Amanza Smith is telling to sell a new concept to her kids when it comes to her dating life.
Selling Sunset star and mother of twoâ16-year-old Noah and 14-year-old Brakerâshared that she jokingly calls men sheâs been intimate with âuncles.â
Amanza jokingly told Harry Jowsey on his podcast that she’s had romantic encounters with several men her children affectionately refer to as ‘uncle.’ She clarified these werenât actual relatives, but close friends her kids grew up calling ‘Uncle,’ and admitted to having been intimate with about three of them.
She explained that her kids, now old enough to notice, started asking if everyone was an uncle. She had to clarify, ‘No, not everyone â definitely not Uncle Brett!’
Amanza, a user of the Raya dating app, shared what qualities she looks for in a potential boyfriend.
Amanza Smith is telling to sell a new concept to her kids when it comes to her dating life.
Selling Sunset star Maya Vander, a single mother to her teenage children Noah, 16, and Braker, 14, whose father Ralph Brown has been missing since 2019, recently shared that she has had romantic relationships with men her kids see as family â essentially, ‘uncles’.
Okay, so this is SO wild! I was listening to Amanza on Harry Jowseyâs podcast, and she was telling this story⊠apparently, sheâs realized sheâs⊠well, sheâs dated a bunch of her friendsâ âunclesâ â not actual blood relatives, obviously! She clarified itâs more like guys she got close to through friends, who everyone jokingly called âUncleâ this or âUncleâ that. And she admitted, like, three of these âunclesâ sheâs totally been with! Iâm obsessed with hearing all the details, itâs just⊠a lot to process, honestly! Her kids were apparently shocked when she started talking about it too, which is totally understandable!
The 48-year-old explained to her children that not every man theyâve met is someone sheâs dated. Her kids recently asked if all the men they know are their ‘uncles,’ and she clarified that wasnât the case, specifically mentioning Brett Oppenheim as someone who wasnât an uncle figure.
Amanza is on the Raya dating app looking for a partner, and she has a specific idea of what makes someone a good boyfriend.
She explained that, to her, honesty means sticking to whatever commitments you make. For example, if someone agrees to be in a monogamous relationship, they should be faithful to that agreement.
The celebrity shared that her ideal partner needs to either enjoy being around children or at least be comfortable with teenagers. She also wants someone with drive and prefers they don’t smoke, though she’s okay with vaping.

Amanza shared that she’d prefer a partner who doesn’t smoke marijuana, as she really dislikes the smell. She also wants someone with a good sense of humor and a kind personality â someone who can make her laugh. However, she confessed that she hasnât been focusing on dating much lately.
Lately, I’ve been putting a lot of energy into exploring different business ventures. I’m a planner, and I like to think ahead about what my next steps will be once Selling Sunset wraps up. It’s all about future-proofing, you know?
You can now watch season nine of Selling Sunset on Netflix, and the reunion episode will be available on November 5th.
Read on for more about the love lives of Selling Sunset stars…

People started speculating about a possible romance between Jason and tennis star Genie Bouchard in January 2024, but their current relationship status is unknown.
Jason Oppenheim, owner of The Oppenheim Group, previously dated real estate agent Chrishell Stause for seven months. Their relationship ended because they had different visions for their future families.
He also dated model Marie Lou Nurk for 10 months before their split in May 2023.

Chrishell married nonbinary musician G Flip in May 2023.
I was so touched when Chrishell shared what drew her to G. She explained it beautifully in a video last May. She said sheâs really attracted to strong, masculine energy, and honestly, she doesnât care about someoneâs physical body or gender. G identifies as nonbinary â they feel like a blend of both male and female energies, and Chrishell finds that incredibly beautiful. She said thatâs probably why they connected so quickly and deeply â I totally get it, itâs a really special connection!

In 2022, Brett was linked romantically to tattoo artist Samantha Abdul, following a previous relationship with Australian model Tina Louise.
We first saw hints of their connection in season five, but they didn’t officially become a couple until April 2021. Unfortunately, the relationship ended after eight months.
Sound like a similar timeline to Jason? Must be twin telepathy!

Christine Quinn married tech executive Christian Dumontet (known as Christian Richard on the show) in 2019. They separated in 2024 after Quinn accused him of domestic violence that caused injury to their son, Christian Georges Dumontet. Richard has denied these accusations.
In March 2025, Christine Quinn, known from Selling Sunset, was seen kissing a man believed to be Texas businessman Thomas McGarrity while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Heather Rae Young married HGTV’s Tarek El Moussa on Oct. 23, 2021.Â
Oh my gosh, you guys, I’m still reeling! Tarek â my Tarek, who was married to Christina before, you know, from Flip or Flop â posted the sweetest thing on Instagram yesterday before the wedding. He said that just four years ago, he NEVER thought he’d get married again, he seriously didn’t even believe in love anymore! And thenâŠHeather literally jumped onto his boat, looked at him, SMILED, and that was it! He said thank goodness for that day, and honestly, SAME! It’s just the most perfect story, I’m so happy for them both!
The two welcomed their first baby together in February 2023.

Mary Bonnetmarried Romain Bonnet in 2019 during season one of Selling Sunset!Â
Although we watched Mary and her partner get married on the show, her representative told People magazine that theyâd actually had a civil union a few months earlier, in June 2018, before filming began. They kept it a secret from friends and family because they were still figuring out if their relationship would last.
She shared in April 2023 that she suffered a septic miscarriage.

She married Jeff Lazkani in 2017 but filed for divorce in March 2024 over irreconcilable differences.
They share two children:Maddox Ali Levon and Melia Man.

Emma is single and ready to mingle!Â
The real estate agent told Today she’s currently single and dating, and is hoping to find a more serious relationship.
Whatever happened with Selling Sunset developer Micah McDonald? According to Emma, theyâre still in touch and maintain a good relationship, even after their flirtation in season five.
“TBD what happens with that,” she told Today.

Okay, so Amanza â she’s amazing, seriously! â has two kids with her ex, Ralph Brown, who used to be an NFL player. But honestly, she’s so private about who she’s dating now. It’s like, she keeps her whole love life totally under wraps, and it drives me crazy trying to figure out what’s going on! She’s just so mysterious about it all.
In an April 2022 TopMob News interview, she revealed that she’s been in a secret relationship.
She admitted it’s the one secret she’s managed to hold onto, and now she’s almost challenging herself to see how long it can last. She’s happy it’s remained hidden for so long, and while she knows it might eventually be revealed, she’s enjoying keeping it to herself.
But by the following August, Amanza and land developer David LaQua made things Instagram official.

I’ve been a big fan of Maya Vander for a while now, and I always love hearing about her life! She and her husband, David Miller, tied the knot back in 2017, and they’ve since welcomed two wonderful children, Aiden and Elle. It’s so lovely to see their family grow!
Maya experienced the heartbreaking loss of her third child in December 2021 when she had a stillbirth at 38 weeks of pregnancy. Thankfully, in May 2023, she and her partner welcomed a baby girl named Emma.
