On the latest season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Sutton disclosed that Christian is currently dating a woman who was once considered a friend. This revelation comes on the heels of her earlier disclosure that their marriage was annulled by the Catholic Church, adding layers to their complex history.
During an appearance on Jeff Lewis Live, Sutton elaborated on the situation, detailing how this relationship unfolded. “We’ve known them since my youngest son, James, was in kindergarten or first grade,” Sutton explained, referencing the woman and her family. “They joined the school around that time, so I’ve known her for a very long time. She was like a family friend.”
On Jeff Lewis Live, Sutton addressed how her ex-husband allegedly began dating her friend.
“We have known them since James, my youngest, was in kindergarten, first grade. [That’s when] they came into the school,” said Sutton, assumedly referring to the woman and her family. “So I’ve known her a very long time, and it was like a family friend.”
“She wasn’t like … I didn’t call her,” she added, via @just_bookin_around on TikTok. “But I was in a smaller group. There were four of us. And we all celebrate birthdays together, play tennis together, did that kind of thing. But I did complain about my ex-husband in the small group. And I did complain about like all of that while she was secretly dating him.”
Sutton recalled when she “found out they were dating.”
“That’s when I got angry,” she explained. “The second I found out they were dating, we all cut her out. That was it.”
On The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Sutton shared that she was once friendly with Rachel’s estranged husband. (In a recent episode, Rachel addressed how she filed for divorce amid their separation.)
“I knew Roger better than I knew Rachel,” said Sutton.
“Oh, why is that?” asked Erika Jayne.
“I don’t know. He was just around more,” Sutton answered. “Like in New York especially, I would see him a lot with like our mutual friends.”
“Did you get along with him?” asked Kyle Richards.
“Yeah,” said Sutton. “I mean, he’s tough, but yeah. … I went to him for business advice one time. … When I did that, [Rachel] wasn’t at the office. He was [at the office]. … He was an investment banker.”
