Christine Quinn and Heather Rey El Moussa will be sold in season 10.
The former reality stars are set to return for the next season of “Selling Sunset” after exiting the series in 2022.
“This is not a rewind, this is a reintroduction,” Quinn told Netflix’s Tudum on Wednesday. “I came back from a completely different place with greater perspective, confidence, and clarity.”
Since leaving the Netflix hit in Season 4, the former Oppenheim Group agent has moved to Texas after going through a troubled divorce from Christian Dumonte, with whom she shares 3-year-old son Christian.
“Motherhood has a way of clarifying your priorities and changing the way you operate in the world,” Quinn exclaimed. “I started being more intentional about my peace.”
But fans can expect the former TV villain to return to the show in season 10.
“I’m still ambitious and outspoken, but I think people see a version of me that’s more centered and more confident in myself,” Quinn elaborated. “I hope this chapter feels fresh and honest. I’m not coming back to play an older version of myself. I’m coming back to show who I am now and let viewers see that there’s still an edge to growth.”
After announcing she would be leaving the show in 2022, a source told Page Six, “Kristin knew this day would come. She is proud of the work she has put in to make ‘Selling Sunset’ a success, but she could see herself leaving the cast even before she started filming Seasons 4 and 5.”
During season 3, which was filmed in 2019, Quinn married Dumonte. They welcomed a son in season 4 in 2021.
Quinn is currently in the process of divorcing Dumonte, who was arrested in March 2024 on suspicion of domestic violence against her son.
“The suspect threw a bag containing glass bottles at the victim, which missed the victim, but struck and injured the victim’s child,” a spokesperson told Page Six at the time.
In May of the same year, he was formally charged with child abuse.

By June, Dumonte was arrested again for violating a restraining order for using an “agent” to “effectively spy” on Quinn.
Meanwhile, the real estate agent isn’t the only fan favorite returning for season 10.
El Moussa, who filmed seasons 1 to 6, is also scheduled to return to Selling Sunset after leaving the series in 2023.
“I became a mother, I became a wife, I became a business owner, and I finally felt secure enough in who I was to go back into that world and not lose myself in it,” she enthuses to Tudum about her current chapter. “I’m calmer, more grounded and less reactive. I know what I want and I’m not afraid to say it.”
The influencer has a 3-year-old son, Tristan, with husband Tarek El Moussa, and is stepmom to his children Taylor and Brayden with ex-wife Christina Haak.
“Tarek and I were able to create something really beautiful together. We are grounded and happy,” she said. “I want people to see the whole picture of me now, not just the dramatic moments, but the real life I’ve built.”
However, Heather feels that she left the show without properly addressing everything she had to say.
“Some conversations were cut short,” she mused. “I’m not going to pretend things didn’t happen either.”
“Selling Sunset” is available to stream on Netflix.
