KEY POINT
- Oppenheim publicly reassured Stause that he remains available to support her during the difficult period.

- G Flip expressed sadness over the separation and asked fans to respect their privacy.
Stause announced the end of her relationship with G Flip in an emotional Instagram video on Monday, Oct. 26. The Selling Sunset star, 45, acknowledged that sharing the news was difficult, particularly because she was still processing the separation.
Oppenheim responded in the comments with a message emphasizing that the breakup did not mean either person had failed. He expressed sympathy for both Stause and G Flip, describing them as beautiful people whose relationship had simply reached an unexpected ending.
He also encouraged Stause to give herself time to process her emotions, reassuring her that she was loved and that he would remain available to support her.
The message carries additional context because Oppenheim and Stause previously dated in 2021. Their relationship and subsequent breakup were featured on Selling Sunset, the Netflix reality series on which both appeared from its 2019 premiere.
In her announcement, Stause admitted she felt as though she had failed, revealing the difficulty of reconciling her expectations with the relationship’s ending.
However, she also offered a different perspective, suggesting that a relationship can be meaningful even when it does not conclude as expected. She described her time with G Flip as an amazing experience lasting more than four years.
Stause explained that she chose to address the breakup publicly because followers had supported their relationship. She also made clear that the separation would not erase her love for the musician, adding that she wanted both of them to find happiness.
Her announcement focused on navigating the emotional aftermath rather than assigning blame or disclosing a specific reason for the split.
G Flip also addressed the separation in an Instagram post, saying they were feeling emotionally overwhelmed and were not ready to talk about the situation.
The 33 year old musician emphasized that the relationship had left them with cherished memories and a special connection with Stause. They thanked supporters while requesting privacy during the difficult period.
Neither statement provided a specific explanation for why the relationship ended.
Stause and G Flip first went public with their relationship during the Selling Sunset reunion in May 2022, five months after Stause’s separation from Oppenheim became public.
During the reunion, Stause described G Flip as a talented musician and explained that they use they/them pronouns. The pair had first met on Halloween in 2021, when both were in other relationships.
They later held a private wedding ceremony in Las Vegas in May 2023, followed by additional symbolic ceremonies.
Following Stause’s announcement, several celebrity friends, including Jana Kramer, Alison Holker, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Chris Appleton, also expressed support in the comments.
For now, both Stause and G Flip have emphasized their enduring affection and their wish to navigate the separation respectfully, without publicly detailing the circumstances behind their decision.
