Gina Liano, a star of The Real Housewives of Melbourne, is grieving the death of her ex-husband, Cameron Reyntjes, who died in a motorcycle accident this week. Reyntjes, 61, passed away on Thursday morning following an incident on the Calder Freeway.
Liano, who shares a son, Myles, 29, with Reyntjes, described the family as devastated by the news. "He was very loved," Liano told the Herald Sun. "I started going out with him when [my other son] Christos was one, so he helped me raise both boys. A handsome, beautiful man."
Liano and Reyntjes were together for 15 years and married for a decade. Reyntjes was also a grandfather to Myles' son, Luca, who is 17 months old. According to the report, Reyntjes had a long-term partner, Paula, for approximately 10 years.
Reyntjes had a known passion for fitness but had previously experienced heart issues and undergone open-heart surgery. Emergency services and bystanders attempted to revive Reyntjes at the scene, but he could not be saved.
Victoria Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash. Initial inquiries suggest that no other vehicles were involved, as the rider reportedly lost control of the motorcycle. "At this stage, it appears the rider has come off his motorbike and no other vehicles were involved," police stated.
The news comes as a reboot of The Real Housewives of Melbourne is reportedly in development. Insiders suggest the show will undergo a "full reset" with changes being made. It is believed that Liano may be the only original cast member to return, joining a new group of Melbourne socialites.
