Christine Quinnâs estranged husband, Christian Richard, was denied his request for a restraining order amid their divorce.
Quinn, 35, and Richard, 44, filed for restraining orders against one another following an alleged domestic violence incident in March. The Selling Sunset alumâs request was granted last month, but Richardâs was denied on Wednesday, April 17, Us Weekly can confirm.
From our partners:
Quinnâs attorney issued a statement after the court hearing, noting, âWe are pleased that the Court dismissed Christianâs baseless request for a DVRO against Christine today. As such, all of his requests have been denied again. The Court also extended Christineâs Temporary Restraining Order protecting her and her son from Christian until May 14, 2024. We look forward to appearing at that hearing to obtain a permanent restraining order.â
People reported that the pairâs hearing was pushed because Quinn wasnât able to serve Richard with the court ordered restraining order. In earlier paperwork, Quinn claimed she was told by a man who was removing Richardâs belongings from their shared home that he was currently âin Europe.â
Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn and Husband Christian Richard’s Timeline
Quinnâs restraining order stated that Richard must not come within 100 years of her, her home, her vehicle, her job or their childâs âschool or childcare.â Since the paperwork wasnât served, however, those orders cannot currently be enforced. She has until May 9 to serve Richard the order.
Quinn and Richardâs marital issues made headlines in March when he was arrested and booked for assault with a deadly weapon. A temporary restraining order was put in place following the incident. Richard was subsequently taken into custody for a second time after violating the order when he returned to their home.
Richard subsequently filed for divorce from Quinn after two years of marriage, citing âirreconcilable differencesâ as the reason for their split. Richard also requested full legal and physical custody of their 2-year-old son, Christian, while allowing Quinn visitation.
Court documents obtained by Us on Tuesday, April 16, state that Quinn is seeking sole legal and physical custody because Richardâs âactions and behavior have put our sonâs health and wellbeing at risk.â
A source has since told Us that Quinn âfelt controlledâ by Richard throughout the entirety of their relationship.

âHe never liked that her whole brand was about sex appeal and Christine would often have to lie about what partnerships or photoshoots she was doing so Christian wouldnât have a meltdown,â the insider added, noting that Quinn âfelt unsafeâ for a while. âIt has been toxic for several months and Christine has been in distress. ⌠It is going to be a long messy road ahead of them, as they both have restraining orders and are not in agreement on plans with their son.â
Quinn and Richard tied the knot in December 2019 following a whirlwind romance. The former reality star met Richard through a mutual friend, which led to them dating.
â[My friend was] like, âAlso, heâs looking for a house.â And I was like: double bonus,â Quinn recalled to Bustle in May 2020. âHim and I had an amazing steak dinner and got to know each other, and we just hit it off right away. Heâs everything that I ever wanted.â
She added at the time: âHeâs the opposite of me in every way because I love to put myself out there. I love to be fabulous. He doesnât care about dressing up or looking good. He doesnât care about any of that stuff. He only cares about his work and traveling. Which I care about as well.â
