Amanza Smith from Selling sunset Was once married to former NFL player Ralph Brown, and it’s time to share information about her ex, who is missing. The public became aware of Amanza and her relationship with Ralph after she joined the Oppenheim Group for season 2 of the Netflix series. She had known Jason and Brett Oppenheim for years through her best friend and fellow realtor, Mary Fitzgerald. After working as an interior designer for a long time, Amanza thought she would try real estate.
During her first two seasons on the show, Amanza quickly discovered that the real estate game was not easy to win. Not only was she finding it difficult to sell her first home, but she was also feeling the pressure from her boss, Jason. Besides the stress of her new job, Amanza was dealing with some personal issues due to her ex-husband Ralph and his disappearance.
Ralph was once a successful football player in the NFL. Ralph, who is sadly still missing, began his career in the sport when he played college football at the University of Nebraska. Ralph was the 140th overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft and was selected by the New York Giants. Now 43 years old, he played for the Giants from 2000 to 2004, marking the longest one-team stretch of his career.

Amanza Started dating after her split from Ralph and hilariously shared information about a terrible encounter in the Instagram post, where she called her date for “Live with your mother.”
After one Viking season, Ralph, who does not want to be identified, spent a season with the Cleveland Browns and two more with the Arizona Cardinals. His football career ended in 2009. A year after he was done with football, he and Amanza tied the knot in July 2010. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Noah, who was born a year before the wedding. A year after their wedding, the couple welcomed their son Braker in 2011. However, they divorced after two years of marriage.

After leaving the NFL, Ralph had serious money issues and may have some lingering football-related injuries.

In her lawyer’s office, she discovered that Ralph signed papers giving up all custody of the childrenwho stated that he did not know how his body was “broken” Due to football.
Amanza was upset but rallied by joking about the difference between “A Dad and a Boomerang,” With the punchline that a boomerang comes back. Amanza is so strong, she put her children in therapy to help them deal with the pain of a missing father.
What are Ralph and Amanza now?
As of September 2024, There was no new information about Ralph and his whereabouts. Amanza has mentioned Ralph in almost every season of Selling sunsetBut it seems even she can’t talk about him anymore. In Amanza’s first couple of Selling sunset season, Ralph missing was her main storyline. She tried to get back on her feet after losing her husband, and she was able to do that in the Oppenheim Group. While Amanza has moved on, Ralph’s disappearance still affects their two young kids.
Ralph hasn’t returned home yet, but according to a Reddit thread started by radiance345, His grandparents, Ralph’s whereabouts are known by Ralph’s mother and father. Fans in the thread said that his parents know where Ralph is and even blocked all communication with him when he was missing. This was very sad to hear as his parents reportedly have a great relationship with Amanza’s kids. Since Ralph went missing during Amanza’s first season of Selling sunsetWhich was season 2, he may have left because he didn’t want to be thrown into the spotlight again.
Despite Ralph missing, Amanza has moved on with her life and is doing the best she can for herself and her kids. Ralph not being in the kids’ lives is what hurts her the most. However, in Selling sunset Season 8 Amanza is not focusing on Ralph and is also engrained in the seasons drama. Nevertheless, hopefully, one day, Ralph will return home for the sake of their kids.
