How old was Crystal Kung Minkoff when she married Rob Minkoff?
As mentioned, Crystal and Robert tied the knot in 2007. Their wedding took place at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu. Rob previously shared an Instagram post about the wedding, and it featured a photo of him and Crystal beneath a canopy of white flowers. Crystal was 24-years-old and Rob was 45-years-old when they got married.
“How lucky can one guy be?” reads his post. By the time the two got married, they’d been dating for nearly five years — and the wait was intentional, Crystal once told The Daily Dish.
Crystal Kung Minkoff and Rob Minkoff's Wedding and Relationship History
The couple had met at a birthday party and spent their first date at the premiere of Finding Nemo. "So, that was sort of like, he went all out. But for him, it was a premiere and it’s work; he goes and he sees, he supports his friend, but for me, it was like, wow, a premiere, you know?" Crystal said.
She continued: "So, that was really fun. And I’d never been to one, but we also [had] a really sort of easy [time] dating. But I was in school still. So, he wasn’t ready to commit to me until after because he knew that I could’ve potentially left to whatever, [leave] California, and gone to medical school. So, we just sort of laid low [at first]," she said.
The RHOBH cast member went on to describe their wedding as an “over-the-top” event, one that "really incorporated our cultures and backgrounds.” (Rob grew up in a Jewish family in Palo Alto, Calif. Crystal is the daughter of first-generation Chinese immigrants and was raised in Northridge, Calif.)
The rest is history. They are now parents to two kids, Max and Zoe. You can follow more of Crystal and Rob's journey today on RHOBH. Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo on Wednesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.
