Discover the romantic journey of Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause and G Flip This timeline highlights key moments in their relationship, from speculation to confirmation and beyond
Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause has opened up about her unexpected romance with musician G Flip. Despite initial surprise, Stause revealed that her attraction to masculine energy and good humans remained unchanged. Speaking on the Selling Sunset season 5 reunion, which streamed in May 2022, the real estate agent expressed her openness to good energy and uncertainty about her future. Despite the constant judgment that comes with being in the public eye, Stause expressed her happiness with the situation.
Stause began dating G Flip following her split from Jason Oppenheim in late 2021, which was featured on season 5 of the Netflix show Under Construction. However, their relationship came to an end when Oppenheim expressed his desire to not have children, leaving Stause heartbroken and causing Oppenheim to feel remorse for the pain he caused. In a deleted scene, Oppenheim shared his regret for potentially missing out on a good thing and the difficulty of seeing Stause happy with someone else.
Before her relationship with Oppenheim, Stause had a brief engagement with Matthew Morrison and was previously married to Justin Hartley. Hartley, who stars in the television show This Is Us, filed for divorce in November 2019, which resulted in a messy divorce that played out during the show's third season. Stause claimed that Hartley informed her their marriage was over through a text message, to which she responded on the show in 2020 by stating, "If that’s really what you wanted, there are better ways to go about [it]. I talked to him right after 'cause I thought that must be a joke, but that was kind of the end of the communication. What am I supposed to say? What do you say after that? It’s like, now I have to find a place to live. Now I have to scramble and figure this out, you know?"
Stause expressed her desire for a family as she continues her relationship with G Flip. During the season 5 reunion, she mentioned her previous serious relationship with Jason and how she's hopeful to start a family. However, she also noted that she's taken the pressure off herself in terms of what that family will look like. She's open to adoption and other options, and is currently enjoying her time dating and having fun.
