Christine Quinn, former star of Selling Sunset, met her husband Christian Richard through a mutual friend who was also a matchmaker. They hit it off right away and got married in December 2019. Their son, Christian, was born in May 2021, and they had to adjust to parenting while keeping their spark alive. Their daily routine changed with the baby, and they designated nighttime as their “me time” together.
In March 2022, the couple experienced a terrifying home invasion while they were sleeping at home. Two armed robbers broke into their house, but Quinn and Richard were able to lock themselves in their baby’s nursery and call the police. A month later, in April 2022, Quinn announced that she was leaving Selling Sunset’s Oppenheim Group brokerage and started her own firm with Richard called RealOpen. They decided to accept cryptocurrency transactions, which many brokerages were wary of at the time.
However, in March 2024, an incident occurred where Richard allegedly threw a bag with glass at Quinn, which hit their son. He was later arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. In April 2024, Richard filed for divorce from Quinn, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. Neither party addressed the situation further at the time.
Despite the ups and downs of their relationship, Quinn and Richard had a whirlwind romance that led to a quick marriage and the birth of their son. They shared their journey on Selling Sunset, from their wedding that aired on the show to Quinn’s pregnancy and motherhood. However, their relationship took a dark turn with the alleged assault incident and subsequent divorce filing, marking a sad end to what seemed like a fairytale romance. Their journey together highlights the highs and lows of love and marriage, showing that even in the public eye, relationships can face challenges that may not always have a happy ending.
