Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim is said to be happy for ex-girlfriend Chrishell Stause after she moved on to start dating Australian rapper G Flip.
The 45-year-old businessman – who co-owns US estate agency firm The Oppenheim Group with his twin brother Brett – split from 40-year-old Chrishell last December after five months of intensive dating.
Fans have been surprised to see Chrishell move on to being dating 27-year-old Australian musician G Flip – whose real name is Georgia Flipo and who is non-binary, using they/them pronouns.
But Jason is far from bitter over the fact that Chrishell has moved on from him relatively swiftly – with the reality star herself confirming her new romance on the recent Selling Sunset reunion special episode.
A source close to Jason told Entertainment Tonight: “Their breakup was very painful for Jason and he doesn't even like to talk about it.
“He's not mad at Chrishell and he is happy for her from a friend standpoint, but he is just really hurt.
"He has been feeling upset since they broke up, and that's how he still feels."
The source went on to address the factor that brought about the end of Jason and Chrishell’s romance – namely the fact he was unwilling to settle down and start a family with her.
The source said: "Chrishell wants to have kids much sooner than Jason does. She is really interested in starting a family and that's not something that is on Jason's mind right now.
“Chrishell felt like she had to get serious with herself and break her own heart by ending her relationship with Jason because having kids is a main priority for her. She doesn't want to wait or be on Jason's timeline."
Chrishell discussed the break-up during the reunion special.
She said: "I had this serious relationship and obviously I am hoping to have a family, but I've also taken some of the pressure off myself as far as what that looks like.
"I don’t necessarily have to have the child myself. I'm open to adoption – things like that."
She also went on to discuss her new relationship, saying: "You don’t get to choose where you meet someone. You don’t get to choose when you meet someone in their life. Recently I’ve met someone that is in a different place in their life as well.
“I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that’s very important to me. Their name is G Flip. They’re non-binary so they go by they/them and they are an extremely talented musician."
Meanwhile, in a recent chat with new! magazine, Jason hinted it will be some time yet before he is finally over Chrishell.
He told the magazine: “I’m still working through a lot of emotion and pain and sadness. I think that could take a while.”
He continued: “Obviously I was completely in love and still love her. That was the most real relationship I’ve ever had. I will always have unbelievable love and respect for Chrishell. I hold her in the highest regard.”
