Although they seem to genuinely love each other, Gina Kirschenheiter and her boyfriend Travis Mullen have struggled to stay together.
“Whenever Travis and I are happy, we pay for it,” Gina tells Shannon Beador in the trailer for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19.
The trouble stems from Travis’ estranged wife, who wants to drive a wedge between Travis and his long-time girlfriend. “Travis’ son — we haven’t seen [him] in three weeks,” Gina tells Shannon in the sneak peek. “[Travis has] gotta go back to court.”
The RHOC Season 19 trailer sees Gina get emotional about her relationship
Between them, the couple have six children. Gina shares two sons, Nicholas and Luca, and a daughter, Sienna, with her ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter. Travis has two daughters, Presley and Bennett, and a son, Joseph, with his estranged wife Meghan Mullen.
Season 18 showed Gina helping Travis pack his things as he prepared to move with his children to another home. Specifically, the situation with his ex had gotten too volatile, and Gina didn’t feel safe.
Megan repeatedly threatened Gina and her kids, prompting them to take out a restraining order against her. “I feel like in my home, it’s me, Travis, six kids, and Travis’ baggage,” Gina said at the time. “And it’s too much.”
Rather than break up, they stayed together. Surprisingly, their relationship has grown to the point where Travis and Gina are ready to live together again with their shared six kids. Hence, Travis’ return to Gina’s house was filmed for Season 19.
Additionally, in December 2024, the couple took their relationship to the next level when they decided to go into business together. They announced the expansion of their joint real estate careers into marketing luxury homes as a team.
“Whether you’re buying, selling or dreaming, we’re here to make it happen,” Travis said in the social media announcement.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 premieres on July 10 on Bravo in the US, streaming on Peacock the next day. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
