Series five of Selling Sunset dropped on Netflix on April 22. And the Internet has been divided on the cast members.
Between showing and selling houses, the agents of the The Oppenheim Group have bought plenty of drama and shifting friendships – mostly between Christine Quinn and the rest of the girls, with bubbling tension and catty comments keeping viewers glued to the screen. This season also follows the relationship between Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause and the arrival of Chelsea Lazkani, who is currently BFFs with Christine.
The reality show has proven to be a hit with viewers, at one point reaching the number 3 spot for Netflix shows globally. The tea was hot this season and it closed with many cliffhangers for the cast members, so if you already binged all 10 episodes of the fifth season and can't wait for the sixth, here's who to follow to keep up with the lives of the cast members.
Chrishell Stause
Instagram handle: @chrishell.stause
Kentucky born actress and realtor Chrishell Stause joined The Oppenheim Group in 2018, a while after she got her realtor licence. Upon joining the group, Chrishell immediately clashed with Christine, who was frosty towards this new arrival.
In July 2021, Chrishell first posted about a relationship with Jason Oppenheim, co-owner of the Oppenheim Group, to her Instagram in July 2021 while the group were in Italy. No one saw it coming, but welcomed it with open arms when they saw how happy they were.
In the final episode of series 5, however, the relationship came crashing to an end. They broke up because notorious bachelor Jason Oppenheim couldn't commit to raising a child with Stause.
Speaking to her co-star Emma Hernan, Stause said: “He just told me he doesn't wanna have a kid. And as much as this hurts me to say, I've been clear with him what that would mean, so we are done. We broke up.”
On April 25 she posted to her Instagram story revealing she was on her way to film the Selling Sunset reunion episode, later saying she feels like she was 'spat out by a tornado'. She continues to post about the show as @chrishell.stause, where she has 3.2 million followers. She also shares snaps with her Selling Sunset bestie Emma Hernan, and make-up and fashion looks.
Christine Quinn
Instagram handle: @ thechristinequinn
Love her or hate her, Texas-born realtor Quinn makes an incredibly entertaining reality TV villain. She has fought with pretty much every female member of the Oppenheim group and is known for making some shady comments on social media and in the press.
It's never a dull moment with Quinn, and if you want to keep up with her antics you can join the three million people who follow her on Instagram. Quinn is known for serving outrageous looks (her French fry bag was a highlight of Season 5) and is always posting her best ones to Instagram.
You'll also see some promo for her new book, How to be a Boss B*tch and some occasional snaps of her husband, Christine Richard, and their son. Series 5 ended with an explosive revelation: that she tried to bribe a client to work with her rather than Emma Hernan. She's since left the office, and on April 23, Quinn revealed that she and her husband are launching a new realtor company, called RealOpen.com.
Mary Fitzgerald
Instagram handle: @ themaryfitzgerald
Mary Fitzgerald was given a huge promotion this season when close friend Jason made her a managing partner, giving her boss status while the twins are away. She had her work cut out for her trying to unite the agents who couldn't stop bickering every time they came face to face with Christine.
Follow her on Instagram for some behind the scenes pics and videos from Selling Sunset and snaps of her private life with husband Romaine and work BFFS Emma and Chrishelle.
Romain Bonnet
Instagram handle: @ theromainbonnet
Mary Fitzgerald's hubby Romain Bonnet is a regular on Selling Sunset. The pastry chef turned model took to Instagram to thank fans for their “sweet and supportive messages” for season five. He remains close to the cast members, regularly posting snaps of his time with them, as well as workout videos and cute pics with his beau.
Emma Hernan

As well as being a luxury real estate agent for the Oppenheim Group, Emma Hernan runs a vegan empanada business. You can find her posting about her latest listings, broker opens and pics of time spent with real estate besties Mary and Chrishell.
Heather Rae El Moussa
Instagram handle: @ heatherraeyoung .
