The source also provided insight into the role RHOC might’ve played in the split, as season 16—which marked Armstrong’s debut as a Housewife—documented some of her and Holliday’s marital problems. “While Real Housewives of O.C. did not contribute to any problems between Jen and Ryne,” said the insider, “it did force them to observe how they interact with each other.”
Moving forward, the former couple plans to deal with their divorce “as non-emotionally as possible,” another source told E! News. “While they are sad, they know that this is best for the time being.”
Per the insider, Armstrong and Holliday will also remain in therapy together.
