Chrishell Stause and G Flip have split up after four years together, with reports claiming that the reality television star and the Australian musician were never legally married despite holding multiple wedding-themed celebrations.
The Las Vegas Chapel and Subsequent Celebrations
- Stause and G Flip announced their separation on Tuesday after four years together following Stause’s split from Jason Oppenheim.
- Sources told TMZ that no marriage license was ever filed or recorded, meaning formal divorce proceedings will not be required following the breakup.
- The couple staged several non-legally binding ceremonies, starting with a chapel wedding in Las Vegas in May 2023, followed by an Australian ceremony and a medieval-themed castle celebration in Los Angeles.
Tearful Social Media Announcements and Public Reactions
Stause, 45, confirmed the breakup through an emotional video shared on Instagram, telling followers that she felt like a little bit of a failure
and was working through the pain of a different ending than anticipated, according to Nine.com.au. The Selling Sunset star added that she did not have all the information or reasons
for the split while emphasizing that she still loved G Flip and did not foresee that changing. G Flip, 33, whose real name is Georgia Claire Flipo, subsequently posted a statement on Instagram acknowledging that their head and heart felt heavy and asking for privacy during the difficult transition. Stause began her announcement by stating, I have a pretty humbling update to share with you guys.

The relationship drew widespread attention across reality television and the queer community, with outlets like The Guardian noting how the romance served as a prominent queer success story following Stause’s public split from Justin Hartley. Stause became part of Australia, endearing herself by traveling to various locations where G Flip’s music took the pair, such as Wollongong. Throughout their time together, the couple faced public scrutiny and homophobic hate while documenting their journey, which included traveling extensively and undergoing IVF treatments in hopes of starting a family.
The Legal Realities Behind the Ceremonies
Despite G Flip frequently referring to Stause as wife
and sharing imagery from their annual vow renewals, the lack of official paperwork means the dissolution of the relationship avoids courtroom litigation. Stause previously addressed the unorthodox nature of their unions in a 2023 radio interview, stating, It doesn’t matter what we do for the rest of our lives, we’re going to hear criticism, so we decided we are always just going to do exactly what we want to do and I’m not out here to try and prove people how serious or meaningful it was.
| Ceremony Event | Location | Year | Legal Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Chapel Vows | Las Vegas, Nevada | 2023 | Non-binding (No license filed) |
| Medieval Castle Event | Los Angeles, California | 2025 | Non-binding celebration |
Sources indicated to TMZ that while the pair had discussed making the marriage official at a later date, the legal paperwork never materialized prior to the split. Stause noted she was in the process of healing and mentioned she is definitely never doing this again.
