Because nothing says "I'm needy and a glutton for punishment" like jumping into a new relationship while you're in the middle of drama with your previous one. 

The New York Post reported that even though Gina Kirschenheiter's relationship with Travis Mullen is "still new," she's "having a lot of fun," and she can't wait to get married to him. (Not that this matters for anything, but "it's new, and we're having fun" is the standard line for "relationships" done solely for publicity purposes.)

"We got set up through a friend and I don’t think either of us were expecting to like each other, you know? We just did, and it’s really easy and comfortable. He’s a great person. He’s a really good guy, really sweet, really kind and it’s nothing like I’ve ever really experienced before. I’m just really enjoying being with him and he’s pretty rad, so we’ll see what happens," Gina explained.

Amidst the preview of this new man, it was revealed Gina Kirschenheiter still has drama with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Matt. Even though the exes share three children, they were probably better off apart.

They split up, then briefly reconciled, then Matt got arrested for domestic violence (gross!). So, yeah. Not exactly a healthy relationship.

Kirschenheiter's soon-to-be ex-husband refused to film on the show, which could be the reason why she shacked up with someone who was a little more accommodating to the camera. It's possible, however unlikely, that this is a real-deal relationship, and they will end up walking down the aisle.
