Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen move back in together
Gina and Travis were introduced through a mutual friend in 2019, less than a year after Gina and Matt’s divorce was finalized. When the pandemic hit, Gina and Travis decided to move in together along with their six children. The living situation appeared to be working for the blended family… that is, until early 2024, when Gina asked Travis to move out of her townhome.

“I do love my life, and I do love my family. But there’s something here that’s just not functioning right because the children needed more space,” Gina explained in RHOC Season 18 as Travis packed his belongings. “It’s just so hard to watch it, you moving out of our house. It’s confusing because we’re not breaking up, and I don’t want us to break up… I do think this is the right decision and I see things we’re gaining from this.”
Fast-forward to 2025, when Gina confirmed she and Travis were shacking up again in a new house. She addressed Travis’ move-out in the RHOC Season 19 premiere, admitting her initial explanation wasn’t completely honest.
“Last year, it was very easy to say, ‘Oh, we can’t afford something together,’ because that wasn’t the real issue,” Gina said. “I found out that I was living with fear and making my decisions out of fear.”
