Both Oppenheim and Stause remained busy after their breakup, with filming for season five of "Selling Sunset" wrapping right around the time they split. In February 2022, Stause finally opened up about the relationship and why it ended in an interview with Tamron Hall.
Stause first addressed speculation that her relationship with Oppenheim was a publicity stunt, given their relationship only lasted the duration of filming season five. "I think some people thought this was some kind of PR thing, and of course this is the opposite of how you would handle that if that were the case because we're no longer together," she said.
She also revealed that she and Oppenheim remain "best friends," and they continue to support each other despite their breakup. Ultimately, their split boiled down to their differing perspectives on starting a family, according to Stause. "At the end of the day, this is real life, sometimes, you know, our end plans aren't the same. I do want a family. I don't know which way that will take. I'm open to everything at this point, you know, but that is important to me."
