As if you needed another reason to watch the sixth season of Selling Sunset (which drops tomorrow!!), it will likely feature the long-standing friendship between costars/former flames Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim in the wake of the realtor legit being MARRIED now to Australian musician G Flip.
If Chrishell and Jason’s ~love~ and subsequent split is news to you (or if you know alllll about it and just want an excuse to relive the details), keep scrolling for a timeline of their romance and where they stand now post-breakup.
2018
Chrishell joined the Oppenheim Group in 2018, a while after getting her real estate license.
March 2019
Selling Sunset season 1 premiered on Netflix in spring 2019 and viewers learned that Jason had some history with Mary Fitzgerald from the show.
“I don’t give her special treatment,” he told Good Housekeeping about working with his ex. “I understand that there can be frustrations from other agents because they see that Mary is being involved in and brought on to many of my listings. While I don’t share the financials with everyone because that’s confidential, I think that everyone would admit based on just the obvious work that she’s done that she’s bringing more money into this brokerage and selling more properties than anyone else.”
November 2019
Chrishell’s now-ex-husband, This Is Us actor Justin Hartley, filed for divorce. Chrishell opened up about the split on Selling Sunset (naturally) and revealed that she was very much blindsided by the news.
“Because of the crazy way in which this went down, people want answers and I f*cking want answers,” Chrishell explained on the show. “I know people are saying we were only married two years, but it’s like, we were together for six years.…In a fight, that’s his go-to, you know? Like, ‘I’m out, I’m out.’ I hate that kind of impulsive stuff, but I always just thought, you know, that’s just an issue that we work through it.”
May 2021
In May of this year (just a couple of months before news of his relationship with Chrishell broke), Jason told Page Six that he thought dating costars “probably wouldn’t be an epic idea.”
“It’s not that I’ve taken a step back from dating—it’s not on my priority list, to be honest,” he explained. “And no, that wouldn’t be a priority for me. I think that would be complicated.”
July 28, 2021
In July, fans were taken by surprise when Chrishell and Jason went Instagram official during a cast trip to Italy. Chrishell snuck PDA pics of them into a gallery post of other shots from the trip and captioned the post, “The J.Lo effect.”
The same day, Jason confirmed the news to Us Weekly, saying, “Chrishell and I became close friends and it has developed into an amazing relationship. I care about her deeply and we’re very happy together.”

In August, Chrishell and Jason made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in Los Angeles.
August 23, 2021
About a month after they went IG official, Chrishell revealed that she and Jason had been dating for a couple of months before they decided to share the news with the world.
“It’s just one of those things. You don’t want to share with everybody and get all their opinions before you really know what it is,” she told E! News. “We really were really private and secretive for as long as we could until we realized the walls were closing in. People were getting a little savvy to it.”
September 29, 2021
Chrishell and Jason got all kinds of dolled up for a night out with the rest of the Selling Sunset cast—and celebrated the occasion by sharing some more sweet PDA on IG.
November 12, 2021
Chrishell and Jason officially became paparazzi magnets, and snaps of them enjoying some lunchtime PDA made the rounds on gossip sites (Just Jared has *all* the pics, if you need to take a look).
December 21, 2021
After seven months of serious dating, the Selling Sunset stars take to Instagram to confirm that they are no longer together.
“Jason was and is my best friend, and other than our ideas for family ultimately not being aligned, the amount of respect and love we have for each other will not change going forward,” Chrishell wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. “…And thank you Jason for the most incredible relationship and for consistently being honest with me even when it hurts,” it read.
Jason also turns to the platform to talk about the split:
April 10, 2022
In an interview with The Mirror, Jason admits the breakup was hard on him and things are “really tough” right now. He says that he’s not looking forward to seeing season 5 play out, as it was a time when he felt a lot of “sadness, pain, and loss.” The real estate broker also tells Us Weekly, “I think that I made the right decision for myself, but also I think it’s just extremely difficult.…I love her still. I always will. She’s a great woman so there’s just a lot of loss there.”
April 22, 2022
Season 5 of Selling Sunset drops, and our hearts melt yet again when we relive Chrishell and Jason’s relationship. 🥺 The first episode begins with Jason and Chrishell on a couples vacation to Greece with Mary, Romain, Brett, and his girlfriend Tina (TBH, they look so in love that it makes us want to book a baecation stat). Many of the first few episodes center around the ’ship, and *the* cutest segment reveals that Chrishell and Jason have even picked out future baby names. “I know I want to be a mom. We even came up with a name for our fictitious child. Her name is Maverick,” Chrishell says to Jason’s mother. *takes deep breath* *cries*
In an interview with Page Six, Jason admits that watching the ’ship on the show has taken a toll on his healing process. “That was tough. I did watch it a couple of days ago, and it was even more difficult than I expected, so I don’t think anyone should have to do that, to be honest,” he says. “[I’m] still healing, still processing…I think or I’d hoped that maybe I’d…processed it better by now, but it’s clearly going to be a longer process than I expected.”
SOBBING.
May 6, 2022
Chrishell reveals on the show’s reunion special that she is dating Australian musician G Flip, saying, “I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that’s very important to me—their name is G Flip. They’re non-binary so they go by they/them. And they are an extremely talented musician. And it started because, you know, I was just going to be in their video. It’s about this chaotic love story. And, you know, I come from soaps, I love acting, and with the job that we have, I don’t always get to do it. And so at first, of course, I was like, ‘Yes, let’s do that.’”
FYI, the music video is for the song “Get Me Outta Here” and is said to drop on May 13.
As for Jason’s response? Here’s what he had to say: “They seem like a badass, for one, and two, the smile that’s been on your face the last couple minutes makes me very happy, so I’m proud of you.” *struggles to hold back more tears*
May 11, 2023
Chrishell shares the exciting news via an Instagram reel that she and musician G Flip are married, and the vid features snippets of her and her partner spending tons of time together.
“Love doesn’t always go as planned…sometimes it’s immeasurably better,” the Selling Sunset star captions the reel, which ends with an epic photo of the couple married at the end.
Jason, among many of Chrishell’s other costars, chimes in, writing, “I am so excited for this!! You and G are the most inspiring couple and the affection between you both is so pure. I love you two tons and am so lucky to have you both in my life.”
And there you have it, folks! This list will be updated with the next installment of Chrishell and Jason’s v tender friendship.
