Chrishell Stause is sharing love and making jokes with her latest social media update with boyfriend Jason Oppenheim.
In July, the 40-year-old began dating her lover, who is also her boss at the Oppenheim group, as confirmed by PEOPLE. The "Days of Our Lives" star took to social media with a throwback selfie of them.
Height Is Just A Number
In the Instagram post, Stause and Oppenheim are smiling happily with their heads close together. The photo was taken on a vacation to Italy over the summer.

Regarding her boyfriend's beard and its grey flecks, the actress said in the captions of her post, "I like my snacks with a little salt and pepper on them."
The "Youthful Daze" actress added some winking and tongue-out emojis then cracked jokes with two hashtags.
The first was "#HeightAintNothingButaNumber," which was directed at Stause being taller than Oppenheim.
"#IndependentContractor," was the second hashtag, written towards people who have criticized her for dating her boss.
The real estate agent has previously said she works for herself, not her boyfriend since she is an independent contractor.
Going Public
In July, Stause and Oppenheim told the world about their relationship during a vacation in Europe. The reality personality revealed her new relationship status with a series of Instagram photos from their trip.
In one of the images, the TV star kissed her shirtless partner on the head while the two sat on a boat with a breathtaking ocean backdrop.
In another, the adoring boyfriend closed his eyes and planted a kiss on his lover's neck while she grinned towards the camera.
Also on the trip were Oppenheim's twin brother Brett and girlfriend Tina Louise, "Selling Sunset" co-stars, Mary Fitzgerald and her husband Romain Bonnet, and Amanza Smith.
Stause captioned the post "The JLo effect," hinting that Jenifer Lopez inspired the way she saved her relationship photos for last.
The singer recently posted some bikini photos, the last of which was a pic of her kissing actor Ben Affleck and confirming their reconciliation.
The TV personality's post was family approved as Brett commented, "Love you Chrishell. Thanks for making my brother happy."
Clearing The Air On Her Ex's Relationship
In May, The Blast reported that Stause addressed claims of spitefulness at the news of her former husband actor Justin Hartley's wedding.
Hartley had privately tied the knot with his girlfriend Sofia Pernas after a messy divorce with his ex-wife.
The "Selling Sunset" star claimed that Hartley announced he was divorcing her through a text on an episode of the show.
Stause thought it was a joke until the news went public shortly after. The TV personality liked a tweet calling Hartley a cheater, which made negative rumors spread.
The 40-year-old addressed the claims on her Instagram stories saying that if she had something to say, she would say it on her Instagram page, with the hashtag #bookedandunbothered.
Stause seems to have moved on and is enjoying a blissful relationship with Oppenheim.
