If you’re a reality TV devotee, you likely need no introduction to Chrishell Stause, the actor and real estate agent who’s been stealing scenes on Netflix’s Selling Sunset since the show premiered in 2019. (If you’re wondering about the origins of her unusual name, let me share what is arguably my favorite story of all time with you: Chrishell’s mother went into labor at a Shell gas station in Kentucky, and an attendant named Chris helped deliver the baby.)
These days, Stause is as committed as ever to helping people find their L.A. dream homes, but she’s also not shying away from speaking out about the things that matter to her, from reproductive freedom to LGBTQ+ rights. As for the status of Stause’s own relationship with nonbinary Australian musician G Flip, well…Stause describes the pair’s partnership as “unlocked,” explaining why the term feels right to her: “It’s when they have the key to your heart, but the walls are down and there are no rules or regulations, just love and support. Plus, it ties into real estate, which is actually quite cute!” Get all the details in the full interview below.
Vogue: How have you adjusted to being increasingly in the public eye over the last few years?
I mean, it’s kind of crazy, because the show has become so much bigger than anybody could have even imagined. We’ve kind of crested that part of a show where it becomes water-cooler talk, so it is a big adjustment, because it’s such a strange phenomenon to have millions of people intimately involved in your life and giving you feedback. I think an old version of me was very much a people-pleaser, and it’s really kind of helped me to just live my life the way I want, and try to be the person I want to be at all times. Of course, the show’s going to catch the good and the bad, but you have to just let it go and try to enjoy it.
What’s your favorite aspect of working in real estate?
Sometimes people are very specific about what they want, but more often than not, they end up buying something that’s a little different from exactly what they wanted to be shown. I try to listen to what people want and ask them what their must-haves are, but also just put in my own sense of, Okay, this isn’t exactly what they said, but I feel like they might be open to this idea. I really love that mix of listening to people and interpreting what they want.
