Jason Oppenheim is offering an update on where he stands with Chrishell Stause months after their late 2021 split.
After the Selling Sunset star and founder of real estate firm The Oppenheim Group threw a surprise party for his ex-girlfriend’s 41st birthday at Catch Steak in Los Angeles, where she sparked rumors of an engagement to binary musician G Flip with a mysterious ring, he opened up about their current relationship.
“[Emma Hernan] and I did that together, and Emma pulled off the surprise aspect of it,” Jason told E! News on July 17. “I didn’t think that was a good idea because I wasn’t sure that we could pull it off, but we did.”
In addition to Jason and Emma, a number of other Selling Sunset cast members, including Amanza Smith, Davina Potratz, Chelsea Lazkani, and Brett Oppenheim, were in attendance.
Continuing on of the celebration, Jason said that because he and Chrishell started off as close friends, they were able to easily revert back to that dynamic.
“We’re in a great place,” he explained. “I think we’re both really happy right now, and we get along really well. And I think that’s evident by, you know, last night. I mean, I was honored to be able to be with her on her birthday and it was a really, really good night. We’re so hungover.”

Following the event, Chrishell took to her Instagram page, where she shared a series of photos and videos, many of which included what appeared to be an engagement ring on her left hand.
“I have the BEST friends,” she wrote in the caption. “So my actual bday is Thursday July 21st, & thought I was just going to dinner with [Emma Hernan. Bday elves Emma & [Jason Oppenheim] coordinated the absolute BEST early bday surprise!”
“I walked in and only saw [Nina Parker] at first & just was excited she was at the same restaurant. The video of me realizing makes me laugh so much-had no clue -you guys are GOOD! I love you all SO much!! Had an absolute blast-my 1st ever surprise bday party! My lil emo cancer heart is soooo grateful for the best friends a girl could have.”
And while Chrishell’s partner, G Flip, wasn’t in attendance, Chrishell’s ring got the attention of many, some of whom suspected the two of them had gotten engaged.
But in response to the rumors, Chrishell’s rep confirmed to Us Weekly on Monday that the jewelry “is just a ring and nothing else.”
“They are in fact not engaged,” the rep added.
As for Jason’s relationship status, he recently sparked rumors of a new romance during a trip to Greece. But during his interview with E! News, he told the outlet he was “pretty single.”
“I met someone in Mykonos, but we’ll see,” he added.
