The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 14: News, Release Date, Cast, Trailer & Everything We Know

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills season 13 is coming to a close, meaning season 14 will likely start filming soon. Here's an update on the season.

This could likely be due to Christian, who prefers to avoid the public eye. Plus, his career in finance starkly contrasts the high-drama of the reality TV world. However, this isn't showing as Sutton keeps a lot of her personal life away from the RHOBH cameras. Sutton mainly focuses on the drama in the group and rarely opens up about what she has going on at home. However, this could be because Christian prohibits her from going any deeper into her life that may be more private. This was called out by fellow cast member Erika Jayne in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.

"I feel as if, if I was able to lay it all out there you should be able to as well [...] Nothing is as it appears"

Overall, Christian ever appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is slim to none. He doesn't want Sutton to be in the spotlight, let alone himself. Nonetheless, Sutton will continue to thrive as a fan favorite on the Bravo series.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