Heather Rae El Moussa (previously Heather Rae Young) took a step away from luxury real estate this season when she tied the knot with husband Tarek in October 2021. Quinn wasn't invited to the wedding given her previous antics, which caused a lot of tension during the series.
Away from the show's drama, family is her priority right now, which is blindly obvious when you check out her Instagram. Most of her wedding was left out of the show, but Heather Rae shared some inside details to her Instagram account, including the vows she wrote for Tarek's children.
Chelsea Lazkani
Instagram handle: @chelsealazkani
London-born Chelsea Lazkani is the newest member of the Oppenheim Group, earning her place after bagging a buyer for a multi-million dollar property. Straight talking Lazkani gets on well with Quinn, but didn't want this to affect her career and how she gets on at the Oppenheim group and made that clear to everyone who was wary about her arrival.
Lazkani originally came to L.A for a visit, but she met her husband on a dating app and never left. The pair got married in 2017 and had two children together: her son Maddox, and daughter, Melia.
Lazkani recently posted beautiful photos of her family, which has blown up to over 80 thousand followers since her arrival on the show.
Amanza Smith
Instagram handle: @ amazasmith
Throughout series five, we didn't get to see Amanza selling a single house. Instead, the Selling Sunset OG and designer helped 'stage' some houses for other agents, and talked about her experience as a single mother juggling work and raising children. She's well connected with the Oppenheim Group, being the first agent to meet twin bosses Jason and Brett and becoming very close to the girls.
Vanessa Villela
Instagram handle: @ vannevillela
Vanessa is still relatively new to the Oppenheim Group, after joining Selling Sunset in Season 4. In this season, we watch her trying to find her feet as she becomes unhappy with her life in LA the more she falls in love with new boyfriend, Nicholas Hardy.
In a past life, Villela starred in Mexican telenovelas, like her co-star Chrishell. Hardy gave Villela a promise ring in season five and since the cameras stopped rolling on this season that has grown into a proposal.
Posting about the proposal on Instagram, Villela wrote that Hardy is the “man of her dreams”. She continued: “I can't believe I manifested you, the man that is what I always dreamt and more, I can't believe I am living this life… You paint the stars in my heart and even when I think it can't be possible to be better there you go painting more stars in it.”
Nicholas Hardy
Instagram handle: @ tomfraud
Villela's future hubby Nicholas Hardy calls himself Tom Fraud on Instagram. He's a photographer, and chose his alias because, according to his website, “Fraud stands for the idea of going against the tide, doing your own thing, and doing it your own way.”
He clearly dotes on Villela, making her his profile picture and regularly posting pictures of her to his Instagram page.
Davina Potratz
Instagram handle: @ davinapotratz
Davina didn't have a good time this season. She had to hear that Quinn had told Amanza that Potratz cares about being liked and accepted, she came to blows with Chelsea Lazkani and stumbled over hurdles at work (that $75 million house is still on the market).
On Instagram, Potratz posts BTS snippets from Selling Sunset and outfit pictures.
Jason Oppenheim
Instagram handle: @ jasonoppenheim
The Oppenheim Group is owned by twins Brett and Jason. To his Instagram, Jason posts plenty of promo for Selling Sunset, new listings of outrageous houses in the Bay Area and, of course, his pampered pooches.
He posted a heartfelt message posted a heartfelt message to his Instagram after his break up with Chrishell became public, saying they are still best friends, that their relationship was “the most fulfilling relationship of my life” and that Chrishell is “an exceptional human being and loving her an having her in my life is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
Brett Oppenheim
Instagram handle: @ brettoppenheim
Twins and business partners Brett and Jason are practically joined at the hip. They do so much together, and, weirdly enough, they both friend-zoned their exes on the same day.
Posting to to his Instagram, Brett said ex-girlfriend Tina is the “most genuine, loving, beautiful woman I have ever dreamed of” and says he will always “love her and be her friend.”
