Chrishell Stause is an American actress, real estate agent, reality television personality, and author whose life story reads like a master class in resilience — from a childhood marked by poverty and instability to becoming one of Netflix’s most recognizable reality television stars. Born Terrina Chrishell Stause on July 21, 1981, in Draffenville, Kentucky, she grew up in difficult circumstances; her family experienced homelessness, lived in a tent and at one point in an abandoned schoolhouse, and struggled with addiction and financial insecurity. These formative hardships instilled a fierce drive that would define her adult career.
Stause pursued acting after college and made her television debut in 2005 on the ABC soap opera All My Children, where she played Amanda Dillon until 2011. She subsequently appeared on Days of Our Lives as Jordan Ridgeway and The Young and the Restless as Bethany Bryant, building a solid soap opera resume that earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2020. Her film credits include thriller roles in My Little Girl Is Gone (2018) and Staged Killer (2019).
Her profile exploded globally when she joined Netflix’s Selling Sunset in 2019, a reality series following the luxury real estate agents of The Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles. Over multiple seasons, viewers watched the arc of her personal and professional life unfold in intimate detail — including the shocking public dissolution of her marriage to actor Justin Hartley, who famously filed for divorce by text message in November 2019 after four years together. The divorce, finalized in 2021, and her subsequent relationship with boss Jason Oppenheim, which ended in December 2021, generated enormous viewership and fan engagement. She won Best Reality Star at the 2022 MTV Movie + TV Awards for Selling Sunset.
In 2022, she published the memoir Under Construction: Because Living My Best Life Took a Little Work, which blended personal narrative with self-help guidance. The same year, she publicly confirmed her relationship with Australian non-binary musician G Flip, who appeared alongside her on Selling Sunset. The two married in 2023.
As a real estate agent at The Oppenheim Group, Stause has closed millions in sales. Her income streams include Netflix appearance fees, real estate commissions, brand endorsements with companies including Lipsy and Adobe, and social media partnerships with her 4+ million Instagram followers. As of 2025, her estimated net worth is approximately $6 million. She owns a $3.3 million Hollywood Hills home purchased in 2021.
