To outsiders, Chrishell Stause and G Flip appeared completely devoted to one another.
The whirlwind relationship between the Selling Sunset star and the Australian musician unfolded in full public view. They frequently celebrated their romance, shared affectionate moments on red carpets and even had the vows from their unofficial wedding ceremony permanently tattooed on their bodies.
An insider told Our News Outlet that the relationship “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 insider said. “G Flip was the hero in this story, with Chrishell the trophy.”
But their real-life fairytale has now reached a sudden and painful conclusion.
In a tearful Instagram video posted Tuesday, Stause, 45, confirmed that her four-year relationship with 33-year-old G Flip, whose real name is Georgia Claire Flipo, had ended.
“They began fighting a lot and it really wore G Flip out. G Flip didn’t like the drama,” the insider told Our News Outlet (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 said she felt “like a little bit of a failure” after two failed marriages, referring to 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 continued. “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 years with G Flip as “amazing” while acknowledging that she was now “coming to terms with it being a different ending.”
She also appeared to suggest that the breakup had caught her off guard, telling followers that she did not yet “have all the information or the reasons” for their separation.
However, the insider claimed that trouble had been developing “over a year ago,” with Stause’s alleged demanding behavior contributing to the strain.
“They began fighting a lot and it really wore G Flip out. G Flip didn’t like the drama,” the insider said.
Their romance began almost five years ago after a chance encounter at a Halloween party in Los Angeles, where both had coincidentally 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 had finalized her divorce from Hartley that year and was dating her Selling Sunset co-star Jason Oppenheim, while G Flip, who uses they/them pronouns, was seeing former Bachelorette Brooke Blurton.
By the end of 2021, however, both relationships had ended, and G Flip began a romance with Stause within months.

“They were glowing, they were in love,” said the source. “And they did not want to hide anything” (pictured in 2024)
“Once they started dating, things moved fast,” the source said. “The ‘I love yous’ followed. 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.”
The couple began posting about each other on social media in March 2022. Two months later, Stause confirmed the relationship during the season five reunion of Selling Sunset. The following year, they exchanged vows in a non-legally binding ceremony in Las Vegas and later had those vows tattooed.
“They were glowing, they were in love,” the source said. “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 feelings for Stause were often clear. The singer called her “hot AF” and featured her in the music video for Get Me Outta Here. Stause, meanwhile, regularly praised G Flip’s musical talent and made repeated trips of more than 7,000 miles across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Australia to support her partner.
The pair also spoke openly about their sex life and fertility journey.
The reality star, who split from Oppenheim, 49, over their differing views about having children, said last April that she was “actively trying” to expand their family. G Flip also discussed the difficulties of in vitro fertilization, describing the process as “really sad” and “very grim” in an interview with People in September 2025.
Although they renewed their vows in July of that year, the insider claimed that the relationship began to deteriorate in the months afterward, following Stause’s departure from Selling Sunset after nine seasons.
“Chrishell likes to stay busy and she likes being a star. She thrives on it, she is very good at being a 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?’”
The transition allegedly created further tension between the couple.
“The strain started to show as Chrishell became demanding,” the source claimed. “She is very ambitious. She wanted to be on a big reality TV show after Selling Sunset and felt she deserved that, but it didn’t materialize because Hollywood is tricky.”

The source claimed Stause became clingy and “wanted all of G Flip’s time and attention,” contributing to the tension
G Flip, 33, said they would always love Stause in a statement posted hours after the breakup announcement. The insider added: “There is so much love there, but they just could not find a balance”
The insider said Stause, frustrated by the direction of her career, threw herself into a busy schedule of events.
“She needed the private car, stylist, red carpet, great photos and gift bag. She fell into the trap. She loved staying in the news,” the insider added.
An eyewitness claimed to have seen that behavior at a Beverly Hills rooftop party hosted by Snapchat, saying Stause “had a large entourage around her and was acting very A-list.”
“Very few people could get near her,” the eyewitness said. “She had big movie star energy.”
According to the insider, that lifestyle had begun to frustrate G Flip. The source alleged that Stause became clingy and “wanted all of G Flip’s time and attention.”
“It just became all about Chrishell,” the insider added. “She wanted to be catered to. But G Flip has their own career.”
The couple’s 12-year age gap was also reportedly a source of difficulty.
“G Flip is in their early 30s, and Chrishell is heading toward 50,” the insider said. “An age difference like that can create insecurities, even though Chrishell is still stunningly beautiful.”
Hours after Stause shared her emotional Instagram video, G Flip posted a statement of their own: “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, the love they shared was not enough to keep the relationship together.
“There is so much love there, but they just could not find a balance,” the insider said. “At the end of the day, they are both heartbroken because the fairytale is over. There is no happily ever after.”
