Fans have been left shocked by the end of Chrishell Stause and G Flip’s three-year marriage.
An insider has now described how the Selling Sunset star repeatedly travelled to Australia to support her musician partner, whose birth name is Georgia Claire Flipo, as their careers pulled them to opposite sides of the globe. Over time, Stause reportedly began to feel she was the one doing most of the work to maintain the relationship.
The 45-year-old Netflix personality announced on Monday that her relationship with the 33-year-old non-binary artist was over. Stause said she remained in love and acknowledged that she did not completely understand why the marriage had ended.
TMZ reported that G Flip, who uses they/them pronouns, made the decision to separate. Sources close to the couple also told the Daily Mail that the Australian artist initiated the break-up.
The couple had appeared happier than ever only days before the announcement. However, sources told the Mail that Stause repeatedly rearranged her schedule to spend time with G Flip during the musician’s demanding touring commitments, as they tried to keep their marriage strong despite extended periods apart.
Earlier this month, the couple were seen together in Australia, where Stause travelled to support G Flip during their headline performances at the Yours and Owls Festival in Wollongong on October 3 and 4.

Stause posted backstage footage on Instagram Stories, showing G Flip urging concertgoers to put down their phones and preserve real-world memories with Instax cameras instead of leaving them buried in a camera roll.
“It’s so sad they seemed so happy when I saw them in Wollongong together,” a music industry insider told the Mail on Tuesday.
“G’s got heaps of Aussie shows this month and is staying here for the time being,” the source added.
“Chrishell was always the one coming down and making the effort to be with them and make it work.”
Since beginning her relationship with the Melbourne-born musician, Stause has become a familiar presence in Australia.
The American reality star made the lengthy trip from Los Angeles on numerous occasions to attend major events with G Flip, including the ARIA Awards, while also supporting their performances across the country.
Stause also established a professional foothold in Australia, taking on hosting duties for the reunion special of the dating series Love Triangle, which aired on Stan in 2025.
That streaming role gave Stause another connection to the country, where G Flip has continued developing their music career.
Although the pair appeared stronger than ever just days before their split, sources said Stause made significant efforts to find time with G Flip around the musician’s packed touring schedule

“Chrishell really embraced Australia because it was such a huge part of G’s life. She wasn’t just flying in for the odd holiday,” the insider said.
‘She was coming over for shows, awards nights and spending time with G whenever she could.
‘Chrishell even started taking on work here, like the Love Triangle reunion. She was making a real effort to build a life that worked for both of them, even though her own career was based in America.’
Despite the demands of their respective careers, there had been little indication publicly that anything was wrong.
The couple appeared loved-up in a recent social media video as they prepared for a date night, giving fans every reason to believe their romance was still going strong.
The footage has since taken on a heartbreaking turn following Chrishell’s tearful announcement.
‘That’s why it’s come as such a shock. They were still going on dates and looking happy together. From the outside, there was nothing to suggest they were about to call it quits.’
‘Chrishell always seemed completely devoted to G. She was so proud of everything they were achieving and genuinely loved being part of their world. Nobody expected things to end like this.’

The timing of the break-up is particularly surprising given Chrishell had also recently spoken about moving on from another major chapter of her life.
Last Thursday, the reality star revealed she had no plans to watch the upcoming tenth season of Selling Sunset after leaving the hit Netflix series following nine seasons.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at its Creator A-List Party, Chrishell insisted she held no ill will towards the show that made her a household name.
‘And I don’t mean that in a bad way,’ she said.
‘I hope they have an amazing season. I’ll have lawyers let me know if there’s defamation, but I feel like, to be honest with you, if you love something, let it go.’
Chrishell broke down in tears in an emotional Instagram video on Monday, telling followers she and G Flip had separated.
‘I have a pretty humbling update to share with you guys,’ she began.
‘G and I are no longer together, and we have agreed to treat this public separation with love and respect for each other. That’s not hard for me because I am in love with this person.’

Perhaps most tellingly, Chrishell admitted she did not have ‘all the information or the reasons’ behind the break-up, suggesting she was still trying to make sense of what had happened.
The reality star also confessed she felt ‘a little bit of a failure’ as she struggled to hold back tears.
‘There’s nothing you could say about me that would be worse than what I say to myself,’ she said.
‘I just have to kind of heal and figure this out. It’s hard. It’s painful.’
Despite her heartbreak, Chrishell made it clear her feelings for the Aussie performer had not changed.
‘I will always love G, and I don’t ever really see that changing,’ she said.
G Flip, who uses they/them pronouns, later confirmed the separation in a statement of their own.
‘I will always love her, we will always share a special connection and I cherish our memories together deeply,’ the musician wrote.
The pair first went public with their romance in May 2022, before exchanging vows in an intimate, non-legally binding ceremony in Las Vegas in 2023

They later celebrated their relationship with further ceremonies in Australia and Los Angeles.
Throughout their romance, the couple had also been open about their hopes of starting a family, with Chrishell previously discussing their IVF journey and desire to become parents.
Stause was previously married to This Is Us alum Justin Hartley, but their bitter divorce was finalised in 2021 after nearly two years of wedded bliss.
The breakup comes as G Flip prepares for another busy stretch of Australian performances, including an appearance in Margaret River on October 31 and support slots on Robbie Williams’ upcoming stadium tour.
