"Selling the OC": An Update on Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall's Relationship

Ever since Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow announced their split after two years of marriage in September 2022, the status of Stanaland's relationship with his "Selling the OC" costar Alex Hall has been thrown into question.

Throughout season one of Netflix's hit show "Selling the OC," Stanaland and Hall's friendship became a major topic of conversation, with many criticizing their flirtatious behaviour and calling it "inappropriate." At the time of Stanaland and Snow's separation, a source told People that their breakup was caused by him being on the show. "Brittany never wanted Tyler on the show but he was adamant," the source told People. "He wanted to make a name for himself on his own terms."

Another insider told the outlet, "They're fully over. All of the girls [on the show] are obsessed with him. He's been trying to be really respectful but it's taken a toll on his marriage 100 percent."

Though Hall and Stanaland have maintained that they're just friends, they were spotted getting close at a sushi restaurant in Corona Del Mar, CA, on the same day his divorce was announced, as seen in photos published by TMZ.

In December 2022, Hall debunked the dating rumours in an interview with Us Weekly, saying, "It literally never crossed my mind until it became the headlines on every freaking news channel after the show aired."

"Tyler's going through so much right now. I can't speak for him, but I know when I went through my divorce, dating wasn't even on my radar whatsoever," she added, "Like, dating for me is just another chore. And at this point, Tyler and I lean on each other in our friendship."

A month later, Hall and Stanaland travelled to Dubai together for the grand reveal of Dubai's newest hotel, Atlantis The Royal, where Beyoncé notably performed. And in August, Stanaland gave E! News an update on their relationship, saying, "Alex Hall and I are great." He continued, "She has been somebody that's been, you know really influential during this time and helped me out in a lot of ways and taken me to dinner when I needed it most. And she's been a really good friend."

In the trailer for the second season of "Selling the OC," Hall and Stanaland's relationship is still a hot topic, though neither of them seems to care much. At one point in the clip, Brandi Marshall confronts Hall about it, to which she responds, "I don't give a f*ck." In his interview with E! News, Stanaland was asked whether viewers will see Hall as a hero or villain when the show returns for season two on Sept. 8, to which he responded, "I mean, in my storyline she's a hero. I think for the story as a whole that's up to the audience to decide but she's been really great to me."
