Hi and sorry for the late reply.
The answer is that ‘real’ is not equivalent to ‘existing in spacetime’.
I take quantum states as referring to real objects that exist as a quantum substratum, outside spacetime, and that spacetime events are emergent from that real substratum–as Miroljub notes.
So the idea is that we need to expand our notion of what it means to be ‘real’.
