Meet Sutton Stracke's Children – What We Know About Her 3 Kids and Their Private Lives

Sutton Stracke's children may not be front and center on reality TV, but they remain a central part of her life. From quiet milestones to academic achievements, there's far more happening off-screen when it comes to her three children.

Sutton Stracke is no stranger to reality TV fans. As a cast member of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she's shared glimpses of her lavish lifestyle, personal struggles, and friendships on screen. But when it comes to her family, especially her children, she tends to keep things private.

Sutton was married to financier Christian Stracke for 16 years. The former couple wed in May 2000 in New York and divorced in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. Reports at the time noted that Sutton received a substantial six-figure monthly support settlement as part of the divorce.

During their marriage, the couple welcomed three children. Here's everything we know about Sutton Stracke's children and how they've been raised largely away from the cameras.

Meet Porter Stracke – Sutton's Daughter and Future Lawyer

Porter, the eldest of Sutton Stracke's children, was born on May 4, 2002. As the daughter of the TV star and Christian, Porter has occasionally appeared in the public eye. However, she's also carving out her own path far from the cameras.

Porter graduated from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in May 2024. Her mother proudly shared the milestone on Instagram, posting a video montage from the weekend celebration. "Congratulations to the William and Mary Class of 2024! 'Hark Upon the Gale' 😽💗🙌🏻 Next we celebrate our History Graduate," Sutton captioned the post.

Her academic journey didn't end there. Later that same year, she enrolled in Brooklyn Law School. She is currently on track to graduate in 2027, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Although she largely stays out of the spotlight, Porter has appeared on "RHOBH" alongside her mother. In a 2021 interview, Sutton opened up about filming with her daughter.

"She's kind of soft-spoken and she can be a little shy as well," Sutton shared. "But she loved doing it. So it wasn't like, 'I don't want to be here.' She was pretty forthcoming and wanted to do whatever we could do."

With strong academic credentials and a low public profile, Porter is paving her path with a clear focus on her future in law.

Philip Stracke is Sutton's Son Who Is Pursuing a Military Career

Sutton's second child, Philip was born on December 31, 2003. As the middle child of Sutton and Christian, Philip has largely stayed out of the limelight, with only a brief appearance on the show. Still, Sutton has openly expressed pride in his growth and academic path.

At the moment, Phillip is studying at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. His decision to attend a military school followed a formative moment in 2022 when Sutton shared on "RHOBH" that her son once told her he wanted to join the army because he'd grown up "too comfortable."

"You know, he lives a nice life," she explained. "I said, 'Oh, well I'll make you uncomfortable then.'" Sutton recalled sending him to Georgia in the summer heat, where he worked an early morning job delivering vending machine drinks. "A month later, when I picked him up, he wanted to go to college," she noted.

That experience proved pivotal. Philip opted for military school, a decision Sutton described as a win-win for both. Since then, she has proudly supported his journey.

In 2024, she posted a series of photos on Instagram from a campus visit, showing Philip in his cadet uniform. "Take the girl outta the South but she gets a Cadet and still has great friends 😽💙💙💙," she wrote in the caption.

Outside of his education, Philip shares a close bond with his mom. In March 2024, Sutton posted a photo from a mother-son trip abroad. "Months later I get to see this handsome man to steal away from London and head to Ireland!! Took me to his favorite breakfast spot in Marylebone. #motherson trip!!😽💗💗" she shared.

With discipline from military training and a love of travel, Philip is forging a future that blends with worldly experience, distinct from the reality TV world his mother inhabits.

James Stracke Is Sutton's Youngest Child Who Enjoys Travel and Family Time

James is the youngest of Sutton Stracke’s children. Born in January 2007, James turned 18 in January and his mother made sure the milestone didn't go unnoticed.

Sutton celebrated her son's birthday on social media by sharing a heartfelt tribute along with a series of photos documenting his childhood. "This one. Happy Birthday to my youngest, James," she wrote. "It's been a fun 18 years with you, and I can't wait to have so many more."

Though James does not appear on the show, Sutton often offers quiet glimpses into their close bond through her social posts. She frequently shares photos of their outings and shared meals.

In one such post, the duo is seen enjoying a meal at Le Bilboquet, a French restaurant in New York. Sutton shared that it was just her and James spending the day together, enjoying "moules frites and mousse au chocolat in the city" —a favorite outing of theirs.

Sutton's love of travel often includes James. In February 2024, she posted a beachside photo from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where she joined James and his friends for a getaway.

Whether dining out or vacationing abroad, Sutton has made it clear that time with her youngest child is something she cherishes deeply.
