Gina Kirschenheiter Gives Update on Relationship With Andy Cohen After Calling Him Out

“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gina Kirschenheiter shared she is in a good place with Bravo producer Andy Cohen after she publicly called him out.

During an appearance on the December 13 episode of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga’s podcast, “On Display With Melissa Gorga,” Kirschenheiter noted that she did not appreciate when Cohen mentioned her house during a September 2023 episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.” Page Six reported that Cohen encouraged his WWHL guest RHOC star Heather Dubrow to name her castmate who “would get the least amount of money if they sold their home.” When she refused to name one of her RHOC co-stars, Cohen stated he believed “it’s probably Gina” as “she has a casita.”

While speaking to Gorga, Kirschenheiter referenced that she reprimanded Cohen for his “unkind” comment in an October 3 Instagram upload. She explained that she felt she could share her honest opinion about Cohen’s remark because they have a cordial relationship. She also stated that he apologized to her for his comment via text after she uploaded her Instagram post, wherein she reminded him that she is the “only cast member to own [her] home, by [herself], without a husband.”

“Honestly, it’s because I respect Andy that I felt that I could clap back to that in a honest, but respectful way. And I knew that was okay because I respect him. And because he is a good person,” said Kirschenheiter.

In addition, the mother of three stated that she believes Cohen said the remark about her house because he wanted “to stoke the fire a little bit.” She also said she is aware Cohen is “a human being,” who sometimes missteps.

“I’m always going to defend myself, but I try to do it in a respectful manner. Because I want the ending to be, like, resolution,” continued Kirschenheiter.

Gina Kirschenheiter Made Similar Comments About Her Situation With Andy Cohen in a Separate Interview

Kirschenheiter made similar comments about her current relationship with Cohen in a December 2023 interview on the “Sarah Fraser Show” podcast. She explained that Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” comments “hurt [her] feelings.” She also suggested she did not expect him to make the remark, as she has “known Andy Cohen for six years.”

In addition, Kirschenheiter stated she was not surprised when Cohen apologized to her.

“I know him enough to know that he’s going to do the right things. And respond correctly because he does give a s*** about me,” said the mother of three.

The New York native also stated she valued his apologetic text message.

“That says more about Andy Cohen to me than him misstepping or going out of bounds. Or saying something that hurt my feelings. Because that to me is why I respect him,” said Kirschenheiter.

Gina Kirschenheiter Spoke About Her Relationship With Her Boyfriend

While recording the “Sarah Fraser Show” podcast episode, Kirschenheiter, who finalized her divorce from her husband, Matthew Kirschenheiter in 2019, mentioned her relationship with her boyfriend of four years, Travis Mullen. She stated that she would like to eventually get married again. She noted, however, that both she and Mullen “went through train wreck divorces.”

Kirschenheiter spoke about dating Mullen in a July 2023 interview on Nick Viall’s podcast, “The Viall Files.” She stated that while she enjoys her relationship, she and her boyfriend have had to figure out how to blend their families together.

“My relationship with Travis has always been a game-changer. He’s such an amazing human. I just love life with him. But navigating two divorces. Blending your kids. Our families. Is a lot,” said the RHOC star.
