usmagazine.com:

All for show? Chrishell Stause shed light on how her romance with Selling Sunset costar Jason Oppenheim began — and asserted that their whirlwind relationship was “100 percent” authentic.“We had been hiding our relationship successfully for quite a while, but I could feel that the walls were closing in,” the Dancing With the Stars alum, 40, wrote in an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, Under Construction, shared by E!

News on Friday, February 4. “Several times, we barely escaped getting caught by paparazzi, and we were starting to see posts on pop culture Instagram accounts speculating that something was going on between us.

We got tired of hiding like two kids smoking in the bathroom, so we posted about it ourselves.”The Netflix stars went public with their relationship in July 2021 during a trip to Europe with some fellow Selling Sunset cast members. “The internet melted when we let the world in on our secret, probably because it seemed like a curveball.

Well, it was exactly that for us too,” Stause wrote.After joining the Oppenheim Group, the former actress “developed a huge amount of respect” for her boss, but “there was nothing romantic” between them for years.“Jason was there for every breakup I had, and every bad day, and we became close through all those conversations.
