Rinder went to Virginia and told Scientology officials that he wanted to speak to his wife and also wanted his possessions. He did not speak to his wife, but was sent a FedEx package with a check for $5,000. His family photos were not sent. Rinder and his first wife, Cathy, divorced after 35 years. He and his second wife, Christie King Collbran, got married in 2013 and have two children. He has no contact with his two adult children from his first marriage. Rinder's official biography has since been removed from the official Scientology website.
