Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause addressed relationship age-gap with G Flip as she opened up on cruel trolling
Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause opened up about the cruel online trolling she's received over her age gap with her partner G Flip.
The pair have been happily in a relationship since mid-2022, and from her posts, it seems as though Australian musician Georgia Flipo, who turns 31 on Sunday (22 September), has been treating Chrishell, 43, like a queen.
But it seems that happiness isn’t what some people want to see from the couple, who have a 12-year age gap.

Speaking to Vogue Australia last year, the two shared how they have received an ‘unbelievable flood of trolling’ after making their relationship public.
She said: “Every day I'm seeing, like three positive comments and then hundreds of puke emojis and midlife crisis comments.
"At first, it felt so heavy, like, ‘What have you done?’ because it brought all this negativity to G’s life."
G Flip, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, added: "We could have kept everything quiet."
But Chrishell responded: "Then they win. They quiet you and take your voice."
The couple met at a Halloween party in 2021, it took a while for sparks to fly on Stause’s end.
G Flip told the publication: “I rocked up to Chrishell’s party totally by myself and I forced myself to talk to people and make friends.
“Chrishell got stood up and then we ended up kissing.”
But Stause considered it as kiss between friends.
She said: “I definitely still thought I was straight at that party!”
Then, she apologised to G Flip for ‘being straight’.
It was only months later that G Flip said they were going to move to Los Angeles and when Stause offered to help them rent a home nearby, she was shocked to notice she had caught feelings.
She said: “I specifically remember because it was the same feeling you would have when somebody you have a crush on gets a little too close into your space and you get a little … flustered.”
Now, the star says she is ‘attracted to energy, not whatever physical thing that people have in their head'.
What’s crazy is that Stause was supposed to join a dating show not long afterwards and realised that she had to turn down the opportunity as she was falling for G Flip.
So, she told the show ‘no’, and went on to make her relationship official.
“It was the best ‘no’ I’ve ever given,” she told Vogue.
“That would’ve been a great opportunity to find someone. But this is what I was trying to find.”
Now, the pair are married after holding a ceremony in May 2023 in Las Vegas and renewing their vows just 7 weeks ago.
It seems as though trolls are never going to win as the pair are just so happy with their life together.
Now, they are waiting to see what the future brings,
She told Extra’s Billy Bush: “We were talking lovely things, our family update, all of those things.
“I don’t have an update for you as of yet, but we’re working on it.
“We will have a family.”
