Sutton Stracke Clears the Air on Christian’s Annulment Request – “Money Changes Things” With Her Spousal Support Intact!
Sutton Stracke just dropped some major financial truth bombs during Part 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 reunion, and it all started when the topic turned to divorce dollars.
Kyle Richards swore she wasn’t sweating a potential split from Mauricio Umansky, insisting that—even without a prenup—half of his real estate company The Agency is hers.
Kathy Hilton couldn’t resist chiming in: “But Sutton didn’t get half.” Sutton shot back with a quick clarification: “Well, I got half the assets.”
Andy Cohen went straight for the personal question: “Have the monthly payments gone down?” Sutton answered honestly, “Well, I don’t get child support anymore. … But I get my spousal support.”
She reminded everyone that the $300,000 monthly alimony she first revealed back in 2024 never included child support.

That line had Rachel Zoe and Erika Jayne cracking up and joking they’d “marry and divorce” Christian themselves. Sutton fired right back with a laugh: “I’ve already said I’ll take a finder’s fee.”
The conversation also gave Sutton a chance to update fans on where she and Christian stand today. Earlier in Season 15 (Episode 11), she revealed he’s now dating one of her former friends—and their sons James and Philip were already longtime besties with the woman’s kid.
“I think the biggest betrayal was that neither one of them told me about the relationship,” Sutton said. “I had to hear it from my son.”
Still, the two have rebuilt something solid. On the After Show, Sutton shared they spent time together during the 2025 holidays in Georgia. Christian popped by the house and joined Christmas breakfast at her brother’s place.
His new girlfriend was nowhere in sight—Sutton’s keeping firm boundaries, especially during the recent family trip dropping James off at college in South Carolina. She admitted she “couldn’t have taken that.”
The pair have known each other since Sutton was just 13, and she says they “had to work very hard” to get back to doing family stuff. “It’s really about the children. I think, more than anything,” she explained.
“It’s like you want that unit back.” Christian’s reason for seeking the annulment a full decade after their divorce? He thought it would make them better friends. Sutton now calls their vibe “good,” adding they recently grabbed drinks alone after the college drop-off to talk about the kids’ future.
As she put it: “We’re still very much intertwined and always will be. I think we finally made it to the friendship part of divorce.”
TELL US – do you think Sutton and Christian have actually nailed this co-parenting friendship, or is the ex-friend situation still too messy?
