- Chrishell Stause's spouse Australian singer G Flip made their debut on "Selling Sunset" season six.
- Stause surprised her Instagram followers earlier this month by announcing they were married.
- Here's a complete timeline of their relationship, from their first meeting in late 2021 until now.
Following their surprise wedding ceremony earlier this month, Chrishell Stause and spouse G Flip have just reached another major relationship milestone: their reality TV debut.
In season six of "Selling Sunset," which premiered on Netflix on May 19, Stause introduced viewers to her other half for the first time and the two share several scenes together.
Stause — whose exes include "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, Justin Hartley, and her costar and boss, Jason Oppenheim — first met the Australian musician at a Halloween concert in October 2021, and the pair became friends before a party at Stause's Los Angeles home changed everything.
Here's a complete timeline of their relationship.
Stause and G Flip — real name Georgia Flipo — met for the first time at a Halloween concert in October 2021 where they accidentally wore matching costumes
In an interview with Vogue Australia earlier this year, Stause, 41, and 28-year-old G Flip revealed that their first encounter was at a concert held on Halloween weekend in 2021.
While G Flip, who is nonbinary and uses the pronouns they/them, was there as a support act, Stause found herself invited by the concert's headliner, Australian singer Tones and I, who had recently hired her as a realtor.
The pair only met in passing during the evening but made an impression on each other as they had both unintentionally turned up wearing the same costume.
"I was a very DIY, thrift-store skeleton," G Flip told the outlet. "My costume would've cost me all but $15. And Chrishell looked like a million-dollar skeleton."
Four months later, in February 2022, G Flip reached out to Stause as they were looking to buy in Los Angeles. A party at Stause's house led to their first kiss
In the same Vogue Australia interview, the couple recalled their first kiss happened at a party Stause threw at her house to help G Flip make connections and friends in their new city.
"I rocked up to Chrishell's party totally by myself and I forced myself to talk to people and make friends," G Flip recalled.
The night took a very unexpected turn when a date that Stause invited didn't show. "Chrishell got stood up and then we ended up kissing," G Flip added.
The "Selling Sunset" star said that she "definitely still thought I was straight at that party" as she had kissed female friends before "but more for the guys' reaction."
She said: "I had no issue doing something like that, but in my head I [didn't think I] could have a meaningful relationship with somebody."
Fans began to speculate that the two were in a relationship after they began leaving flirty comments on each other's photos
Several months before they went public with their romance, eagle-eyed "Selling Sunset" fans began to suspect that Stause and G Flip were more than just friends after noticing the flirtatious comments the two had been leaving on each other's photos.
Writing below a post dated April 27, 2022, in which G Flip called themselves a "gender smoothie," Stause replied in the comments "the most perfect blend" with a heart emoji.
G Flip left several comments on Stause's photos throughout March and April and even featured in a carousel of photos shared by the former soap opera star on March 18, 2022. In the selfie of the two of them, they can be seen smiling while Stause makes a peace sign with her fingers.
"Grateful for every person in these pics," she captioned the post.
In May 2022, Stause confirmed her relationship with G Flip during the "Selling Sunset" reunion episode
When moderator Tan France asked if she was seeing anyone following her split from Jason Oppenheim, Stause said: "I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that's very important to me."
"Their name is G Flip," she continued. "They're non-binary, so they go by they/them and they are an extremely talented musician."
Stause, who was previously married to "This is Us" actor Justin Hartley between 2017 and 2021, told her castmates she was "as surprised as anyone" by the romance.
"I heard people talk about these things and they're like, 'I knew from a young age.' That's not me. I'm just, I'm very open to good energy. I don't know what my future holds," she went on to say. "I know being in this position, we get judged constantly, but at the end of the day, I'm so happy."
A few days later, Stause posted an Instagram video defending her relationship with G Flip to 'confused' fans

Stause shared an Instagram video in which she discussed their relationship, saying she wanted to offer "context because at this point some of you are confused, or worried, or all of the things."
Explaining that G Flip identifies as non-binary, she said: "Everyone is different but for them, they really feel like they are a mix, and they identify on both sides of male, female."
"So that's one of those things I personally find such a beautiful mix. I think it's probably why we did connect on such a deep level so quickly."
"I know some of you won't understand this or agree with this but for me, it is about the person. It is about their heart. Yes, there's that part of you that's, like, what you're attracted to," Stause continued. "But for me, I am attracted to masculine energy. And I don't really care what the physical form is."
"I know this is new for you guys. I understand that it's confusing. But I think it's an act of love to understand that if it's not something that you know of, keeping that curiosity about life and evolving forward," Stause said.
Later the same month, the music video for G Flip's 'Get Me Outta Here,' featuring Stause as their romantic interest, was released
The song's music video features Stause walking around a convenience store in a strapless leather dress before sharing a series of passionate kisses with the musician.
Speaking about the music video on the "Selling Sunset" reunion, Stause described it as a "chaotic love story," adding that she was attracted to the project because of her previous acting roles in "All My Children" and "Days of Our Lives."
"I come from soaps, I love acting," she said. "And with the job that we have, I don't always get to do it. At first, of course, I was like, yes, let's do that."
G Flip, meanwhile, shared in a statement accompanying the release of the video: "It was an incredible shoot with an amazing team, including having Chrishell star in it with me. And, I'm proud to say 80% of the crew on set for the video are queer."
In June 2022, the couple attended the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted, and Stause used her acceptance speech to thank fans for accepting her new romance
Stause and G Flip attended their first awards show together as a couple just a month after making their relationship public.
During the ceremony, Stause was honored with the award for best reality star and used her speech to express gratitude to fans for accepting her new romance.
She told the audience: "Just really quick, I knew about this nomination before I had said anything about my sexuality. I'm not trying to get really deep with you guys, but the fact that this was voted on after means so much to me because I wasn't sure how that was gonna go."
The couple celebrated their first anniversary together in March 2023
Stause and G Flip both commemorated one year of dating by posting sweet Instagram tributes to each other on March 15.
On her Instagram story, Stause shared a photo of G Flip smiling and holding a huge bouquet of red roses in a glass vase.
"❤️🔥 ❤️🔥 ❤️🔥 Our first year is gonna be hard to beat, but here's to trying! I love you babyyyyy 🥰 Happy anniversary @gflip," she wrote alongside the photo.
G Flip returned the favor by sharing a picture of Stause which they captioned: "365 days adoring you ❤️ @chrishellstause."
They also revealed in a TikTok post that they had penned a song for their girlfriend as a gift.
"We started dating 1 year ago today. So I wanted to show her the first song I ever wrote about her. I'm not what you planned. I'll be your man," the singer captioned the video.
