Christine Quinn Has a New Life in Texas With Her Son After Divorce

Christine Quinn and her son have said goodbye to L.A. as they’re putting down new — and familiar — roots in Texas.

“I am really, really grateful to be living here,” the Selling Sunset alum, 36, said of her new home near Dallas in an interview with People published on Friday, January 17. “[It’s a blessing to] be close to my family. I have a sister who lives really close to me, and my son has a cousin.”

Quinn, who was born in Dallas, added that having loved ones close by was “really something” she “needed as opposed to the chaos” of life in Los Angeles.

Over the past year, the real estate agent has faced a series of ups and downs with estranged husband Christian Richard. In March 2024, Richard was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly throwing a bag with glass in it at Quinn. The following month, Richard filed for divorce from Quinn, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The exes share son Christian, 3, whom they welcomed in May 2021.

While Quinn and Richard’s divorce is currently ongoing, the reality star told the outlet that she is “very optimistic that it will be finished soon.”

Quinn has settled down in a new home in Texas, and it’s no surprise that she’s spearheading the decorating process herself.

“I found a wonderful house,” she said. “I would say it’s, like, 60 percent done, but there’s still some things that I want to do and really take it to the next level because I love interior design.”

As Quinn has established herself back in the Lone Star State, Christian is also adjusting well to the new environment. Before the move, Quinn confessed that she was “really worried” about her little one as he used to be “nonverbal.” Since their relocation, Christian has become a “complete chatterbox,” per Quinn.

“It’s just so crazy since I moved to Texas. I mean, he was literally a nonverbal child at 3 years old, which is pretty rare,” she explained. “He went from that to being immediately enrolled in school, having other kids around him, being so talkative, being so extroverted.”

In addition to connecting with other children in his new home, Quinn added that her son has also been in an “intensive therapy” program. However, she believes that the new landscape has played a major factor in Christian’s personal development.

“Children are a product of the effect of their environment,” she said. “And hopefully, that’s kind of coming through now.”
