The love story of Chrishell Stause, known for her role in Netflix’s Selling Sunset, and Australian musician G Flip, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, began with a serendipitous encounter that quickly blossomed into one of Hollywood’s most adored relationships. Their journey, marked by transparency and mutual support, has resonated deeply with fans, proving that love often finds a way in the most unexpected places.
The Spooky Start: Halloween 2021
The couple first crossed paths at a Halloween party in October 2021. Interestingly, both Chrishell and G Flip were with their respective ex-partners at the time, and to make the encounter even more memorable, they accidentally wore matching skeleton costumes. G Flip later recalled to Vogue Australia in January 2023 that while their costume was a DIY thrift-store creation, Chrishell’s looked like a “million-dollar skeleton.”
A New Chapter for Chrishell: December 2021
Just two months after their initial meeting, Chrishell Stause announced her split from her Selling Sunset co-star, Jason Oppenheim. Their seven-month relationship ended due to differing views on starting a family. Chrishell shared in a now-deleted Instagram post that despite the breakup, their respect and love for each other would remain unchanged, emphasizing their strong friendship.
Signs of Something More: Early 2022
Following both their respective separations, Chrishell and G Flip’s connection began to deepen. They started talking more frequently, discovering numerous similarities despite their different backgrounds. By March 2022, Chrishell posted a selfie with G Flip on her Instagram, captioning it, “Grateful for every person in these pics!” A source later confirmed to Us Weekly that the pair were spotted at an Oscars after-party, noting their intimate interactions.
The relationship progressed quickly, with People reporting in May 2022 that Chrishell had moved G Flip into her Los Angeles home. This significant step indicated the seriousness of their budding romance, ahead of their public confirmation.
The Big Reveal: May 2022
The relationship was officially confirmed during the Selling Sunset Season 5 reunion in May 2022. When moderator Tan France inquired about her dating life, Chrishell enthusiastically shared, “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.” She explained that their connection initially began when she was asked to star in one of G Flip’s music videos, a project that quickly turned into a “chaotic love story.”
Her ex-boyfriend, Jason Oppenheim, expressed his happiness for her, stating, “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.”
“Get Me Outta Here”: The Music Video
A few days after the reunion, G Flip released the music video for their track “Get Me Outta Here,” starring Chrishell Stause as their love interest. The video showcased intense public displays of affection, further solidifying their romance in the public eye. Chrishell playfully promoted the video on Instagram, joking, “Sorry, everyone, I was confused and thought this was how babies were made. 😬 Back to the drawing board!”
Defining Their Love: Gender Identity and Family Dreams
Chrishell took to Instagram to educate fans about G Flip’s gender identity, explaining that they are non-binary and use “they/them” pronouns. She shared her deep attraction to masculine energy, regardless of physical form, and emphasized that for her, love is “about the person. It is about their heart.” She encouraged curiosity and evolution in understanding gender identity, particularly among fans who might find it confusing.
In May 2022, G Flip openly shared their desire to have children in the future during a People Everyday podcast interview. They noted that while they and Chrishell were transparent about their current life stages, children were definitely in their long-term plans. G Flip also highlighted the importance of their relationship in normalizing same-sex relationships and diverse family structures, stating, “Two people who have the same sex organs can still have children.”
Public Appearances and Unwavering Support: Mid-2022
Their relationship continued to gain public attention throughout 2022. They attended the MTV Movie & TV Awards in June, where Chrishell won Best Reality Star. In her acceptance speech, she thanked fans for their support after she came out, acknowledging her nervousness about how her sexuality would be received. G Flip was by her side, a constant source of support.
When G Flip suffered a broken hand in June, Chrishell was quick to offer public encouragement, commenting on their Instagram post, “You can’t be stopped!! Gonna have 2 dominate hands after this. Watch out 🔥👏🔥👏.” In an interview with Vogue, Chrishell described their relationship as “unlocked,” meaning “when they have the key to your heart, but the walls are down and there are no rules or regulations, just love and support.”
Holidays, Magazine Covers, and Vow Tattoos: Late 2022 – Early 2023
The couple delighted fans with their Halloween costumes in October 2022. A year after their first meeting, they attended the Casamigos Halloween bash dressed as skeletons again. Days later, they debuted a second hilarious look: dressing up as each other. Chrishell celebrated G Flip’s 28th birthday in September 2022 with a heartfelt Instagram tribute, describing them as a “sexy musical genius” with a “kind genuine heart.”
The couple spent the holidays in Australia, G Flip’s home country, in December 2022. In January 2023, they graced the cover of Vogue Australia, sharing intimate details of their relationship. To mark their one-year anniversary in March 2023, G Flip unveiled a love song written for Chrishell, titled “Be Your Man,” which brought Chrishell to tears.
The Vegas Wedding: May 2023
In May 2023, after just over a year of dating, Chrishell and G Flip surprised fans by tying the knot in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony officiated by an Elvis impersonator. Chrishell announced the news on Instagram with a video montage set to G Flip’s “Be Your Man,” captioned, “Love doesn’t always go as planned…sometimes it’s immeasurably better.”
However, it was later reported by TMZ and Page Six that the Vegas wedding was symbolic rather than legally binding. Sources close to the couple confirmed that they planned to have an official wedding ceremony later on, underscoring that the symbolic gesture was a profound expression of their commitment to each other.
The couple later revealed a unique way they commemorated their vows: by getting them tattooed. Chrishell had their wedding vows inked on her rib cage, while G Flip got them tattooed on their arm, with the tattoos referencing their Halloween meeting as skeletons.
A Journey Towards Family: 2023-2025
The couple’s desire to start a family has been a central theme in their ongoing story.

We will have a family.”
In March 2025, Chrishell spoke to Us Weekly about the “bumpy road” they have encountered while trying to start a family, including challenges with the adoption process. Despite the difficulties, she remained optimistic, stating, “we do feel like we’re on the upswing.” In September 2025, G Flip discussed Chrishell’s IVF journey with People, acknowledging the emotional highs and lows. “It’s such a hard thing,” they shared, emphasizing the importance of mutual support through “a little bit of good news, a lot of bad news, a little bit of hope, no hope.”
Throughout their relationship, Chrishell and G Flip have embraced unique traditions, including annual vow renewals. They renewed their vows in Australia in July 2023 and again in July 2024. In July 2025, they celebrated with a medieval-themed vow renewal, showcasing their playful and enduring commitment.
The Future is Bright
Their love story continues to unfold publicly, marked by deep affection and shared aspirations. In February 2024, G Flip gushed to People about their marriage, saying, “It’s great. We adore each other and we’re having so much fun and we’re excited for our future and we’re so cute together.” They also revealed that they celebrate anniversaries for numerous milestones, including their first kiss.
In May 2025, the couple appeared on the cover of Us Weekly ahead of Pride Month, with G Flip remarking, “As soon as I met Chrishell, it was the best relationship I’ve ever had. We’ve had a pretty good run. We’ve overcome any little thing that has come our way, we’ve always been able to work through it.” Their enduring bond and commitment to authenticity make them a beloved couple in the public eye.
