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.

‘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.

‘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.’

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.’

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Stause and G Flip for comment.

Long before Bruce Blakeman emerged as New York’s gubernatorial candidate for change, the future Nassau County executive was a college student assigned to drive Nancy Reagan.

Blakeman’s first serious political role came as a volunteer on Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, a position that unexpectedly brought him close to the fiercely protective woman who would soon become first lady.

“She liked and trusted me,” Blakeman told The Post in a recent interview. “She was worried about her husband’s safety. She was very, very protective of her Ronnie.”

Driving “Fancy Nancy” to fundraisers was hardly glamorous, but the assignment taught Blakeman the importance of loyalty, discretion and political access. It also hinted at a lifelong pull toward the spotlight.

“I got involved in politics at age 7. On Halloween, I went door-to-door with two bags — one to collect candy and another to give out literature for my dad’s campaign,” he said.

“People loved it,” he recalled, “when homeowners saw a boy volunteering for his dad’s campaign instead of just getting treats.”

Now 71, the longtime public servant is pursuing New York’s highest office, hoping to become the state’s first Republican governor in more than two decades on November 3.

Blakeman is widely viewed as the underdog in his effort to unseat incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. But taking on long odds is familiar territory for the risk-taker.

Three years after winning a seat on the Hempstead Town Board in 1993, the Long Island native made another bold move. Rather than seek re-election, he ran for the newly created Nassau County Legislature in a district drawn for a Democrat.

He won the race and went on to become the Legislature’s first presiding officer.

“I took a risk,” he said. “I was up for re-election [for the Hempstead Board]. Instead, I ran for the Nassau County Legislature in a district drawn for a Democrat and I won.”

It was an early demonstration of Blakeman’s willingness to prove his doubters wrong.

Former US Sen. Alfonse D’Amato, a major force in Nassau County Republican politics who has known Blakeman for 40 years, remembers him as both fearless and intensely driven.

“Bruce was always a hard worker. He never stopped working,” D’Amato said.

“He’s never afraid to take on a project. If you needed him to do something, he did it.”

Politics was part of Blakeman’s upbringing. His father, Robert Blakeman, served as a Republican state assemblyman in the 1960s.

“My father was ‘Mr. Valley Stream,’” Bruce Blakeman said of his dad, an influential attorney and World War II veteran whom he called an inspiration and a pillar of the community. Robert Blakeman died in 2018 at age 92.

The elder Blakeman loved drafting and debating legislation, but he had little interest in the handshaking and street campaigning that came with elections. His son, by contrast, thrives on knocking on doors and meeting voters face-to-face.

Blakeman attributes his outgoing personality to his mother, Betty, who served in the Women’s Army Corps during World War II.

“My mom was a big personality. Anyone who met my mother remembered her for her strong personality and beauty,” he said. “Her love and compassion continue to guide me in everything I do.”

One of five siblings, Blakeman’s parents instilled in him a strong work ethic and he had jobs during summers as a busboy, janitor, dishwasher and bartender.

As a 12 year old boy, he loved taking the Long Island Rail Road into Manhattan on his own or with his friends.

“We’d roam around the city all day. I was always fascinated by the city,” Blakeman said.

The 6’1″ Blakeman excelled at basketball at Valley Stream High School, where he was a shooting guard and small forward, boasting, “I could play above the rim. I could dunk easily.”

His basketball career ended when he broke his ankle during the first day of practice his senior year and he later went off to college, first to Arizona State University — where he met first wife Nancy Shevell — and then to California Western Law School in San Diego.

“It was exciting to be in different places,” Blakeman said. “But I always gravitated back to New York.”

In his 20s, the young Republican became involved in presidential politics and backed Gerald Ford for re-election in 1976.

But at the GOP convention that year, he said he was inspired by rival Reagan’s speech, and volunteered on his 1980 presidential campaign while still in law school.

Reagan’s campaign assigned Blakeman the sensitive task of serving as the personal driver and assistant for Nancy Reagan, who had many influential friends in New York society, he said.

”Nancy was very kind, very thoughtful. People often underestimated her,” Blakeman recalled, saying he mostly drove her to campaign fundraisers.

After law school, Blakeman returned to New York, worked at his father’s law firm and soon got into Nassau County politics.

But Blakeman had statewide ambitions and even once flirted with running for New York City mayor.

He was the Republican candidate for state comptroller in 1998, but lost to Democratic incumbent Carl McCall. He lost his seat in the Nassau County legislature the following year in a pair of political setbacks.

