Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter revealed her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, suffered a heart attack that left him hospitalized.
“Wow. We had a scary weekend! Matt (the kiddos dad) suffered a heart attack Saturday! He’s only 40 years old!!” Gina, 40, captioned a series of photos on Monday, March 17, showing Matt, 40, in his hospital bed.
The Bravolebrity thanked Matt’s new wife, Britt Kirschenheiter, for her quick action. The duo married in April 2024 after several years of dating and Britt has become a loving stepmom to Matt and Gina’s three kids: 12-year-old son Nicholas, 10-year-old daughter Sienna and 9-year-old son Luca.
“Thank god Britt rushed him to the hospital and all the hospital staff acted quickly!” Gina continued in the caption.
“The kids were very shaken up but thankfully we can be smiling bc he will be OK! He came home today. The kids and Trav and I are so happy to have their dad back,” Gina noted, including a mention of her boyfriend, Travis Mullen.
“This was too close of a call. Really puts things in perspective. We will all be changing our lifestyle and leaning into the healthy bc being there for our kids is the only thing that matters,” Gina explained.
She went on to thank “everyone who has checked in on us” and stressed the importance of having a loving and supportive blended family.
“For anyone out there struggling to coparent, remember you are all a family and what matters most is that you all get to be there for your kids. Tomorrow is not promised, today is a gift,” Gina noted.
