The Real Housewives of Orange County season 16 is well underway and the drama is more over-the-top than ever, thanks to two brand new cast members. There’s former model Noella Bergener, whose ongoing divorce is a major plotline this season. And, there’s aesthetic MD Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, whose constant supply of Botox has made her a huge hit with the other ladies.
Of course, no Housewives season is complete without a few appearances from the House-husbands. Jen’s (often shirtless) husband Ryne Holliday has already popped up in his fair share of episodes — but fans still don’t know too much about him. So, what’s his deal?
Here’s everything to know about Ryne:
Ryne works in the travel industry.
Jen talks freely about her job as an aesthetic MD on the show, but Ryne’s job hasn’t been mentioned much. Turns out, he’s the president of Hawaii Hideaways, Inc., which offers luxury rentals and vacation planning services aimed mostly at small businesses, according to Bustle.
The company is based in Newport Beach, California, and Ryne has become known as a travel expert. In 2018, he was named a top travel specialist by Condé Nast Traveler.

“Ever since I visited Hawaii as a teenager, I knew I would live there for the rest of my life,” a statement from Ryne reads on the company’s website. “I started off small renting my own house to travelers, but then soon branched out to other properties when demand grew.”
“I have been asked if I will expand my business to other locations outside of Hawaii,” the statement continues, “and the answer is always, no, Hawaii is my home and Hawaii is all I want to share with others.”
He also played basketball in college.
Ryne sometimes gives viewers a peek at his sporty side on the show, which he’s been working on since college. He played as a guard on the University of Hawaii’s basketball team.
“When I was offered the opportunity to play basketball at the University of Hawaii, I quickly moved to the island of Oahu and now more than 20 years later, I have not left,” Ryne explains on Hawaii Hideaway’s website.
While the couple goes through a rough patch on the show, it seems like they’re still together.
RHOC‘s midseason trailer shows Jen and Ryne drifting apart: While at a dinner party, Ryne kisses Jen on the cheek. She responds, “can you kiss me on the lips. . . Like we’re married?”
Later, Jen is seen on a phone call. “I don’t know. I guess I’m just tired of being in this relationship,” she tells a friend. And another shot shows Jen dropping a huge bombshell. “Ryne packed his bags and left,” she says, per People.
But on Instagram, all seems well with the Armstrong-Holliday family. “#TBT Ryne after I gave birth… yes… no shirt even back then 🤣♥️🖤💉 #throwbackthursday,” Jen captioned an old photo of Ryne she posted a few weeks ago:

Jen also posted a cute photo of her and Ryne and a Christmas snap with the whole family on IG. So the drama seems to have fizzled, for now.
