We May Not See Gina Kirschenheiter’s Husband Matt in RHOC, But He’s a “Poop and Vomit Expert” Behind the Scenes

He sounds like a great guy to have around in a pinch. 

By Jenny Berg

It's pretty much a universal truth: Divorce is a drag (and then some.) Since filming for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 began, newcomer Gina Kirschenheiter has filed for the big D with her soon-to-be ex-husband Matt. Now, the Long Island native is having to adjust to having her husband around less frequently.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

As Gina confessed to her mother on a recent episode of RHOC — and as any parent can attest — parenting solo is one tough gig. When chatting with Personal Space, Gina elaborated on some of the more unsavory aspects of parenthood that Matt previously handled. And let's just say: her husband sounds like a good guy to have around in a pinch.

"My husband is like a poop and vomit expert," she told us. "He really is ... He’s that guy that comes in and there will just be a poop massacre ... and I’ll come in and he’ll be like scrubbing the clothes ... you know I would just throw everything out, so you know he really is not afraid to get into some deep situations."

Deep, indeed! But, Gina still has a few parenting tricks of her own up her sleeve, and she's learning more all the time. "There are so many things that you learn along your journey to becoming a parent. I mean my mantra to parenting has always been really high levels of patience and really low expectations," she said. "It’s just kind of something that I’ve always been saying and I believe it to be true. And it’s something that I’ve been telling new moms or moms-to-be."
