New diamond holder Amanda Frances may call herself the “money queen,” but on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15, she shared how her life is rich beyond wealth—including her fiancé Eddie Tsivislavsky and their children.
“As a financial empowerment teacher and coach, I’m the embodiment of everything I teach,” she told producers in Episode 3. “I’m my biggest testimonial. I remember someone who was in one of my courses, and they were like, ‘Of course, Amanda wouldn’t come through just manifesting a man, Amanda comes through manifesting a whole ass family.’”
Amanda told Kyle Richards the story of how she met Eddie in August 2019, when she was walking the streets of West Hollywood back in her “single days.”
“I walk past this really tall, cute guy, and I think—I hope—that he comes after me. I hope I see him again,” she said during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show. “But like, what am I going to do? Be like, ‘Hey, cute man on the street, follow me?’”
She admitted she sent “a little vibe” and “a little look” Eddie’s way—and it worked. After some “witty bantering,” he bought her a drink at West Hollywood’s Laurel Hardware. The impromptu first date was a success.
“You’re very cute, and I feel very attracted to you, and I kind of want to lunge at you and kiss you—like you have a really good heart,” is how Amanda described her first impression of Eddie. She added, “I’m thinking this is crazy.”
Later, she told Kyle, “I do give him my number, and I don’t know, I guess the rest is kinda history!”
Amanda Frances opens up about her children and engagement to Eddie
Amanda described Eddie as her “partner and fiancé and lover” during the Dec. 18 episode. Early in their relationship, the couple made a decision to put babies before engagement or marriage, Amanda shared.
“So once Eddie and I were living together, he asked me what I wanted. What my priorities were,” she told producers. “I was about to turn 36, and I remember telling him that there was an expiration date on my ovaries more than there was an expiration date on my ring finger, and I thought we should get to makin’ babies.”

The couple now shares baby Delilah and two-year-old Canaan, in addition to 7-year-old Shoshana and 9-year-old Liam, from Eddie’s previous marriage. Amanda revealed more about how her own upbringing has influenced how she raises her kids.
“I come from pretty humble beginnings. We didn’t really have a lot. On Friday nights, I used to hang out at Walmart. I would walk around Walmart,” she said in the episode. “They will never grasp that the reason I have them in a stroller walking around Beverly Hills like getting ice cream and going to lunch or whatever, is [because] I dreamed this for them. We walk the streets that I watched on Clueless.”
When Amanda and Eddie got engaged in December 2024 (see photos on her Instagram), it was worth the wait.
“It did take a while for us to get engaged, but then Daddy crushed it,” she told her children in the Dec. 18 episode. “He got me the exact ring that had been on my vision board. Literally.”
Amanda Frances describes her life as a “smama” during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show
While Eddie “never hid at all anything about his life,” Amanda said it was a still a shock to find out he was the father of a 2-year-old and a 3-and-a-half-year-old when they first met.
“That’s so young,” she recalled to Kyle during the After Show. “And you’re newly separated?”
She had reservations about dating Eddie initially. “He’s telling me everything about what went wrong in the marriage, and I’m thinking like, ‘Hot f–king mess,’” she said. But after a few dates, her mindset changed: “I was like, ‘I think I love you!’”

She acknowledged that meeting the children for the first time was a huge step forward in their relationship.
“I knew that he wasn’t introducing me to his kids until like, this is it. So the day I met the kids, it was like, ‘Okay, here we f–king go,’” she shared on the After Show.
She shared how she became known as “Smama” to Liam and Shoshanna. “I need a nickname. I need a something. Amanda’s not—it feels honestly like wrong,” she told Kyle. “Liam was always calling me these weird things. ‘Mama Llama.’ He was always throwing out these weird names. And one day he just said ‘Smama.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god, I hope that’s the one that sticks.’ And then it did.”
