Until season 4 of Selling Sunset dropped, followers of the show weren’t sure if the Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim relationship would be shown. Now we know that the two had been dating while cameras were rolling. Am I the only one trying to read between the lines constantly? The finale party was a trip!
In an interview with Reality Blurb Jason actually said he wasn’t sure where their relationship fell in the show either. Selling Sunset had announced being picked up for two more seasons back in November of 2020. At that time, it was reported they would begin filming in Spring of 2021. Jason shared, “I know that we filmed on camera but I just don’t really know where it falls because I think we were keeping things private for a couple of months.” Jason also described how his ex-girlfriend, Mary Fitzgerald, helped keep his relationship with Chrishell quiet.
“We would have Mary come out with us so it was the three of us so to kind of throw off the scent. Mary was such a trooper in that respect, covering for us,” Jason explained.

Jason was also very clear that his professional relationship with Chrishell was not a deterrent.“I didn’t have concerns about that,” Jason announced. I mean, did we think he would? This guy doesn’t really seem to have any boundaries. “I knew who Chrishell was and I think she knew who I was. We had gotten to know each other as friends pretty well. I don’t know if there’s anyone I could have been more comfortable with in terms of the level of communication and trust and comfort that we had,” Jason continued.
Jason’s account of his relationship with Chrishell sounds like a business relationship to many. I’m a little suspect it’s all for the cameras. Of course, Jason claims that the Oppenheim posse was thrilled to learn about this totally real and genuine romance. “They were extremely supportive,” Jason said. “They [are], great friends, with Chrishell and I so in many ways, it’s just two of their best friends coming out publicly in our relationship.”
