Gina Kirschenheiter

Reality television star Gina Kirschenheiter is best known for appearing in the smash hit Bravo show The Real Housewives of Orange County. Kirschenheiter made a splash on the show when she joined the cast in the 13th series back in 2018. She has also taken the world of social media by storm and is now followed by over 657k fans on Instagram.

Although her life now is all about the sunny West Coast, the star grew up in Long Island and says she will always be an East Coast girl at heart. After attending Hofstra University in New York where she did her major in Psychology, she began her career as a flight attendant working for North American Airlines. She may have been an outsider from Long Island when she moved to California and joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2018, but she quickly shook things up amongst the existing cast and became a fan favourite.

Kirschenheiter joined the show after a difficult year after she split with her husband in a messy divorce. Viewers saw Kirschenheiter move into her new home with Travis, her new boyfriend and their combined six kids, and she also bravely opened up about her messy divorce from ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter, who recently pleaded guilty in a domestic battery case after he attacked Kirschenheiter when the pair were still married.

Now moving on with her life and with her television career on an unstoppable rise, Kirschenheiter also finds time to support several worthwhile charitable causes, including Surf and turf therapy – an organisation providing non-traditional approaches to therapy.
