G Flip Shares Why Selling Sunset Feels Uncomfortable for Them
In a recent exclusive interview, G Flip, the partner of reality TV star Chrishell Stause, opened up about their experience with the popular Netflix series “Selling Sunset.” G Flip, who has been a supportive figure in Stause’s life, expressed that participating in reality television can be quite uncomfortable for them. G Flip, 31, candidly shared, “We’ve never thought about [starring on a reality show together]. I don’t think that’s something we want to do right now, but maybe down the road.” They explained that the nature of reality TV is often unnatural, making it challenging to engage authentically. “It’s not natural, and you don’t find it natural. Chrishell and everyone on Selling Sunset are such guns at it. But for me, sitting in a room and being asked to have a normal conversation while there are eight cameras around and lighting, I found it really, really tough.” The couple has been navigating their relationship in the public eye since Stause’s split from Jason Oppenheim in late 2021, and their romance was highlighted in the fifth season of “Selling Sunset.” However, G Flip emphasized that any potential show featuring them would need to feel more comfortable and genuine. “I would want to make sure it didn’t feel so tough to be myself because I’ve got to feel comfortable to then put my life and me and Chrishell’s love and our story out there,” they explained. “Selling Sunset,” which premiered in 2019, follows the lives of agents at the Oppenheim Group, showcasing not only luxurious properties but also the interpersonal drama among cast members. Stause has been a mainstay on the show since its inception, and G Flip noted the emotional toll it takes on her. “She comes home and then I’m always there to lift her spirits back up because she’ll come home and be like, ‘Oh my God, you’re not going to believe what’s happened,’” G Flip recalled. “And I’m always there with a shoulder to cry on or to just help her or talk through the situation. It’s a stressful job.” The couple’s love story blossomed publicly after Stause began dating G Flip in 2022, following her breakup with Oppenheim. They surprised fans with their nuptials in May 2023 and have since renewed their vows. G Flip has been a constant source of support for Stause, both personally and professionally. “She hears everything first, of course,” G Flip shared, discussing their upcoming third studio album. “She’ll be like, ‘That one’s good. You need to finish that one, or please can that one go on the album?’ She really fights for songs sometimes.” Fans of “Selling Sunset” have witnessed significant changes in the cast over the years, with many discussing their experiences on and off the show. G Flip’s perspective on reality television adds a new dimension to the ongoing conversation about authenticity in such formats. They highlighted the importance of emotional well-being when sharing their lives with the public, particularly in a high-pressure environment like reality TV. As G Flip prepares to release new music, they fondly recalled Stause’s enthusiastic support during the recording process. “I would hear her like, ‘Woo’ [and] her cheers. She was watching the little screen we had, so she was there, and she was so cute,” G Flip said. “She bought everyone food and drinks, and [she] bought tequila and chicken and chips. She was so great, and her support is always so lovely. She’s such an angel of a human being.” With G Flip’s new album set to drop later this year, fans are eager to see how their evolving relationship and individual careers develop. The couple continues to inspire many with their love story, navigating the complexities of public life while supporting each other through personal and professional challenges. As G Flip prepares for the future, they remain focused on creating music that resonates with both their audience and their relationship with Stause. With a strong foundation built on love and mutual support, the couple is poised to tackle whatever comes next—whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes.
