Chrishell Stause and G Flip shocked fans by announcing their split on October 26, 2026, after three and a half years of marriage, but new details have since emerged that question the legality of their union.
Despite exchanging vows four times over the last few years, the Selling Sunset alum, 45, and Australian musician, 33, were never legally married.
The couple first said 'I do' in a Las Vegas ceremony in May 2023, but the marriage was reportedly not legally binding.
And despite another ceremony in Palm Springs in July 2023, a vow renewal in Australia in July 2024, and a medieval-themed ceremony at a castle in Los Angeles in July 2025, they never made their marriage official, according to TMZ.
While they planned to renew their vows "every year and make it a tradition," they didn't appear to have a ceremony in 2026 before announcing their split on social media.

Chrishell shared the news in an emotional Instagram video, speaking candidly about the difficulty of discussing the breakup publicly.
"I have a pretty humbling update to share with you guys," she began, before confirming that their relationship had ended.

"I feel like a little bit of a failure," she admitted through tears.

"I will always love G, and I don't ever really see that changing," she said.
Chrishell said she was still processing the separation and needed time to heal, reassuring herself that she would eventually move forward.
"And I know that will happen, and I'm gonna heal, and everything's going to be fine," she said.

The couple first met at a Halloween party in 2021. Chrishell publicly confirmed their romance during the Selling Sunset season five reunion in May 2022, revealing that their connection developed around her appearance in G Flip's "Get Me Outta Here" music video.
