GlobeNewswire reported that Kirschenheiter, who is a real estate agent, and Mullen released statements about their new career move.

“Real estate is a career I can grow into and build for myself while staying true to who I am. At eXp Realty, I feel a sense of community that’s rare in real estate. It’s not about competition – it’s about collaboration. That’s the kind of environment where we thrive,” stated Kirschenheiter.

In addition, Mullen explained why he is excited to be apart of eXp Realty.

“The flexibility of eXp’s model just made sense for us. The commission cap, virtual tools and supportive community stood out,” said Mullen, as reported by GlobeNewswire. “We wanted to build a brand that reflects who we are, and eXp Realty empowers us to do just that. The Gated Group is opening new doors at eXp Realty. Whether a client is buying, selling or dreaming, we’re here to make it happen.”

According to GlobeNewswire, the CEO of eXp Realty Leo Pareja said he is “thrilled [Kirschenheiter and Mullen] recognized the opportunity to build their legacy here.”

“eXp Realty is where the pros go to grow, and we’re excited to support them on this journey,” continued Pareja.

Kirschenheiter was open about her relationship issues with Mullen, whom she began dating in 2019, during the 18th season of RHOC.

While recording an October 2024 episode of Nick Viall‘s podcast, “The Viall Files,” Kirschenheiter referenced that she and Mullen decided to live separately. She explained she became concerned for her safety because of the behavior of Mullen’s ex-wife, Meghan Mullen.

“The things that were happening from his other side were not okay. And I didn’t want my children [Nicholas, Sienna, and Luca] around it anymore. There were things that were happening that literally made me feel unsafe and that were affecting my kids. Look, Travis is a victim of this too. But that doesn’t mean that I want to continue to be in that environment,” said Kirschenheiter to Viall.

In a September 2024 interview with Page Six, Kirschenheiter described her relationship with Mullen as “fragile.” She said, however, that she and Mullen are committed to each other and are “continuing to work through it.”

“We love each other. And we’re doing what we got to do to get through it,” said Kirschenheiter during the Page Six interview.
