Ryan Serhant's wife, Emilia Bechrakis, makes frequent appearances on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing: New York. Ever since Ryan introduced Emilia to the world on the Emmy-nominated series, she has served as Ryan's main support system. The show may center around Ryan's real estate career, but Emilia has an impressive career of her own.

Season nine of Million Dollar Listing New York is currently airing, and Ryan and Emilia are staying busy. Their four-part spin-off show, called Million Dollar Listing: Ryan's Renovation, also premiered on Bravo on June 3. The show follows the Serhant family as they turn their Brooklyn townhome into their dream home, which some fans think is over the top.

Emilia comes from a multi-ethnic background of American and Greek. She was born in New York on July 3, 1985, and has lived in multiple parts of the world. She grew up in a small village called Mani in Greece, but she also spent her childhood in Pennsylvania and Athens. She has a sister and a brother. At 18 years old, Emilia left Greece to attend college in London. She became a barrister, specializing in maritime law. She has been able to practice law in New York since 2016. The 35-year-old does not currently practice law full-time anymore. However, she still offers her legal services by doing volunteer pro bono work for the Innocence Project, which helps to exonerate wrongly convicted people and advocates for criminal justice reform.

Emilia has switched careers and entered the world of real estate like her husband, but in a different realm. The former attorney now works in the title insurance industry as a senior sales representative. In an interview with Bravo, she said, "I stopped practicing maritime law a few years ago, and I got into the title insurance business, which not a lot of people know about, " she said. "One day, I feel like I need to do a little video to explain what title insurance is, but it's real estate-related," she continued. When Emilia was still practicing law before meeting Ryan, she worked for the Mediterranean Shipping Company. She was offered a job at the company's headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, but ended up turning the job down to stay in New York and be with her now-husband, Ryan.

Emilia and Ryan first met when she was visiting New York at a menorah lighting. They both happened to attend a Greek-Jewish charity event shortly before Emilia was supposed to return to Europe. The pair hit it off right away, but Emilia was still skeptical of Ryan. "He's hot, single, oh he must either be gay or married, taken, I dunno what it was-so I didn't take him seriously," she said. However, Ryan remained persistent. He kept calling Emilia, which she thought was odd. Ryan's persistence paid off, and the duo remains inseparable. Emilia chose love over her career by staying in New York for Ryan, but she doesn't regret her choice. Ryan was the first guy Emilia brought home to meet her dad. Since they first met, the former attorney knew she loved him and wanted her dad to meet him no matter what.

After the two got married on the show, they decided to start a family, but it was not easy. The couple has been open about their IVF journey to get pregnant with their daughter, Zena. Emilia gave fans a closer look at her journey on her YouTube page. Although Emilia admits she is a private person, she said she wanted to share her journey with the many women facing the same struggles. Emilia also published a book, To The Moon and Back For You, in March 2020 sharing her difficult journey to have a baby. Zena is now two years old and makes appearances on the show. Hopefully, we can see even more of both Emilia and Zena in the future.