Three years later, then-Gov. George Pataki, the last Republican to hold statewide office, appointed Blakeman a commissioner to the state Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

It was just months before terrorists hijacked planes and toppled the World Trade Center owned by the PA on Sept. 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people and devastating downtown Manhattan.

Blakeman got to work assisting the city and region’s recovery as a PA commissioner serving on several key committees.

It was personal for Blakeman.

“My nephew, court officer Tommy Jurgens, was murdered while administering first aid in Tower 2. The building fell on him,” he said.

His body was never recovered; only his gun and badge.

Blakeman served on the PA’s World Trade Center and Security committees and was involved in the redevelopment plans for the Freedom Tower and Lower Manhattan.

He also attended many funerals of people killed in the attack.

“I gave eulogies on behalf of the governor. It was a horrible time, a dark time,” Blakeman said.

But Blakeman still had the thirst for political office.

He made unsuccessful runs for the US Senate in 2010 when he lost in a Republican primary and was defeated by Democrat Kathleen Rice in a race for a Long Island congressional seat in 2014.

In his personal life, however, things were more rosy as the divorcé found love a second time with Segal Magori, now a Nassau County Family Court judge, who he married in 2015.

His political career got a boost a few years later when, in 2021, he defeated Democratic incumbent Laura Curran for the Nassau County executive in what many observers viewed as an upset.

“That was a race nobody thought I would win,” Blakeman said.

He won re-election as county executive handily last year and shortly thereafter announced his bid for governor.

Blakeman said his Jewish faith is very important to him, and that he was disgusted with what he claims is antisemitism raging within the ranks of the Democratic Party.

“I have a strong belief in God. You’re more likely to be productive and less likely to get into trouble if you have faith,” he said.

D’Amato said Blakeman’s tenacity and resilience make him formidable.

“He lost a couple of races but he never gave up,” D’Amato said.

Blakeman is still staring down the naysayers.

“People don’t think I can win the race for governor. I’m going to win,” he said.

CHICAGO — With Halloween nearing, Chicago-area families are searching for ways to keep holiday spending under control as candy and costume prices continue to climb.

Claudia Santiago said comparing prices at multiple stores—and checking online—is one way she tries to find better deals.

“I try to go to different stores to see if I could find good values, or even online,” Santiago said.

Robert Smith faced the same challenge while buying candy for the Five Peas in a Pod Halloween Party at Westinghouse High School. He said keeping the purchase within budget has been difficult.

“Eighty five bucks for 10 bags of candy: It’s ridiculous,” Smith said.

Smith said he found more affordable options at Stock ‘n Save in Hermosa, a wholesaler that is open to the public. The store is also getting ready to host its annual free Halloween party for the community on Saturday.

Mo Fattah of Stock ‘n Save said the family-owned business is absorbing higher costs where possible to keep prices as reasonable as it can.

“It’s been tough. Even if the cost on us increases, we try to reduce that as much as we can. But that’s why, you know, thankfully we get a lot of customers here,” he said.

Ian McKellen was among the stars paying tribute to Patrick Stewart on Thursday, honoring his beloved friend one day after the legendary stage and screen actor died at the age of 86.

McKellen, 87, reflected on the pair’s friendship of more than five decades and admitted that he once gave Stewart misguided advice about accepting the Star Trek role that would transform him into an international star.

McKellen would later follow Stewart into the X-Men franchise, joining him in the 2000 film. He went on to achieve worldwide fame of his own as Gandalf in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

McKellen honored his late friend by sharing a stately photo on Instagram of Stewart looking refined in academic robes at the University of Huddersfield.

“Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt,” McKellen wrote. “Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.”

The X-Men star remembered first meeting Stewart as an “ambitious young actor” while both were working with the Royal Shakespeare Company “half a century ago,” although they were appearing in separate productions.

McKellen said another defining moment in their relationship came when they met in London and Stewart told him he had been offered “a leading part in Star Trek.”

“But Patrick, think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?” McKellen recalled asking him.

“Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did,” McKellen wrote, noting that Stewart’s decision benefited not only his devoted Trekkies but also film and theater audiences. Stewart used his international fame to lead a run of successful movies, including “X-Men,” while continuing to perform major works by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett in Stratford-upon-Avon, London’s West End and on Broadway.

McKellen described the United States as Stewart’s “adopted home,” where he met his beloved wife, Sunny, who cared for him “through sickness and health, through thick and thin.”

