        <ImageView

I am new to android so you are most welcome for code review.

Try to change your layout like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@ id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="194dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@ id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        tools:srcCompat="@drawable/faye" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@ id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:text="Faye"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@ id/imageView"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@ id/imageView" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@ id/textAppearanceBody1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@ id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@ id/textAppearanceHeadline6">

        <TextView
            android:id="@ id/textView2"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:gravity="center|start"
            android:text="Age : 7"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Hobbies: Sunbathing"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#5A5656" />

    </LinearLayout>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Use it like this

<TextView
            android:id="@ id/textView2"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Age : 7"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:text="Hobbies: Sunbathing"
            android:textColor="#5A5656" />

weight here will allow the first textview to take all the space and will leave the required space for the hobby textview. Use it as per your requirement.
