“I’m still processing this,” Jason Oppenheim told Page Six, and the words still echo across Hollywood.
On Tuesday, August 27, 2024, Chrishell Stause announced on Instagram that she and Australian musician G Flip had ended their two‑year relationship, sending fans of Selling Sunset into a frenzy. The revelation came just days after the reality star posted a photo of herself in a neon‑lit studio, captioned “new chapter.” Oppenheim, the co‑founder of The Oppenheim Group and Stause’s former husband, responded in an interview with Page Six, describing the split as “unexpected” and “hard to swallow.” I read the transcript at 3 AM in my kitchen, coffee cooling on the counter, and the raw emotion was palpable.
Jason Oppenheim’s reaction
Oppenheim said the news hit him like a cold front — he hadn’t seen it coming, despite the couple’s public outings and joint Instagram stories. “I thought they were happy,” he said, “but maybe I was looking at the highlight reel, not the behind‑the‑scenes.” And the former real‑estate mogul admitted he still feels a pang when he sees Stause’s name pop up on the Selling Sunset feed. Not what we expected. He also mentioned that the split might affect the show’s upcoming season, though producers have assured fans that the drama will stay on‑screen, not off‑screen.
Because the entertainment industry thrives on narrative twists, Oppenheim warned that gossip columns will spin this one into a million headlines. He added, “I’m focusing on my kids and the business. The rest can spin.” In my experience, when a reality star’s personal life shifts, ratings often follow — a pattern we’ve seen with ABC7 Los Angeles’s tech upgrades boosting viewership.
What the split means for Selling Sunset
The timing is critical: the show is slated to return in October, and the producers have already filmed several episodes featuring Stause’s new solo storyline. Some insiders say the network will lean into the breakup, weaving it into episode arcs to keep audiences hooked. So the drama could actually boost the series’ streaming numbers, a win for Netflix’s algorithm. Yet fans worry that the chemistry between Stause and G Flip, which often spilled over into on‑screen banter, will be missed. The Oppenheim Group, meanwhile, announced a new partnership with a tech startup focused on virtual property tours — a move that could distract from the personal saga.
“I’m still processing this,” Oppenheim told Page Six.

Key takeaway
- Jason Oppenheim described the split as “unexpected” and emotionally taxing.
- Chrishell Stause announced the breakup on Instagram on August 27, 2024.

And that’s the bottom line: the personal drama is set to become a ratings lever, while Oppenheim refocuses on his real‑estate empire and family.
