Jason Oppenheimopened up about his feelings for his ex andSelling SunsetcostarChrishell Stause, although the real estate mogul didn’t really have much of a choice in the matter.
During the season 7 reunion episode on Wednesday, Oppenheim, 46, was put on the spot when hostTan Franceasked him, “Are you still in love with Chrishell?” To make things even more intense, the Oppenheim Group president was hooked up to a lie detector test when the loaded question was asked.
Despite a convincing denial, the lie detector indicated otherwise. A slightly embarrassed Stause covered her face with a hand.

After less than a year of dating, the pairannounced their breakupin December 2021 with separate statements on Instagram. Both real estate agents explained that their differences in wanting to start a family was what ultimately led to their split.
“While we have different wants regarding a family, we continue to have the utmost respect for one another,” Oppenheim wrote in his statement.
Meanwhile, Stause wrote in a since-deleted post of her own, “Men have the luxury of time that women don’t and that’s just the way it goes. All of that being said, navigating this public terrain is difficult and I am just trying my best…I very much hope to one day have a family and decisions I make at this point are with that goal in mind.”
