Christian Stracke’s Marriage and Divorce with Sutton Stracke
Christian Stracke and Sutton Stracke got married on May 13, 2000, in a lavish ceremony that was featured in the New York Times. They had three children together, a daughter named Porter and two sons named James and Philip. The family lived in a luxurious mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles, which they bought for $7 million in 2012.
However, their marriage was not as perfect as it seemed. In 2016, he and Sutton decided to separate, citing irreconcilable differences. They filed for divorce in 2017 and finalized it in 2018. The divorce was amicable, and they agreed to share the custody of their children and the assets. Sutton received a generous settlement from Christian, which allowed her to maintain her high-end lifestyle and pursue her passion for fashion and philanthropy.
Sutton Stracke is now a cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a popular reality TV show that follows the lives of wealthy women in Beverly Hills. She joined the show in season 10 as a friend of Lisa Rinna and became a full-time housewife in season 11. She is known for her outspoken personality, her extravagant wardrobe, and her friendship with fellow housewife Erika Jayne.
Stracke is not involved in the show and prefers to keep a low profile. He does not appear on camera, and Sutton rarely mentions him on the show. However, she has said that they are still on good terms and that he is supportive of her endeavors. She has also said that he is a great father to their children and that they co-parent well together.
How Sutton Stracke Handles Coparenting With Her Ex Christian Stracke Who Lives in London
Sutton Stracke, the star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has opened up about the challenges of co-parenting with her ex-husband Christian Stracke, who moved to England in June 2023. The former couple, who were married for 16 years, share three children: Porter, 21, Philip, 20, and James, 17.
Sutton, 52, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 23, that she and Christian, 52, have a good coparenting relationship, but it’s not easy to coordinate with someone who lives in a different continent and time zone. “We coparent very well together, but it’s hard to coparent with someone that’s in England and I’m in California, so it’s like, the time [difference] is really far,” she said.
Sutton explained that she used to have a week-on, week-off schedule with Christian, but that changed when he relocated to London for his work as a portfolio manager. Now, she has her youngest son James with her all the time, while her two older children are in college out of state. “Every time I turn around, he’s there, he’s there. I’m like, ‘Oh, there’s James,’” she joked. “And meanwhile, [this is] a very big part of my life where I’m busy and working.”
Sutton, who owns a fashion boutique called SUTTON and films episodes of RHOBH, said that she had to adjust her schedule and communicate with James about her work commitments. “This month of January has been really busy with work, and I had to tell [James], ‘Look, January is going to be crazy, and then it’s going to calm down,’ and he understands that we have to work together, the two of us,” she shared.
Despite the difficulties, Sutton said that having James full time has brought them closer together. “Closer than you would think a mother and a teenage boy would get,” she gushed. “I always call us the ‘odd couple.’ I make dinner, we eat, we watch our show [and] we talk, we hang out together. And so, in a way, it’s this very strange blessing that he gave me [when he moved], because I get James, my son, with me all the time, so thank you, Christian.”
Sutton added that she considers their situation “a blessing” and that it’s “working” for now. She also said that she and Christian are still on good terms and that he is supportive of her endeavors. “He’s a great dad, and he’s very proud of me,” she said.
Sutton also revealed that she has found some new friends among her RHOBH castmates, especially Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais, who are also divorced single moms. “We had a night where just Erika, Garcelle and I [were filming and we] had the best time,” Sutton recalled. “The three of us just relaxed, and I think we all three were surprised at how much fun we had together. We kept saying, ‘We have to do this again off camera because we have a lot in common.’”
Sutton said that she, Erika, and Garcelle are “really smart businesswomen” and that they have a similar sense of humor. “They make fun of me, which is fine, but we like to talk about all kinds of different topics and [we’re] really smart businesswomen, and so it was a really good trio,” Sutton quipped.
