To outsiders, Chrishell Stause and G Flip appeared completely swept up in their romance.
The Selling Sunset star and Australian musician shared their relationship openly, speaking glowingly about one another, displaying plenty of affection on red carpets and even having the vows from their unofficial wedding ceremony permanently tattooed on their bodies.
An insider told the Daily Mail that the romance ‘was the stuff of fairytales,’ describing G Flip, who is non-binary, as ‘the Prince Charming to Chrishell’s Cinderella.’
‘It was like G Flip swooped in and saved Chrishell from a life of heartbreak and pain,’ the source said. ‘G Flip was the hero in this story, with Chrishell the trophy.’
Yet their seemingly storybook relationship has ended in a sudden and painful breakup.
Stause, 45, tearfully confirmed in an emotional Instagram video on Tuesday that her four-year relationship with G Flip, 33, whose real name is Georgia Claire Flipo, was over.
‘They began fighting a lot and it really wore G Flip out. G Flip didn’t like the drama,’ the insider told the Daily Mail (pictured in 2023)

‘G and I are no longer together, and we have agreed to treat this public separation with love and respect for each other,’ Stause said. ‘That’s not hard for me because I am in love with this person.’
She also admitted to feeling ‘like a little bit of a failure’ after two marriages ended, including her 2021 divorce from This Is Us actor Justin Hartley.
‘There’s nothing you could say about me that would be worse than what I say to myself, so I just have to kind of heal and figure this out,’ she said. ‘It’s hard. It’s painful. I’m a lover girl. I swing big. I miss, or maybe I don’t miss.’
Stause described her time with G Flip as ‘amazing’ while acknowledging that she is now ‘coming to terms with it being a different ending.’
Her comments also appeared to indicate that the split caught her off guard, as she told followers she did not yet ‘have all the information or the reasons’ for the breakup.
However, an insider told the Daily Mail that tensions had been building ‘over a year ago’ and alleged that Stause’s demanding behavior contributed to the strain.
‘They began fighting a lot and it really wore G Flip out. G Flip didn’t like the drama,’ the source said.
The pair’s relationship began almost five years ago after an unexpected encounter at a Los Angeles Halloween party, where both had arrived dressed as skeletons.
‘They had incredible chemistry right away, which took them both aback,’ the insider said. ‘There was an intense attraction even though Chrishell was over ten years older than G.’
At the time, both were in other relationships. Stause, having finalized her divorce from Hartley that year, was dating her Selling Sunset co-star Jason Oppenheim. G Flip, who uses they/them pronouns, was dating former Bachelorette Brooke Blurton.
By the end of 2021, however, both relationships had ended, and G Flip began dating Stause within months.

‘They were glowing, they were in love,’ said our source. ‘And they did not want to hide anything’ (pictured in 2024)
‘Once they started dating, things went fast,’ said our source. ‘The “I love yous” rolled out. They moved quickly. Chrishell knew how to keep G Flip entertained with plenty of hot sex and luxury vacations, it was a dream for both of them.’
They began sharing photos of each other on social media in March 2022, and in May, Stause confirmed the relationship during the season five reunion of the real estate show Selling Sunset. A year later, they said ‘I do’ in a non-legally binding wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, getting their vows tattooed shortly after.
‘They were glowing, they were in love,’ said the source. ‘And they did not want to hide anything. They were out and proud, and they loved the positive feedback they got from that. They were the toast of the showbiz world.’

G Flip’s infatuation was no secret. The singer gushed over Stause, calling her ‘hot AF’ and casting her in their music video for Get Me Outta Here. A devoted Stause, meanwhile, raved about G Flip’s musical talent and repeatedly traveling more than 7,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean from LA to support her ‘love’ in Australia.
In addition to cheeky references to their sex life, the pair had been transparent about their fertility journey.
The reality star – who split from Oppenheim, 49, because of their differing views on children – said last April that she was ‘actively trying’ to grow their family. G Flip also spoke openly about the challenges of in vitro fertilization (IVF), telling People in September 2025 that it is a ‘really sad’ and ‘very grim’ process.
Despite renewing their vows in July that year, our insider said the relationship began to sour in the months that followed, when Stause left Selling Sunset after nine seasons on the show.
‘Chrishell likes to stay busy and she likes being a star, she thrives on it, and she is a very good celebrity, she works hard at it, and is smart about always looking her best,’ the source said.
‘I think after Chrishell left her show, she felt insecure, like, “What do I do now?”‘
That transition seemingly caused tension between them.
‘The strain started to show as Chrishell became demanding,’ the source said. ‘She is very ambitious. She wanted to be on a big reality TV show after Selling Sunset, she felt she deserved that, but it didn’t materialize because Hollywood is tricky.’

But our source claimed Stause became clingy and ‘wanted all of G Flip’s time and attention’ which caused tensions
G-Flip, 33, said they will always love Stause in a statement hours after Stause broke the news. Our insider added: ‘There is so much love there, but they just could not find a balance’
Reportedly frustrated with her trajectory, Stause kept busy with events.
‘She needed the private car, stylist, red carpet, great photos, gift bag, she fell into the trap. She loved staying in the news,’ the insider added.
One eyewitness caught a glimpse of such behavior at a Beverly Hills rooftop party hosted by Snapchat, claiming that Stause ‘had a large entourage around her and was acting very A-list.’
‘Very few people could get near her,’ they said. ‘She had big movie star energy.’
But according to our insider, this had started to grate on G Flip. The insider claimed Stause became clingy and ‘wanted all of G Flip’s time and attention.’
‘It just became all about Chrishell,’ they added. ‘She wanted to be catered to. But G Flip has their own career.’
Their 12-year age gap is said to have also been a factor in their downfall.
‘G Flip is in her early 30s, and Chrishell is heading toward 50,’ they said. ‘An age difference like that can create insecurities even though Chrishell is still stunningly beautiful.’
Hours after Stause’s tearful Instagram video announcing their split, G Flip posted a written statement of their own to Instagram: ‘After 4+ years Chrishell and I are no longer together. I will always love her, we will always share a special connection and I cherish our memories together deeply.
‘My head & heart are feeling very heavy right now and I’m not able to talk but I want to thank you all for your support and appreciate you respecting our privacy at this difficult time.’
Ultimately love was just not enough to save them.
‘There is so much love there, but they just could not find a balance,’ our insider said. ‘At the end of the day, they are both heartbroken because the fairytale is over. There is no happily ever after.’
