RHOC star Gina Kirschenheiter engaged as boyfriend pops question during ski trip with their six kids
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter announced Wednesday that she got engaged to her boyfriend Travis Mullen.
The 41-year-old bride-to-be is ‘still on cloud 9’ after her 40-year-old groom-to-be popped the question on New Year’s Eve during a family ski trip to Big Bear, CA.
Kirschenheiter (born Archer) received congratulatory comments from fellow Housewives Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Gretchen Rossi, Tamra Judge, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Angie Katsanevas, Dolores Catania and executive producer Andy Cohen who gushed: ‘Love wins!’
The Long Island-born realtor ‘was in complete shock’ when Mullen got down on one knee on the back porch of their vacation home after claiming he was just ‘scoping out the right spot for a family picture.’
‘My nervous system was trying to catch up to what just happened in this magical moment,’ Kirschenheiter recalled to People.
‘And I was also trying to process the iceberg that was being presented to me as well! I of course said “yes,” and melted into what was the sweetest kiss I’ve ever felt!’

The couple ‘fell hard and fast’ after being set up by a mutual friend in mid-2019, and Kirschenheiter was the first to slide into Mullen’s Instagram DMs.
‘We have navigated through some pretty intense issues that life has handed us already but it has only drawn us closer and made us stronger,’ the Bravo-lebrity explained.
‘He is truly my person and always has been. He was waiting in California for me.’
Kirschenheiter welcomed three children – son Nick, 13; daughter Sienna, 11; and son Luca, 10 – during her eight-year marriage to her abusive ex-husband Matthew Kirschenheiter, and their divorce was finalized in 2019.
The USC grad is still embroiled in a custody battle with his ex-wife Meghan Mullen over their three children – daughter Presley, 14; son Bennett, 12; and son Joseph, 9 – despite their six-year marriage ending in 2016.
The ‘life partners’ are inseparable considering they also co-founded their real estate company, The Gated Group with eXp Realty, in 2024.
