"So basically, we haven't told them," she told The Daily Dish back in late October. "But that's not good, either. We have to tell them. It's hard. Even though I think we're doing as good as possible, you don't want to go to your kids and say, 'Mommy and Daddy are breaking up,' so it's a really hard thing to say. And I think I struggle with that."

Gina hasn't stopped talking about what a great father he is to their kids in several different interviews ever since her turn on RHOC started over the summer.
She attempted to go on her first post-divorce date recently with someone else, which didn't really work for either of them as he ended up back together with his ex-girlfriend!