Even after settling in America, however, Stewart remained deeply connected to his roots. McKellen said one of the proudest achievements of “the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic” was being appointed Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield in Yorkshire.

McKellen ended his tribute by pointing out that Stewart’s “farewell performance” in “Avengers: Doomsday” has yet to be seen.

McKellen is also part of the upcoming superhero movie.

After their early work in the theater, McKellen and Stewart reunited onstage later in their careers for several acclaimed productions.

In 2009, they starred in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot in London, and then in 2013 and 2014 they reprised their roles on Broadway. 

The two actors appeared in an acclaimed double production of both Waiting for Godot and Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land.

In 2016, they returned to London’s West End, this time to reprise No Man’s Land on stage. 

In a 2020 interview with Wired, Stewart recalled how his friendship with McKellen deepened when they starred in X-Men at the turn of the century.

‘We had adjoining trailers. On those kind of movies, you spend more time sitting in your trailer than you do in front of the camera. So Ian and I hung out together, drinking tea – and maybe, in the afternoon, something a little stronger – and we got to know one another, and the charm of it was that we found we had so much in common,’ he recalled.

Elsewhere in the interview, Stewart added: ‘I’ll be frank with you – I’m in love with [him]. But then, so is my wife in love with him, too, so that’s all right.’

Stewart and McKellen showed off their friendly affection in public, where they would sometimes kiss on the lips for photographers and fans. 

McKellen went on to officiate Stewart’s wedding with his third wife, Sunny Ozell, in 2013 on the banks of Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

McKellen registered as a minister with the Universal Life Church, which celebrates freedom of religion, in order to officiate the ceremony.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sharply criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Thursday over their positions on Israel, calling their views “wrong” and saying they do not represent congressional Democrats.

Pelosi addressed the issue during an appearance on the “On Brand” podcast after host Donny Deutsch asked how he, as a Jewish man, could continue supporting the Democratic Party while backing politicians whose remarks he viewed as antisemitic.

“When you say Israel doesn’t have the right to be a Jewish state, that’s antisemitic as far as I’m concerned with all that,” Deutsch said.

After Pelosi asked whom he was referring to, Deutsch cited Mamdani and El-Sayed, describing their comments as “concerning.”

“No, it’s more than concerning,” Pelosi replied. “It’s wrong. It’s wrong. And it isn’t a reflection of the Democrats in the Congress of the United States. This new person in Michigan, we’ll see if he gets elected to the Congress.

“But the mayor, bless his heart, I hope he succeeds as mayor, but I don’t agree with some of the things he has said. But in terms of our people in the House of Representatives, if somebody says that, the other members disassociate themselves from it.”

Mamdani, who was elected New York City mayor after repeatedly avoiding questions about whether Israel should be a Jewish state, offered a more direct answer in a June 28 interview with ABC News. He said he supported Israel as a state providing equal rights but stopped short of endorsing it as a Jewish state.

“I think any state that privileges one religion over the other is one that I can’t tell you I support, whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else,” Mamdani said.

El-Sayed, meanwhile, has also repeatedly declined to affirm that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state.

During a May meeting with Jewish supporters, El-Sayed said he had “struggled” with the question and argued that the concept of a Jewish state appeared inconsistent with the liberal principles “we say we believe in here in the United States.”

Earlier in the podcast interview, Pelosi initially rejected the suggestion that antisemitism was present within the Democratic Party.

“The fact is that I really do not know of anybody there on our side who is engaged in antisemitism. That may be what it appears to be or what they’re charged to be. But if they are, it’s only a few. If there are, I think sometimes they say things that they shouldn’t and can be interpreted that way,” Pelosi said.

Even as she criticized Mamdani and El-Sayed, Pelosi said their statements should not be viewed as representative of the Democratic Party overall.

“People represent their districts, and we have to respect that. The job description, job title is representative, but that doesn’t mean it has an impact on the consensus of the Democratic Party, and [House Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries has been very clear on that,” Pelosi said.

Rabbi Yaakov Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, described Pelosi as one of the Jewish community’s strongest allies among House Democrats. Still, he said it was troubling that she appeared not to recognize antisemitism among some of her colleagues.

“Pelosi claims she wants for those voices to be marginalized within her party, yet she demonstrates that she has turned a deaf ear, both to antisemitic expression from her colleagues and to the rabbis anxious to set her straight on the magnitude of the problem,” Menken told Fox News Digital.

“If she is indeed one of our best friends, should we not be scared by that?”
