Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause are speaking out about their breakup.
Reports circulated earlier in the day that the two “Selling Sunset” stars had ended their relationship after five months after going public. The two confirmed such reports and addressed the split in separate statements.
Stause shared a sentimental message on Instagram on Tuesday night.
“I have tried to embrace the world I have found myself in and that includes being open and honest about my relationships,” she began. “It felt scary and terrifying knowing that it may not end in what society deems a success and what I am ultimately looking for.”

She continued, explaining that “after many long heartfelt talks,” she has chosen to see her relationship with Oppenheim as successful, “no matter what label is attached to it publicly.”
The soap star then alluded to what led to the split.

Earlier in the evening, Oppenheim, founder of the Oppenheim Group, addressed the breakup in a statement shared on his Instagram story.
For the post, he shared a photo of himself, 44, and Stause, 40, embracing and smiling, writing the statement over the snap.
“While Chrishell and I are no longer together, we remain best friends and we will always love and support one another,” he began. “She was the most amazing girlfriend I’ve ever had, and it was the happiest and most fulfilling relationship of my life.”
