LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Selling Sunset' star Christine Quinn's husband, Christian Richard has recently been arrested at their $5 million Los Angeles mansion.
According to records from Los Angeles County Sheriff's Jail, Christian Richard Dumontet was arrested on Tuesday at approximately 2 p.m. on a felony charge.

The child received medical attention from paramedics at the scene but did not require hospitalization."
How did 'Selling Sunset' star Christine Quinn meet her husband Christian Richard?
After the first season of 'Selling Sunset,' Christine Quinn and Christian Richard Dumontet were introduced by a mutual friend, not in a real estate context initially. Quinn's friend mentioned that Dumontet was looking for a home, and if things didn't work out romantically, Quinn could still assist him in real estate matters. However, their connection went far beyond real estate. Dumontet recalled falling deeply in love right from the start. Their immediate bond and banter were evident even during their first encounter in the car.
Before his involvement in real estate, Dumontet worked as a software engineer at Cisco in Boston for six years, starting in 2001. He later co-founded an online food-ordering service called Foodler, based in Boston. Foodler was eventually acquired by Grubhub in 2017, marking a successful career move for Dumontet, who was able to retire early. After retiring, he took some time to travel before meeting Quinn in 2019.
