Christian Richard, the 45-year-old husband of Selling Sunset alum Christine Quinn, has been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
Police claim Christian threw a bag containing a glass bottle at his 35-year-old wife Christine, but it narrowly missed her but struck their 2-year-old son.
The couple got married in an incredibly lavish ceremony which was broadcast as part of Selling Sunset’s third season in 2020.
Christian was seen being led out of their home by LAPD, dressed in a bathrobe, following the alleged domestic dispute in Hollywood Hills, TMZ reports.

Their two-year-old son, also named Christian, was taken to hospital afterwards in an ambulance, and was accompanied by his mother, sources told the publication.
Christian, who is a millionaire following his lucrative, years-long career in the tech industry, is currently being held on a $30,000 bond in jail, according to records.
Christian is the creator of Foodler, an American online food ordering service which sold to GrubHub in 2017 for $51 million.
Spokesman for the LAPD Jeff Lee told the DailyMail: “A victim and a suspect were involved in a domestic dispute when the suspect threw a bag at the victim with a glass bottle inside of it. It missed the victim, but that object struck a child.
“'The suspect was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.”
This claims comes as a shock to many who have been following Christine and Christian’s marriage.
Following their marriage in 2019, Christine said: “'Him and I had an amazing steak dinner and got to know each other, and we just hit it off right away.
“He's everything that I ever wanted,' she said. 'And then [my friend's] like, "Also, he's looking for a house," and I was like: double bonus.'”
They had their son, Christian, in 2021.
At the time, Christine opened up on Selling Sunset about her ‘traumatic’ birth.
She said: “He was coming out sideways, and his umbilical cord was wrapped around him. They said his heart rate's going down. All I hear is, 'Emergency C-section. Let's go, let's go!'
“When we were doing the emergency C-section, my heart rate was going down, the baby's heart rate was going down.
“I just remember before I went under the anaesthesia, hearing the baby's heart rate was going down, and they were afraid it was gonna stop.
"That's the last thing I heard until I woke up. So it was a nightmare, it was literally a nightmare.
"We're thankful to say that all three of us were able to come home from the hospital, and we're just counting our blessings each and every day."
Christine later wrote on Instagram: “I thank God everyday for my blessings, and my miracle baby.”
