Selling Sunset reunion: Jason breaks down in TEARS over Chrishell split 😭
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS!
Last updated 6th May 2022
Following all of the drama from series five of hit Netflix show Selling Sunset, we weren't sure if the first of its kind reunion show would be able to live up to the main show, but as it landed it on Friday 6th May, it was everything and MORE!
⚠️WARNING: This article contains major reunion show spoilers ⚠️
As host Tan France sat down with Maya Vander, Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae El Moussa, Davina Potratz, Emma Hernan, Vanessa Villela, and Chelsea Lazkani, Chrishell Stause and Jason and Brett Oppenheim, the cast didn't shy away from tough questions.
As well as the group discussing the drama caused by Christine Quinn, who wasn't in attendance for the reunion, fans were left in tears as Tan France got Chrishell and Jason to open up about their break up.
As documented on series five, Chrishell and Jason hooked up and started dating back in 2021, with the pair looking totally smitten and coming to terms with the idea of starting a family together.
However, in the final episode of series five, Chrishell broke down to Emma, revealing Jason had confessed he didn't want children, leading the pair to break up.
And despite a lot of fans thinking their romance was all for show, the raw emotion from the two during the reunion show was clear for all fans to see their relationship was 100% real.
When asked about the break up, 45-year-old Jason choked up and started crying, before admitting he still loved Chrishell.
He said: "There's a lot of sadness and loss. I think watching the show made it more difficult. It brought it all back up. It's been a few months, but I'm still just going through stuff. There was a lot of love between us and there still is. I still care about her very much. This has been a very difficult break-up.
"I could never think more highly of Chrishell, she was an amazing girlfriend, I think that she will be an amazing mum. It's not that I think that I made the wrong decision, it's just that I had a lot of respect, and still do for Chrishell, and I still have as much love for her today as I did then", Jason added before he got emotional again.
As the rest of the cast shed a tear over the situation, Chrishell said: "I actually came into today feeling really strong and confident about where we were with our friendship, but obviously Jason is not one to show emotion very often, so that just completely caught me off guard, so it makes it very difficult when you still have feelings there. It's easier to get over someone when they p-ss you off, so in this case it's just been a little more tough."
Tan France goes on to show a previously unseen clip of Jason telling ex-girlfriend and Oppenheim Group manager Mary that the pair had split.
In the clip, an emotional Jason says to Mary: "I went into this hoping that I would decide to have a baby with Chrishell, I felt it was more likely than not to have a kid because the relationship is perfect.
"The more that I thought about it, I went in the other direction."
When Mary asked why Jason felt like that, he said: "This is not the time in my life that I want to have a family", before getting upset on Mary's sofa.
Clearly devastated about Jason's decision, Mary tells him: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for both of you. I thought you guys really had a really good chance. She's going to be the one that got away."
Agreeing with Mary's words, Jason adds: "The love of my life. And now I have to deal with probably watching her be happy with someone else and a family, and I'm probably never going to meet someone like her again. So, it f---ing sucks."
After seeing the raw emotion between the pair and hearing both Mary and Jason's twin brother Brett bigging up their romance, Tan France asked the question to Chrishell we were all thinking.... "Is there a world where we could see you two get back together, is that unreasonable to ask?"
Tan France later says to Chrishell: "If Jason were to say 'I do want kids I've changed my mind', would you consider getting back together?"
A clearly choked up Chrishell responds: "I don't exactly know how to answer that, but because I just know that he's set on his decision, I've not allowed my brain to go there, so if that were to change, I don't know. Because I'm not sure."
Well, later on in the reunion episode, Chrishell left fans in shock when she revealed she's now 'dating' G Flip, who is a non-binary singer from Australia, after the pair met when Chrishell starred in their new music video.
Now check out all of the facts you didn't know about Selling Sunset:
1. The Oppenheim Group actually has 17 agents
Although Mary, Chrishell, Davina, Maya, Heather, Emma, Nicole, Bre, Amanza and Chelsea all feature as real estate agents on the show, there's actually four other agents at the business - these are Peter Cornell, Alice Kwan, Omar Abaza, Alexander Huerta, Romi Jordan Mouillon, Kane Lim, and Minoo Malek.
2. Romain used to be a pastry chef
French model Romain Bonnett, who married Mary Fitzgerald on season 2 of Selling Sunset, actually used to work as a pastry chef!
Back in 2019, he wrote on Instagram: 'Since so many asked me if it was true that I was a pastry chef, here is some of the pasty I used to make. YES IT WAS TRUE !!! 😜😬'. (sic)
3. Selling Sunset is created by the same man who created The Hills
Yes, that's right! The Hills producer Adam DiVello is the creator of Selling Sunset - that guy certainly knows how to make great TV!
