Chrishell Stause and G Flip breakup: who ended it, their marriage status and what we know a day later

A day after Chrishell Stause and G Flip announced their split, new reporting points to who made the call. According to TMZ, citing sources close to the situation, it was G Flip who decided to end the four-year relationship. Neither Stause nor G Flip has publicly confirmed that detail.

The Selling Sunset alum and the Australian musician shared the news in separate Instagram posts on Monday, Oct. 26.

Who ended the relationship?

TMZ reported that G Flip “was the one who pulled the plug” on the romance. That fits with what Stause said in her own video. She told followers she doesn’t “have all the information or the reasons,” which TV Insider read as a sign that G Flip initiated the breakup.

G Flip’s written statement didn’t address the question. They said their “head & heart are feeling very heavy,” that they weren’t able to talk yet, and asked fans to respect their privacy.

Were Chrishell and G Flip legally married?

This is one point where reports don’t line up neatly:

Earlier coverage described the 2023 Las Vegas event as a wedding, while some outlets called it symbolic. TMZ’s report that they were never legally married would mean there may be no divorce process at all, but neither Stause nor G Flip has addressed it. TV Insider also gave a different timeline for the ceremony than other outlets, another reason to treat the exact dates with caution.

What Chrishell Stause said about healing

Beyond the lines quoted widely on Monday, Stause spoke at length about how she is processing the split, according to TV Insider:

“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 she is sure she will heal with time, and that she chose a video because fans “deserved a little bit more than a cold written statement.” She also framed the relationship in a more hopeful light: it was “just coming to terms with it being a different ending than you had imagined.”

Plans for a family

The split also closes a chapter the couple had talked about publicly. TV Insider recalled that Stause told Us Weekly in April 2025, “We are actively trying [to have kids].” Neither partner has spoken about that since the breakup.

Stause’s earlier marriage

This is not Stause’s first high-profile split. She was married to actor Justin Hartley from 2017 until their breakup in 2019, and their divorce was finalized in 2021, TV Insider noted. In her video, Stause said she felt “like a little bit of a failure,” a comment many fans responded to with support.

What we still don’t know

• The reason: Neither has given one, and Stause said she doesn’t know it fully herself.
• Legal steps: No divorce or separation filing has been reported.
• Public appearances: There is no word on whether either will discuss the split further, on Selling Sunset or elsewhere.

Why it drew so much attention

Stause is one of Netflix’s best-known reality stars, and the couple were among the most visible LGBTQ+ pairs in entertainment. Her emotional, unscripted video made the announcement feel personal, which helped the story spread quickly on Monday.
