Christine Mcdonald Kristinia Debarge

Christine McDonald is Kristinia’s mother from her marriage with James DeBarge of the musically-famous DeBarge family.  Much is not  known  about McDonald since she tends to stay out of the limelight. She does not appear on GUHH even though James DeBarge has a big presence on the show.
According to some sources, she  is much younger than DeBarge. Reportedly she  gave birth to Kristinia when she was still in her teens. She  made a few appearances on DeBarge’s Instagram, looking incredibly gorgeous might we add!

McDonald  celebrated her birthday at celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant in Las Vegas with her daughter. Her daughter Kristinia even shared a throwback photo of Mother’s Day this year with a heartfelt message.

Despite that  Kristinia  comes from a famous musically-inclined family, it appears that her mother was the one who encouraged her to pursue her hip-hop dreams.
