Selling Sunset did not get the exclusive listing when it came to a between two of its stars. In a world of blind items and , it would’ve been nearly impossible to hide that real estate agent Chrishell Stause and her boss, broker Jason Oppenheim, were dating. As such, the fifth season of Selling Sunset—all 10 episodes of which debuted April 22—had a lot to prove.
How does Netflix make a relationship that was back in July 2021 (before season 4 had even premiered) and over by the end of the year feel like must-see reality TV? The answer: by simply allowing Chrishell and Jason’s real life to happen.The show’s fifth season leans hard into their interoffice romance, kicking things off with the European getaway on which Chrishell and Jason went public. During a trip with fellow agent (and Jason’s ex!) Mary Fitzgerald, her husband, Romain Bonnet, Jason’s brother, Brett, and his girlfriend, Tina Louise, it becomes clear that our lovebirds have been dating on the down low for a while.
Jason declares that he’s “in love” in episode one, and Chrishell says, “I feel like it’s the first time I’ve really been my full self and I don’t have to change anything.”Last November, Stause told Vanity Fair that Oppenheim was her “best friend” even long before anything turned romantic. “When he kissed me, truly, even in the moment I thought like, Oh, my God.
I thought it’d be something we’d laugh about the next day and not ever talk about again,” she said. “And, obviously, that did not happen.” Still, the pair kept their relationship hidden from production for months of filming season 4 before coming clean.
