Chrishell Stause announced her split from G Flip in an emotional Instagram video on Monday.
The “Selling Sunset” star, 43, and the Australian musician, 31, have ended their relationship after four years together, Stause confirmed directly to her followers. The Netflix personality appeared visibly shaken as she delivered the news, choosing a video format over what she called a “cold written statement.”
“I’m definitely never doing this anything,” Stause vowed in the clip, her voice breaking at points.
Stause explained that she and her ex-partner “are no longer together” and “have agreed to treat this public separation with love and respect for each other.” The real estate agent turned reality television fixture emphasized that maintaining that respectful tone would not prove difficult on her end.
“That’s not hard for me, because I’m in love with this person,” she continued, adding that she doesn’t “have all the information and the reasons” for the breakup.
The candid admission about the unclear circumstances surrounding the split stood out in a celebrity breakup landscape typically filled with polished, mutual-sounding press releases. Stause leaned into that rawness throughout the message, acknowledging the limits of her own understanding while still addressing the audience she has built across multiple television seasons.
“I’m sure just like always with time you get the lessons you’re meant to get,” she said. “And I know that will happen and I’m gonna heal and everything’s gonna be fine.”
Stause framed the video as something she owed to supporters who had followed her relationship journey from its early days. “I just felt like you guys deserved a little more than a cold written statement because you have been so supportive and so loving,” she shared. “And we really appreciate that. Maybe you could still do that, but it would have to be separately.”
The “maybe you could still do that” reference appeared to nod toward future fan interactions or support, now directed toward each individual rather than the couple as a unit.
Stause was previously married to “This Is Us” actor Justin Hartley, a relationship that played out in part on early seasons of “Selling Sunset” before their 2019 divorce. She began dating G Flip, whose full name is Georgia Flipo, in 2022, and the two married in a private ceremony that same year. The musician, a drummer and singer who uses they/them pronouns, had appeared alongside Stause in various social media posts and at public events during their time together.
The couple’s relationship had frequently drawn attention from fans of the Netflix series, with Stause occasionally sharing glimpses of their domestic life online. G Flip also made appearances in “Selling Sunset” content, further intertwining their public profiles.
Stause’s decision to post a video rather than a statement follows a broader trend of celebrities attempting to control their own narratives directly through social platforms, though her execution carried notably less polish than many such announcements. The tears and fragmented sentences marked a departure from the rehearsed quality that often accompanies Instagram breakup posts.
The reality star did not specify whether the separation was recent or had been ongoing privately, nor did she address any potential legal or logistical steps involved in unwinding the marriage. She closed the video on a note of tentative optimism about her own recovery process.
