Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause confirm split
Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause have confirmed they have split.
The 'Selling Sunset' stars have both taken to social media to reveal they have gone their separate ways, five months after confirming they were in a relationship, and the 40-year-old actress admitted her and Jason's "ideas for family" were "ultimately not aligned".
Chrishell wrote on Instagram: "I have tried to embrace the world I have found myself in and that includes being open and honest about my relationships.
"It felt scary and terrifying knowing that it may not end in what society deems a success and what I am ultimately looking for. But after many long heartfelt talks, I am choosing to see it as a success no matter what label is attached to it publicly.
"Jason was and is my best friend, and other than our ideas for family ultimately not being aligned, the amount of respect and love we have for each other will not change going forward"
Jason also took to his Instagram to pay tribute to Chrishell, and admitted they have "different wants regarding a family", but have the "utmost respect for one another".
He wrote: "While Chrishell and I are no longer together, we remain best friends and we will always love and support one another. She was the most amazing girlfriend I’ve ever had, and it was the happiest and most fulfilling relationship of my life.
"While we have different wants regarding a family, we continue to have the utmost respect for one another.
"Chrishell is an exceptional human being and loving her and having her in my life is one of the best things that has ever happened to me."
Jason - who owns the Los Angeles real estate firm Oppenheim Group - and Chrishell confirmed they were dating back in July, and she later revealed they had embarked on their romance a couple of months earlier.
Chrishell explained she and 44-year-old Jason had been "really private and secretive for as long as we could until we realised the walls were closing in".
She added: "People were getting a little savvy to it."
Jason also admitted their friendship had "developed into an amazing relationship".
He added: "I care about her deeply and we are very happy together."
