Feb. 1 2018, Updated 4:35 p.m. ET
The wife of former HGTV star Christopher Dionne who was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl has recently spoken out, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Summer-Sage Dionne, of Old Lyme, who is a published writer, according to her Facebook page, seems to be taking the high road while her husband’s future is uncertain.
On Jan. 30, just one day after Christopher turned himself into police, Summer-Sage posted an uplifting quote to her Instagram account.
“You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now,” the post said.
The mom of two captioned the photo with a ton of positive hashtags, including #happylife #soccermom #loveyourlife.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Christopher was arrested Monday in Connecticut on charges of fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor.
According to a report, the alleged sexual assault occurred when the young girl was staying in his house along with his two kids – who are her friends – for a sleepover. As the girl slept on the couch, the married father allegedly went over to her and asked her if she wanted to touch and kiss his penis. He also allegedly took pictures of her chest and caressed her naked body and bum – twice.
After the alleged assault, the girl claimed Christopher warned her not to tell anyone else, because if she did, he would go to jail and his daughter wouldn’t have a father.
Christopher appeared on a pilot episode of Family Flip on HGTV aside his twin brother, Michael. The twins were also in the process of filming a new home renovation show on A&E called House Rescue. However, A&E halted production following Christopher’s arrest.
As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Christopher’s brother has been in talks with his manager to continue filming the show without his twin.
According to a warrant obtained by RadarOnline.com, Christopher admitted to having a non-sexual relationship with his alleged victim’s mother while he and Summer-Sage were having difficulty in their marriage.
Summer-Sage hinted that her and Christopher were having problems back in 2016, when she informed her 1,200 Instagram followers she had moved on.
Hugging a puppy in an Instagram video, Christopher's wife told the camera, “Look at the new man in my life,” and gave him a kiss.
Summer-Sage also hinted that her life had hit a crossroads in recent weeks.
“It will never be perfect. Make it work,” the mother of two posted on her Instagram account.
She captioned the photo, “It’s filled with ups and downs on the journey to pursue happiness.”
