Christine Quinn is building her own new beginning.
Ten months after a painful breakup, Sale Sunset alum, 36, has officially returned to her home state of Texas, where she is putting down roots with her three-year-old son Christian Georges and embracing a new life with the support of her family.
PEOPLE got an exclusive look inside her new abode and spoke with the real estate agent and model about how she and her son are adjusting to life outside the reality TV spotlight.
“I’m really, really grateful to live here,” Quinn tells PEOPLE from her home near Dallas, adding that it’s a blessing “to be close to my family. I have a sister who lives very close to me, and my son has a cousin. So it’s really something I needed as opposed to the chaos when I was in Los Angeles.”

When she first arrived in Texas, fleeing her toxic, crumbling three-year marriage to ex Christian Dumontet in 2024, the former Oppenheim Group agent explains that she had to “find [a place to live] extremely fast,” so he’s currently renting a home that he “absolutely loves” and is in the process of decorating.
“I found a beautiful house,” said the luxury real estate agent, who announced she was leaving her Netflix hit Sale Sunset after 5 seasons in 2022, in stocks. “I would say it’s 60% done, but there are still some things I want to do and take it to the next level because I love interior design.”

“I love black walls, tapestries and wallpaper – and then I bring in a lot of mid-century furniture. Lots of gold, lots of plants, lots of greenery in my kitchen. That’s kind of my general aesthetic and the world I like to play in.”
She adds that the design aesthetic she’s aiming for in the new place is very similar to her previous home in LA, since she “did almost all the interior design” there.

As for how her son is adjusting to their new life in Texas, Quinn says, “He’s absolutely loving it.”
Before their move, the star reveals she was “really worried” about the toddler, who she says was “non-verbal”. Since he moved, she says he’s now “a complete chatterbox”.
“It’s been so crazy since I moved to Texas. I mean, he was literally a non-verbal child at three years old, which is pretty rare,” she tells PEOPLE. “From that he was immediately enrolled in school, he had other children around him, he was so talkative, he was so extroverted.”
She adds that her son has been on an “intensive therapy” program for months. Although they are still working on a lot, she notes, the change in his environment has helped him come out of his shell.
“Children are a product of the environment. And hopefully that will sort of go now,” says Quinn.

Quinn’s move comes after her split from her now estranged husband and the father of her son, who was very popular.
Dumontet was arrested in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident involving their son in March 2024, and was later arrested again for violating an emergency protective order that Quinn says was issued to her. In April 2024, he officially filed for divorce from Quinn after just over three years of marriage.
While Quinn confirms that the divorce case is still ongoing, she says she is “very optimistic that it will be over soon.”
