Dr. Jen Armstrong And Husband Ryne Holliday Fighting For Marriage Amid Ongoing Divorce!
Dr. Jen Armstrong and her husband, Ryne Holliday, aren’t ready to give up on their marriage.
The 44-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star filed for a legal separation on May 13 in Orange County Superior Court. Jen and Ryne have been married for almost eight years. The cosmetic doctor listed September 8, 2021, as their separation date, citing irreconcilable differences. She later reportedly amended her filing for a divorce and updated the couple’s date of separation to April 6, 2022.
A source dished to Page Six that the couple is currently fighting for their marriage.
“It has been a rough few months, but they are really trying to work on their marriage,” an insider told the outlet.
Jen and Ryne share three children, twins, Cece and Vince, 10, and Robert, 9. The couple reunited for a family beach outing in Laguna Beach, California, on Sunday. The duo was snapped walking on the beach with their arms around each other.
Jen asked for legal and physical custody of their three children with visitation granted to her ex. The reality star requested that a judge terminate Ryne’s option to collect spousal support, and said that she wanted to keep sole ownership of her business. Court documents revealed that she included a property/assets list in her filing and asked to maintain ownership of all items “acquired prior to marriage and after the date of separation.” She agreed to take responsibility of the mortgages of homes located in Honolulu, Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach. She added that she would only accept responsibility for one-half of a $750k personal loan from her mother.
“There was no specific catalyst for the filing,” a source previously told Page Six. “After their first trial separation in September [2021], Jen and Ryne were still in limbo and Jen felt like she needed to take this step to improve their family dynamic.”
The insider continued—“The issues they’ve been having are the same issues that played out on the show. But all is amicable and they are committed to keeping their kids stable and happy.”
Jen and Ryne treated their three children to a fun day at Disneyland, a week before the filing.
“What a magical day in Disneyland with the family! ♥️ thank you @disneyland for the amazing tour and day filled with laughs, smiles, and pure magic!!!!” Jen captioned a series of family photos, on Instagram. “Feeling like a little kid again! ♥️”
Jen spoke to the outlet in February and revealed that the couple’s first separation, which occurred after Bravo cameras filmed their ongoing marital woes for Season 16, proved to be a “healing” experience.
“I’m just going to be honest. We actually separated. We separated and then lived life without each other,” she said at the time. “Sometimes I think you need to get a little shaken up before you really appreciate the other person.”
Fans watched Jen and Ryne struggle over feeling mutually unappreciated within their relationship, on the most recent season of the Bravo show.
Jen owns and operates “Advanced Skincare Dermatology and Plastic Surgery” and Ryne is a business owner and stay-at-home dad.
