The photo of the entire Stracke family is a rare one. According to BravoTV.com, the Strackes were married for 16 years and divorced in 2016. On the RHOBH After Show, Stracke said, “Christian and I, when we separated and then later got divorced, my children flipped. They all just started crying.”
Stracke talked about some of her custody issues with her ex-husband on the 13th season of RHOBH. In a conversation with Richards, she shared that her ex was transferred to London for work and wanted her and their minor son, James, to go with him. He ultimately agreed to them staying in California.
In February 2023, Stracke told the RHOBH After Show that she had a heartfelt conversation with her ex-husband after “letting go” of their marriage. “I did want to say to Christian look we’re always going to have a relationship we’re always going to be parents together, grandparents together, and have lives that intermingle,” she said. The Sutton Concept owner also thanked the wealthy businessman for “being a good dad” even though he was often away for business. She also expressed gratitude for the privileged lifestyle her ex afforded their family.
“Life doesn’t turn out how you always think,” Stracke said on the After Show. “It’s not the, you know, the love affair that I thought I was going to have. Though I still have love.”
