Gina Kirschenheiter & Travis Mullen’s Holiday Date Night Included the "Most Exciting” Twist
The RHOC couple shared an unexpected moment while dining at Cheesecake Factory: "Oh my god..."
From glitzy galas and live concerts to birthday parties and holiday soirées, Gina Kirschenheiter has had her fair share of terrific date nights. However, her latest outing was definitely one for the books.
On Sunday, December 22, The Real Housewives of Orange County mom braved the crowds and went holiday shopping with her longtime boyfriend, Travis Mullen. Of course, the couple chose not to document the trip on social media, as video and pictures could’ve spoiled surprises for their families; but once the shopping spree was over, Gina took to Instagram to provide a peek at her and Travis’ casual dinner date.
“Love a little last minute Xmas shopping and [Cheesecake Factory] date with [Travis Mullen],” she captioned a Story of the restaurant’s specialty menu.
Gina & Travis' unexpected dinner experience
About an hour later, Gina returned to the ’Gram to share an exciting and unexpected development.
“Oh my god, we’re in Cheesecake Factory and this woman’s water just broke and she’s having a baby,” the OC mom said in a video. “It’s the most exciting thing to ever happen to us. Right, Travi?”
“Yes, very exciting,” Travis said as Gina turned the camera toward him.
“Right there. So exciting,” she continued. “It really goes down in Cheesecake Factory.”
Gina congratulated the patron and wished them “good luck” in the caption.
Gina reflects on her and Travis' blended family: "I couldn't be happier"
The date night went down more than five years after Gina and Travis began dating. The two entered the relationship with three children each. Gina shares two sons, Nicholas and Luca, and a daughter, Sienna, with her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter; while Travis shares two daughters, Presley and Bennett, and a son, Joseph, with an ex.
Gina spoke about her blended family in an October interview with The Daily Dish, saying she was so grateful that her kids had four parental figures: her, Travis, Matt, and Matt’s new wife, Britt Kirschenheiter.
“We have it all figured out. I couldn’t be happier and more proud of my co-parenting situation,” Gina said. “We’re just parents. You know what I mean? Like, we’re parents to our children. I’m a parent. Travis is a parent. Matt’s a parent. Britt’s a parent. It’s not even co-parenting, it’s just parenting. Our kids have four parents. We’re their family. They’re safe and happy with any of their four parents and that’s just our life.”
Will Gina ever remarry or have more kids?
Although Gina and Travis are still going strong, the OC ’Wife has said a second marriage wasn’t “a top priority,” and she had no intentions of having more kids. Gina addressed both topics in a 2020 interview with Us Weekly.
“Right now, it’s hard ’cause we have six kids, but we also have days when we have no kids,” she said about her and Travis’ blended family. “If we have a baby, then we don’t have that. So, I don’t want to give that up. ‘Cause I think it’s really nice that we have that time to work on us...
“I could definitely see myself marrying [Travis],” Gina continued. “For the kids, maybe it would make it easier for them to understand and feel more comfortable about being like, ‘This is my stepdad.’ But I’m also like, ‘I don’t need it.’ I feel so good and happy and confident in our relationship. It hasn’t been my focus.”
