Christian Richard has officially filed for divorce from his wife, Christine Quinn, just two weeks after being arrested for domestic violence in their home. In the divorce documents obtained by Page Six, Richard cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split and is seeking sole legal and physical custody of their son, Christian Jr. He is also asking the court to terminate Quinn’s ability to seek spousal support, although he is not requesting alimony from her. It is unknown if the couple had a pre-nuptial agreement.
The divorce news comes after a rocky March for the couple. On March 19, Richard was arrested for allegedly hitting their 2-year-old son with a glass bottle during an argument with Quinn. The child was injured and taken to the hospital with his mother. Richard was initially booked for assault with a deadly weapon and was arrested again for returning to their shared home despite a restraining order. He was released and has a court date scheduled for April 11. Richard also filed a restraining order against Quinn, which was denied.
In response, Quinn filed her own restraining order against Richard, claiming he once faked a suicide attempt to test her love and has serious mental health issues. She also called the police because she feared he was spying on her and had bugged her hotel room, but no evidence was found. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed their son in 2021, now find themselves in the midst of a tumultuous divorce following these incidents.
Prior to their split, Quinn gained fame as a real estate agent on the Netflix show “Selling Sunset.” After announcing her departure from the series in 2022, she and Richard launched their own real estate company, RealOpen. The couple’s tumultuous marriage has made headlines, with fans and followers concerned about their well-being.

As the divorce proceedings continue, the future of Richard and Quinn’s relationship remains uncertain. The pair had a tumultuous March following Richard’s arrest for domestic violence, with both parties filing restraining orders against each other. Despite their rocky past, the couple will need to navigate the divorce process while also co-parenting their young son. The public scrutiny surrounding their split adds another layer of complexity to an already volatile situation.
The couple’s high-profile careers in real estate and entertainment have also put their personal lives under the microscope. With Quinn’s departure from “Selling Sunset” and the launch of their own company, RealOpen, Richard and Quinn have been in the public eye throughout their marriage. As the divorce unfolds, fans and followers will be eager to see how the couple moves forward individually and professionally. Despite the challenges they have faced, Richard and Quinn will need to focus on what is best for their son as they navigate the difficult process of ending their marriage.
