What\u2019s been reported is that he became a dad at 20, welcoming his eldest son, Malcolm, in 2004.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1226\">His second marriage is the one most people are learning about now. Ron married writer and content creator Christina Dawn in August 2020, and they later had a son together in 2022.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1426\">By October 2022, they had separated. Ron reportedly filed for divorce in November 2022, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/comedian-ron-funches-files-divorce-195056856.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">The Blast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1794\">Since then, Ron\u2019s talked a bit more openly about how he views relationships now, especially when asked in interviews connected to his <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/01\/26\/ron-funches-claims-dorinda-made-truly-terrible-unaired-comments-towards-him-on-the-traitors\/\">Traitors<\/a> moment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1794\">Appearing on Howie Mandel&#8217;s podcast post-Traitors, Ron hinted he might not want to get married again, basically chalking it up to needing better instincts and boundaries.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1837\">He took out a restraining order<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FRonFunch%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02h2kLWBeq54bkpaQ4vdCYgjZruKEyXhMFDCMgvHkkwjim2QovzTGrqFbjDCQwyUCrl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"781\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"2036\">In early 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/01\/23\/traitors-us-star-rob-funches-revealed-he-had-to-get-a-restraining-order-against-his-wife\/\">Ron filed for a restraining order<\/a> against Christina Dawn, citing verbal and emotional abuse in court documents.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2387\">Those claims were allegations made in a legal filing, not the same thing as a criminal conviction. <a href=\"https:\/\/radaronline.com\/p\/comedian-ron-funches-restraining-order-estranged-wife-christina-dawn-divorce-flee-to-canada-1-year-old-son\/\">Radar Online<\/a> also said Ron claimed that his ex was &#8220;perpetuating a campaign of unrelenting harassment, personal attacks, and disturbance of his peace of mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2417\">So\u2026 where do they stand now?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2774\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/traitors-star-ron-funches-family-guide-kids-ex-wife-and-mystery-girlfriend\/\">Us Weekly<\/a> reported that a temporary request was granted. And the former couple later reached a settlement in October 2024, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intouchweekly.com\/inside-out-2s-ron-funches-massive-income-revealed-in-divorce\/\">PEOPLE<\/a>. The settlement reportedly included joint legal and physical custody of their son, and it \u201cofficially settled their divorce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2776\" data-end=\"3000\">And emotionally? Ron\u2019s made it sound like they\u2019re not exactly cosy. When asked in 2026 whether he\u2019s amicable with his exes, he reportedly said: \u201cNo. More than before. But, friendly, no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Reality Shrine reached out to Christina Dawn for comment.
