Selling Sunset alum Christine Quinn found her husband Christian Richard through a mutual friend who played matchmaker. Quinn shared with Bustle in May 2020, "My friend mentioned that he was also looking for a house. I thought it was a double bonus." They had a great steak dinner where they got to know each other and instantly hit it off. According to Quinn, Richard is everything she ever dreamed of.
She mentioned, "He's completely different from me because I enjoy being outgoing and fabulous. On the other hand, he's not into dressing up or looking stylish. His focus is on his work and traveling, which are important to me too."
Quinn and Richard got married in December 2019, less than a year after their relationship began. They welcomed their son, Christian, in May 2021, and had to find new ways to maintain their connection while navigating parenthood.
"Nighttime has become our special time together," she shared exclusively with We in September 2021. "The daytime can get hectic, so we decided to make the nights our own. It's important with babies to establish a routine, so we had to adjust our daily schedule. Our little one typically goes to bed around 7:30. He sleeps until 4:00, then again until 7:00."
Quinn departed from the Oppenheim Group brokerage on Selling Sunset a year later and launched her own firm with Richard.

One month later, Us confirmed that Quinn was leaving the Oppenheim Group. She and Richard then launched their own brokerage, RealOpen.
Quinn explained to Forbes that many brokerages hesitate to deal with cryptocurrency because they lack understanding of how it works. This makes it challenging for agents to conduct transactions involving cryptocurrency. She highlighted that brokers often face issues because they lack knowledge about crypto, struggle to navigate the process, and have doubts about its reliability and safety. RealOpen, on the other hand, utilizes a secure and fool-proof process for handling cryptocurrency transactions.
