It’s been an up-and-down relationship for Gina Kirschenheiter and her boyfriend Travis Mullen.
“Whenever Travis and I are happy, we pay for it,” Gina declares to Shannon Storms Beador in the Season 19 trailer of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
She then hints at issues with Travis’ estranged wife. “Travis’ son — we haven’t seen [him] in three weeks. He’s gotta go back to court,” Gina adds.
In case you need a refresher on Gina and Travis' blended family, Gina has two sons, Nicholas and Luca, as well as a daughter, Sienna, with her ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter. Travis has two daughters, Presley and Bennett, and a son, Joseph, with his estranged wife.
Further complicating things is the fact that Gina decided to move back in and take “a big step in her relationship with Travis," per the season announcement.
The move will be documented on RHOC Season 19, which debuts on Bravo on Thursday, July 10 (with episodes airing the next day on Peacock).
Why did Gina Kirschenheiter stop living with Travis Mullen?
On RHOC Season 18, Gina revealed that Travis and his kids were moving out, partly because of Travis’ ongoing tumultuous divorce. “I feel like in my home, it’s me, Travis, six kids, and Travis’ baggage. And it’s too much,” Gina said at the time.
Gina added that as their six kids grew, it became harder to have them share rooms and bunk beds in their three-bedroom house.
"Now, they need space. They need privacy," Gina explained. "We went and we looked at houses, and we looked at what it would take to get into a house the size of our family, and we can't afford it. Honestly, my gut is telling me that we need to live separately and see where the chips land."
Now, the couple has made progress in their relationship, and decided to move back in together while filming RHOC Season 19.

Gina highlighted her happiness with Travis in the Season 19 trailer, and she’s still madly in love with Travis now. She even posted a video of him dancing with her at a concert on her Instagram on June 30.
“I love you [Travis] even though you don’t dance,” she captioned the moment with a heart.
The couple also took their relationship to the next level in December 2024 when they announced they were expanding their joint real estate careers into luxury markets as a team.
“Whether you’re buying, selling or dreaming, we’re here to make it happen,” Travis said in the social media announcement.
Gina's friend and fellow RHOC Housewife Emily Simpson is also battling a “crisis” in the new season — read more on her son’s health problems.
