunity.
“Thank you to [Ari SoHo] for always making me feel good about my fashion,” he wrote.

Unsurprisingly, the original post received a ton of engagement. Fans, friends, and family members immediately took to the comments section to praise Mauricio’s unexpected gig.
“Yes mate…” fellow RHOBH husband Paul “PK” Kemsley wrote.
“Omggggg,” Mauricio’s daughter Sophia Umansy added.

His eldest daughter, Alexia Umansky, also had a strong but flattering reaction.
“Okayy Mr. Model,” she commented, before her new husband, Jake Zingerman, declared Mauricio a “legend.”

Ari SoHo also dressed Mauricio for Alexia and Jake’s September wedding. The Beverly Hills dad stepped out in a custom tuxedo with a classic white button-down and black bowtie.
Mauricio has worked with the brand since at least 2024, when he was tapped to appear in its spring-summer 2024 campaign. The Mexican-born businessman also filmed a promo video for the retailer, which described him as a “friend of the brand.”
