Chrishell Stause

Season five of Selling Sunset shows how Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause got together and why they broke up. This is their relationship timeline with ...

“These bachelors, it’s so frustrating when they say that they want a relationship and then they don’t really want that and their actions do something else,” Stause explained. In “Selling Sunset,” Stause noted that she didn’t see anything romantic in Oppenheim at first because he was shorter than her. I’m so happy and I’m with someone that respects me ... it’s everything I ever dreamed of.” This was the first time Stause dated someone she was friends with first, and the experience was a good one. “So you have your small group of people that you end up hanging out with and it just kind of happened where I think what started as something that was a little, you know, just going to be really light and nothing, you know, no feelings, nothing like that … it just really took a turn,” she told TODAY in November 2021. “I’ve never had a situation happen before where I became best friends with someone first,” she told Entertainment Tonight in November 2021. “We worked so well together, and we have so much respect for each other. I’m just saying there was none of that,” Stause said in the show. “Jason was there for every breakup I had, and every bad day, and we became close through all those conversations. Then we became more friends and I feel like it’s the first time I’ve really been my full self and I don’t have to change anything,” she said in episode one. “When I first heard the news about Jason and Chrishell, I was a little confused by the caption. Or, more specifically, Oppenheim tells Stause “I’m in love, babe” over dinner.

Why did Selling Sunset stars Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim split up? Why doesn't Jason want to have kids? What has Chrishell said about the break-up?

“And then, when the breakup happened, I wanted to take control of my future, so I wanted to do one more round.” However, Stause made it clear that she still values her friendship with Oppenheim. “When people break up, at least for me in the past, I would see it as a failure. Oppenheim's post continued, “While we have different wants regarding a family, we continue to have the utmost respect for one another. “I did one round of freezing my eggs when I was doing Dancing with the Stars,” she said. Until then, 2022 bring it on.” Clearly, this is a woman that knows what she wants. Meanwhile, Oppenheim revealed on Instagram, “While Chrishell and I are no longer together, we remain best friends and we will always love and support one another. There's heartbreak there for different reasons on both sides, but there's also a lot of love there. And as much as this hurts me to say, I've been clear with him what that would mean, so we are done.” I’m not ready to talk about what happened with Chrishell, but we just wanted different things.” He continued, “Usually I’m good at getting on with business but right now, I think about her every day. In the final episode of season 5, Stause and Oppenheim's relationship ends somewhat abruptly. While Oppenheim isn't seen onscreen discussing the breakup, an earlier scene in the episode provides a clue.

In one scene, Maya Vander and Christine Quinn discussed a possible conflict of interest with Stause and Oppenheim's relationship, with Quinn questioning if their romance was the reason she was getting less real estate listings. Months after their split, the early days of Stause and Oppenheim's relationship were highlighted in the Selling Sunset Season 5 trailer. In the interview, Stause said it was an "easy transition" from colleagues to partners because "we were working so much together as it was, and we work so well together." "She wants marriage and a family, so the fact that the journey hasn't gone as planned has made her feel like life hasn't always been fair to her. She continued, "Men have the luxury of time that women don't and that's just the way it goes. "While Chrishell and I are no longer together, we remain best friends and we will always love and support one another," Oppenheim wrote. This is a cause close to my heart and I feel like speaking on it helps dismiss the conventional stereotype some people have of who these people are." As Stause told PEOPLE in February 2022, she's "extremely proud" of their relationship, and the pair still has a lot of love for each. You don't want to share with everybody and get all their opinions before you really know what it is," Stause told E! News. "We really were really private and secretive for as long as we could until we realized the walls were closing in. Another follower replied to the snap of Oppenheim doing push-ups, claiming it was "just weird to do with your boss!!" "I'm definitely looking for someone that I'm friends with, and that I'm happy with, because I can have stress in my life from work," he said.
