SELLING Sunset star Jason Oppenheim has opened up about how the show’s reunion has given him “closure” after his split from Chrishell Stause.
After Jason, 45, shared the rise and fall of his relationship with Chrishell, 40, on screen, he’s opening up about how the reunion helped him move forward.
Season five showed the journey of his love story with his co-star – but it didn’t have the happy ending everyone was hoping for.
And during the Selling Sunset reunion episode, viewers caught a glimpse at the heartbreaking toll the relationship had on him.
In an emotional scene, Jason broke down as he opened up about how he was feeling about the “difficult breakup.”
Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report, Jason revealed he was glad the episode addressed some of the questions viewers might have had after watching season five.
He said: “I am glad we did it. I was very nervous and reticent about doing it and worried about the emotional toll that it would have on me, but I am really glad that I did.
“It was very kinda cathartic for me and I’ve honestly been really happy since the reunion. I think it really helped me get through some of the issues.
“These are real issues for us, it’s not just a show, so I had some things that I hadn’t got closure on and dealt with completely, so the reunion really did have a material affect on me in a positive way.”
Jason and Chrishell split on the season finale after the broker decided he did not want to have children.
Chrishell has expressed her desire to welcome a child all season long.
On the reunion, Chrishell confirmed she is dating Australian singer G Flip.
MOVING ON
As he moves forward with a renewed sense of strength, Jason has many things to be grateful for – and keeps a list on his phone as a reminder.
At the top is his family and twin brother, Brett, who he formed The Oppenheim Group with.
It was Brett who had convinced Jason to leave his legal career behind and transition into real estate after taking some time off to travel.
He revealed: “I’d probably still be a lawyer if it wasn’t for my brother, he left the law and he started traveling – and that’s what encouraged me to get out of law, my brother traveling the world and I just figured I wanted to travel the world as well.”
Jason added: “I was satisfied as a lawyer, but I don’t think I was fulfilled.”
He’s also thankful for his body and mind, with staying healthy one of the most important things to him through working out, therapy and eating well.
Jason has endless love for his friends and his castmates, as well as his dogs – Niko and Zelda- who he shares with co-star Mary Fitzgerald.
He enjoys his geographical presence in Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip and is proud of the business he worked hard to create.
