During Season 5 of “Selling Sunset,” Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim, her Oppenheim Group boss, revealed that they had become romantically involved. The pair started dating in the summer of 2021 after being friends and co-workers for years. However, their romance was short-lived, ending nearly six months after they first went public.
Incidentally, G Flip and Stause first met on Halloween 2021, when the two were still with their former partners, and the “Selling Sunset” star was the musician’s realtor. Fast forward a few months, and the two had struck up a fast friendship. Speaking to Vogue, Stause recalled the moment that she realized there was more to their relationship, during a real-estate showing she held for the Australian artist. “It was the same feeling you would have when somebody you have a crush on gets a little too close into your space and you get a little … flustered,” she admitted. At the time, Stause had only ever been in serious heterosexual relationships with men. “For me, that bodily reaction where I was like, ‘Oh, hold on a second, that’s familiar,’ that was a turning point,” she added.

At a later point, she had invited G Flip to a party at her house, where Stause found herself stood up by a date. It gave the pals an opportunity to explore their burgeoning romantic feelings and they wound up enjoying their first kiss. The reality star added, “But I definitely still thought I was straight at that party!”
