A Complete Look At Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen's Relationship
Four years later and The Real Housewives of Orange County couple is still going strong.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter is been no stranger to sharing her the details of relationships on camera. Shortly after joining the cast of Season 13 of RHOC in 2018, the Long Island native announced that she and her then-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, would be filing for divorce. The couple, who was married for seven years, have three kids together — daughter, Sienna Rose, and sons, Nick and Luca.
Once her divorce from Matt was finalized in 2019, Gina was able to find love again with her boyfriend, Travis Mullen.
Gina and Travis just recently celebrated their four year anniversary, and anyone who has watched any episode of RHOC knows that they have come a long way. A complete timeline of the couple's relationship shows just how much has happened between them over the past few years.
Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen were set up by friends in August 2019
Gina confirmed to The Daily Dish in September 2019 that she was seeing someone new. "I am dating someone now and I think its really good," she said. "So far so good, and it's new. But it's good and I'm happy."
That same month, Gina shared how she and Travis first met in an interview with Us Weekly. "We got set up through a friend and I don't think either of us were expecting to like each other, you know?," she said. "We just did, and it's really easy and comfortable. He's a great person. He's a really good guy, really sweet, really kind, and it's nothing like I've ever experienced before. I'm just really enjoying being with him and he's pretty rad, so we'll see what happens."
She confirmed to People that her and Travis had been seeing each other since August.
Gina also shared the first photo of her and her new beau that month, smiling over a cup of coffee. "Always find a reason to laugh," she wrote in the caption of the post. "It may not add years to your life but it will surely add life to your years."
Gina Kirschenheiter introduced Travis Mullen to her kids early on
Viewers know that Gina's three kids play a huge role in her life, so its no surprise that they were involved in her relationship early on. During an October 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Gina announced that all three of her kids had met Travis.
"Yeah, he has kids, so I think it's a quicker acceleration," she said.
Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen moved in together in February 2020
After just six months of dating, Gina took to Instagram where she shared that her three kids and Travis' three kids from a previous relationship would be moving in together, calling it their "#bradybunchhouse."
She told People that same month that the decision was "kind of major" but natural since she felt like she had "known him forever."
"We're just so comfortable," she said. "It's the weirdest thing. I'm not the type of girl that has to be with a guy or in a relationship. Even throughout drama with my ex, I was perfectly fine on my own and doing my own thing. But the moment I started talking to Travis I knew I had very sharp feelings for him."
Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen quarantined together in March 2020
Just one month after moving in together, the world went into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In March 2020, Gina told BravoTV.com in a video that both her and Travis' kids were self-quarantining with their respective exes, leaving the couple their new house to themselves and giving her plenty of time to "step up her breakfast game."
"Today is a good day," she said. "We're still shut in."

After surviving the lockdown together, Gina and Travis celebrated one year of dating in August 2020, which she shared all about on Instagram.
"It's been an amazing year with an amazing man!," she wrote in the caption of the post. "2020 may go down as one of the worst years for many but not for me. I love you babe and I love our life together."
Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen are not ready to get married — yet
Throughout their relationship, Gina has been honest about how she isn't ready to rush into marriage with Travis.
"If I get married, that's great," Gina told The Daily Dish in October 2020. "But like, if we never get married, I'm fine with that too, you know? To me, I think I just look at marriage in general differently. And I think it's much more important to have a happy, high functioning, solid relationship, rather than, you know, a certificate or whatever."
But, during an episode of RHOC in February 2022, Travis told Terry Dubrow that he could see himself marrying Gina in "one to three years."
Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen got "fake married" in January 2023
In spite of not having an engagement ring and being comfortable without marriage, Gina's three children and Travis' three kids surprised them with a totally not real backyard "wedding."
The children marched down the aisle ahead of Gina and Travis while the bride wore leggings and the groom wore jeans. "It was absolutely perfect," she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post documenting the sweet gesture.

As fans saw during Season 17 of RHOC, Gina and Travis' relationship is still super solid. "This year has been a big year for us," she told BravoTV.com in May. "A lot of our relationship was during COVID and now that we're out of that, we're really getting such a nice good rhythm."
She also added that the two are starting to work together. "Right now everything is great, but maybe next year that will destroy us, who knows?"
In July, Gina took to Instagram where she praised her boyfriend.
"Thank you for being able to walk with me through things I could not walk through alone," she wrote in the caption of the post. "Thank you for doing all of the things you always do and never asking for or expecting a thank you. It's who you are that makes everyone in your life love, appreciate, and respect you and not many people have that kind of currency in the bank."

"Thank you for dealing with my sass and always keeping me laughing," she wrote in the caption of the post.
