Sutton Stracke's kids that she shares with her ex-husband, Christian Stracke, live a much more private life than she does. But, when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member does give updates on her three children — daughter, Porter Stracke and sons, Philip and James Stracke — they really are so exciting.
In fact, she recently gave a rare look at her life as a mom to her youngest son, James, to celebrate is birthday.
Who is Stracke's son, James Stracke?
Sutton took to her Instagram account on Jan. 24, where she gave a new update on her youngest son, James, who is still in high school. She posted both current and throwback photos of James, in honor of his 18th birthday, showing how much he looks like his older sister, Porter, with his dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. The older photos of James, hanging out with his siblings, going to the movies, and sitting in a stroller, are too sweet. And the current photos of him, alongside Porter, Philip, and his friends, show just how much he's grown up since then.
"This one. Happy Birthday to my youngest, James. It's been a fun 18 years with you, and I can't wait to have so many more," she wrote in the caption of the post, alongside the words "proud mommy."
Sutton visited her mom, Reba, in Georgia during RHOBH Season 14, Episode 10, with cast member, Garcelle Beauvais. After Garcelle told Reba she loved her grandchildren (as seen in the video above), Reba responded: "They are smart. James is kind of weird, but smart."
Sutton took to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, where she revealed that she brought up the comment to James and Reba during this past Thanksgiving, but Reba doubled down on it. "She goes, Well James, you are weird," Sutton recalled. "So, you know, she's gonna stand by what she says. James is his own person,"
Sutton added, noting that he gets some of his traits from his bold grandma: "He doesn't care what anybody thinks, he's gonna do what he's gonna do, and maybe she thinks that's weird, but she does the same thing."
Who is Sutton Stracke's son, Philip Stracke?
Sutton's oldest son, Philip Stracke, just turned 21 years old on Dec. 31. Philip is still in college, attending The Citadel, a military school in Charleston. Sutton revealed in RHOBH Season 12, Episode 13 that he had wanted to go into the military, while she wanted him to go to college. By him attending The Citadel, Sutton noted, she and her son "both win."
Who is Sutton Stracke's daughter, Porter Stracke?
Sutton's only daughter and oldest child, Porter Stracke, turned 22 years old in 2024, around the same time that she graduated from the College of William & Mary with a degree in History. During the RHOBH Season 14 premiere, Sutton revealed that Porter had gotten into law school — although she has not shared which school she will be attending.
"Praise Jesus," Sutton said of the good news.
