Real estate broker Ryan Serhant<\/strong> rose to fame on Bravo\u2019s Million Dollar Listing New York<\/em><\/a>, in which he starred for nine seasons beginning in 2012. The series introduced fans to Ryan\u2019s wife, Emilia Bechrakis<\/strong>, and even documented their nuptials in a special. Now, Ryan stars in his own Netflix series called Owning Manhattan<\/em>. Though Emilia wasn\u2019t on the show much, he did talk about their relationship.\n<\/p>\n

Who Is \u2018Owning Manhattan\u2019 Star Ryan Serhant\u2019s Wife Emilia Bechrakis?<\/h2>\n

Emilia\u2019s parents are Greek, though she was born in New York. However, she spent much of her childhood in a village in Greece called Mani.<\/p>\n

Emilia began her career as a lawyer and received her law degrees from three different schools \u2014 the University of Kent, University College London and BPP Law School, according to her LinkedIn<\/a>. She went on to become a barrister with a concentration in maritime law before becoming the head of the legal department at a shipping company.<\/p>\n

Emilia then moved to sales and is now the vice president of business development at Kensington Vanguard National Land Services. She spoke about her career shift with The Real Deal<\/em><\/a> in 2016, revealing that she considered going into real estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve flirted with the idea of going into real estate for a while,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI go to every dinner and every real estate event with Ryan and it\u2019s become a part of my life. No one wanted to talk about maritime law anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emilia is also an author, having written the children\u2019s book To the Moon and Back For You<\/em>, which was published in 2020.<\/p>\n

How Did Owning Mahnattan\u2019s Ryan Serhant and Emilia Bechrakis Meet?<\/h2>\n

Ryan and Emilia first crossed paths when they attended the same Greek-Jewish charity event in New York. However, Emilia revealed to The Daily Dish that she was sure she couldn\u2019t have a chance with the real estate broker.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s hot, single, oh he must either be gay or married, taken, I dunno what it was \u2014 so I didn\u2019t take him seriously. And then he just kept calling me, which was odd,\u201d she explained to The Daily Dish<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ryan popped the question to Emilia in 2016, as seen on Million Dollar Listing New York<\/em>. They tied the knot that same year in a Greek church in Corfu following Ryan\u2019s conversion to the Greek Orthodox Church. Fans got to watch their nuptials in a four-part mini-series called Million Dollar Listing New York: Ryan\u2019s Wedding<\/em> during the fall of 2016.<\/p>\n

Do Owning Manhattan\u2019s Ryan Serhant and Emilia Bechrakis Have Kids?<\/h2>\n

Ryan and Emilia welcomed their first child, a daughter named Zena, in 2019 after trying for years to conceive.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my daughter,\u201d the reality star wrote on Instagram<\/a> when Zena was born. \u201cYour momma and I have waited almost 3 years to meet you. We had no idea how difficult getting pregnant with you was going to be. We tried everything. We were so nervous you might never come. When we finally decided to try IVF, we were so scared it wouldn\u2019t work. And then you stuck. And then we heard your little heartbeat for the first time. Your mom and I were so excited every time we would go to the hospital to see you, but even more terrified we would lose you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan continued, \u201cBecause the fact that we were pregnant \u2014 as beautiful as it was \u2014 was almost too good to be true. And because of that fear, we loved you as hard as we could from the moment we knew you existed. We thought if we put that love for you out there, you would hear it, and you would make it. I watched you grow slowly with your momma every day, waiting for the moment I would finally meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TV personality said that he felt like he was \u201cworking towards this moment\u201d his whole life.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day when you read this, I hope you can look back and be proud. And please go and give your Mom a BIG kiss because she\u2019s a true warrior, a fighter with the biggest heart, and the Queen of my world. Seriously \u2014 one day we will tell you about all the shots, the pain, the sickness, and what birth was like for your Mom on Tuesday the 26th \u2014 it was insane! We love you now and forever, our new, beautiful, little puff,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
