Chrishell Stause Announces Split From G Flip in Tearful Video

Abigail Renee Abigail Renee | October 26, 2026 | 3 min read

Chrishell Stause posted a tearful video on October 26 and told her followers that she and G Flip are no longer together. The Selling Sunset star said the pair had agreed to “treat this public separation with love and respect” for each other, according to Cosmopolitan. The split ends a relationship that began at a Halloween party a little less than five years ago.

The Announcement of the Split

Chrishell Stause chose video over a written statement. No carousel, no caption doing the heavy lifting. She spoke directly to camera, and Cosmopolitan described the clip as tearful.

Her wording was careful. The relationship was over, and the separation would be public by necessity, so she framed it around one shared agreement between two people. Love and respect. She did not give a reason for the split, and G Flip’s own response was not part of the announcement.

Cosmopolitan called the breakup unexpected. Their romance had played out almost entirely in public, from Instagram posts to a reality TV reunion stage, which made the ending land harder.

Public couples rarely get to end things quietly. Chrishell went first and set the terms.

A Timeline of Chrishell Stause and G Flip’s Relationship

October 2021 is where it starts. G Flip was performing with Tones and I at a Halloween party, and Chrishell was there as a client and friend of the singer. The two accidentally showed up in matching skeleton costumes.

G later joked about the difference in an interview with Vogue Australia in January 2023. Their thrift-store skeleton cost around $15, they said. Chrishell’s looked like it cost a million dollars.

Two months after that party, in December 2021, Chrishell Stause announced the end of her relationship with Selling Sunset costar Jason Oppenheim. They had dated for seven months. In a since-deleted Instagram post, she called him her best friend and said their ideas for family were not aligned.

March 2022 brought the first public hint. Chrishell posted a selfie with G Flip on Instagram, tucked into the middle of a photo carousel with a caption about pictures from her Stories. Easy to miss. Probably the point.

May 2022 is when it all came out. Page Six obtained photos of the two at a Hollywood lounge. A day later, the Selling Sunset reunion aired, and Chrishell confirmed the romance in front of host Tan France and her castmates. She told the room she had been spending time with someone very important to her, named G Flip, and explained that G is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.

Roughly two months. Chrishell went from a quiet selfie in a carousel to announcing a new partner on a reunion broadcast. Most couples get to figure out what they are before anyone asks. These two answered the question on television.

What Chrishell Said About Moving Forward

Her video kept the forward-looking part to a single commitment. She and G had agreed to handle the separation with love and respect.

Breakup statements usually fall into two camps. Some explain too much and invite the internet to pick a side. Others say almost nothing and leave a vacuum for speculation. Chrishell landed somewhere specific. She named the split plainly, then made a promise about how both people would behave from here.

Mutual respect after a breakup is harder than it sounds. It means neither person gets to tell the dramatic version, even when there is an audience waiting for one. Chrishell Stause has done this before. Her post about Jason Oppenheim in 2021 also leaned on respect and friendship, and stuck to one concrete reason rather than a list of grievances.

Saying it on camera, visibly upset, also matters. A written statement can be drafted by a publicist. A tearful video makes it clear the decision cost something, without anyone having to spell out what went wrong.

Neither Chrishell nor G has said what led to the split. Their relationship began with matching costumes at a party in October 2021 and ended with a video posted on October 26, almost exactly at the same time of year.
