One aspect of "Selling Sunset" and its latest season that Oppenheim is not overthinking?

His break-up with Stause.

But for now Oppenheim has only directly addressed their split in an Instagram post.

According to Elle, the break-up post read, "While Chrishell and I are no longer together, we remain best friends and we will always love and support one another. She was the most amazing girlfriend I've ever had, and it was the happiest and most fulfilling relationship of my life..."

Both Stause and Oppenheim have been candid in sharing the reason for their split.

Stause has been vocal about her desire for motherhood one day, and Oppenheim was more reluctant to take the big step.

Some of the former couple's closest contacts have been open about being 'surprised' the pair had ultimately decided to call it quits.

The Oppenheim Group's newly appointed vice President and Oppenheim's former girlfriend Mary Fitzgerald recently spoke up about Oppenheim and Stause's split.

"It's sad because I love them together," Fitzgerald told Us Weekly as per Elle.

We definitely wish the cordial former lovebirds luck with the season's reunion dropping this Friday!