4. Jason once had Orlando Bloom's house on his books
The Oppenheim Group's President Jason Oppenheim has worked with some major stars over the years! Not only has he sold houses for the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Lea Black, he was also selling Orlando Bloom's house!
He told us in 2019: "My favourite guy that I worked with is Orlando Bloom. But that's why I'm selling his house right now because he's going to be a dad. So families and marriages are good for real estate."
5. Mary has a son called Austin Babbitt
Selling Sunset fans met Mary Fitzgerald's son during season 2 of the show in 2020, when Austin walked his mum down the aisle for her wedding to Romain.
6. Chrishell was once engaged to Matthew Morrison
Before marrying (and then divorcing) American actor Justin Hartley, Chrishell Stause was once engaged to Glee star Matthew Morrison.
The couple first met way back in 2006, with a proposal coming just months later. However, things didn't work out and the pair called time on their romance in December 2007.
7. Heather is now married with a baby
After announcing her new romance with Tarek El Moussa during season 2 of Selling Sunset, just weeks before season 3 hit Netflix, Heather Young announced Tarek had popped the question to her!
In October 2021, the pair tied the knot at a luxury ceremony surrounded by their friends and family, including Heather's Selling Sunset co-stars, with footage being shown in series 5.
Heather and Tarek then welcomed a baby boy called Tristan in January 2023.
8. Christine didn't meet her husband by selling him a house
Although season 2 of Selling Sunset seemed to document that Christine Quinn met her husband Christian Richard whilst selling him a house, it turns out the pair actually met through mutual friends.
During an interview on This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, she said: "Well actually, that was amped up a little, I'm not going to lie. I actually met him through a girlfriend of mine, but Mary spun this story that he was a client.
"We were dating for three months and then we bought a house together, but television is fun."
9. Chrishell wasn't part of The Oppenheim Group before Selling Sunset
She's a valued member of the team now, but Chrishell Stause actually only joined the real estate agency when she was signed to appear on the show.
Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello said at the time: "She really is a realtor and has a real estate license selling homes when we met her.
"I think we were lucky to get her, I think she adds something that is very unique to Los Angeles, and we're doing a show about realtors in Los Angeles. The fact that we have one who's an actress and happens to be married to an actor who's on a very successful TV series is a plus."
10. Mary actually sold a house on her wedding day
As viewers witnessed in season 2, Mary Fitzgerald doesn't stop work for anything... Even her own wedding!
Whilst getting her hair and make-up applied on her big day, Mary took time out to show round a buyer of the stunning house she was using for her venue.
She later told People magazine: "I end up selling my wedding venue on my wedding day, which was amazing. I paused the wedding and sold it in the middle of getting ready.
"Everyone thought I was out of my mind, but I told the seller when he allowed me to book it for the wedding venue that I won't let the wedding planning or doing it there get in the way of selling it!"
11. The Oppenheim Group now have a Newport Beach office and it's got a spin-off show
At the start of January 2021, Jason Oppenheim confirmed the group have now opened a office in Newport Beach.
In a post on Instagram, he said: 'I'm very proud and excited to announce our new Oppenheim Group office in Newport Beach!! After many years of contemplation, my love for Newport Beach and its exciting real estate opportunities have convinced me to go for it! And if you're going to go, go big, so I found a 4,000 sq. ft. former bank and we are renovating it now - it's going to be the coolest office anywhere, with a full bar, living room, dining area, arcade, pool table, gym, showers, kitchen, vault with whiskey/wine, coffee bar, walls of contemporary art, books, and vintage boom boxes, and who knows, maybe even some desks! Give me a few weeks and I'll post the interior photos 😀'.
It was then confirmed in November 2021 that Selling Sunset will be getting a spin-off show for the new office, called Selling The O.C. - this then aired in August 2022.
Other spin-off shows including Selling Tampa.
12. Emma Hernan once qualified for the Olympics
In series 5, Emma casually dropped the fact she'd once swam a time that would have qualified her for the Olympics! However, she gave up swimming when she was 16 to focus on modelling.
13. The cast pay for their own hair, makeup and wardrobe
You've probably noticed the Selling Sunset girls always look absolutely flawless, dripped head-to-toe in designer gear, but Netflix don't actually pay for any of this!
14. Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn used to be friends
Despite their now on-going feud, Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn actually used to be friends - this was until producers pitted them against each other.
Christine once said: "They wanted us to clash obviously and at first, we didn't. We got along great. We were friends. She was at my house. We were drinking, having a good time. I was getting to know her and the storylines came into play. We thought that we were good at separating things."
The tell-all reunion show of Selling Sunset is available to watch on Netflix now.
BRB, just going to sob over Chrishell and Jason again! 😭
