Selling Sunset is the best reality TV series… fight me!
This show is an accurate representation of what is contained in a woman— a working woman, a boss mother, a reliable partner, and an entity who can balance emotions and rationality. I have been addicted to the series that also acts as a “self-help Queening boss b*tch” guide to live your true potential and be unapologetically yourself.
Remember Glengarry Glenn Ross, a 1992 film about male real estate agents losing their sh*t for 2 hours of run time? Yeah… Selling Sunset completely subverts the notion and shows how level-headed women are.
There’s no denying that with the true nature of reality TV spirit, the show also falls under the same trope of mindless drama, toxic relationships, and screaming matches. Still, at the same time, it gives a precise glimpse of the high-end real estate industry.
At the heart of the show, Jason Oppenheim, the president and founder of the Oppenheim group, manages his warrior troop of licensed real estate agents. Per their website, the firm has over $3B in total sales and $300 million in active listings. Under his leadership, the women are thriving and reigning over the Hollywood Hills.
Everyone wondered who the eligible bachelor president would end up with romantically. And boy, did he surprise all of us.
Jason Oppenheim (46) has been in a relationship with 25-year-old model Marie Lou Nurk since July 2022. The couple first met while they were vacationing in Greece. Marie Lou moved in with Mr. Oppenheim in LA. Their long-distance relationship is explored in the new season of Selling Sunset since the model was frequently moving from Paris to LA.
However, Jason posted an Instagram story on May 2023 stating that they had broken up after ten months of relationship.
What Is the Relationship Between Jason and Marie?
As per PEOPLE, Marie Lou Nurk was vacationing in Mykonos, Greece, last summer. Marie-Lou recalls the first time she met Jason Oppenheim at a beach club, and the two vibed instantly. When the rumors surfaced on the internet, netizens wondered what could possibly be common between the two. Even their height difference is a paradox.
But contrary to popular belief, the model has more to her credit than meets the eye.
Per her LinkedIn profile, Marie Lou has studied Economics and works as a brand strategist for a German company, the Strichpunkt Design Agency. She is also represented by Mega Model Agency.
When Selling Sunset navigated their relationship, it created excellent TV content since fellow cast member Chrishell Stause dated Oppenheim in 2021. Chrishell and Marie Lou were at loggerheads for the majority of the season. Trust me…. You can cut metal with the sharp tension between the two.
Why Did Marie Lou and Jason Break Up?
Jason Oppenheim took to his Instagram on May 2023 to announce that they decided to end their relationship after ten months. He expressed his sentiments in the Instagram story, stating–
“While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome.”
“We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other, and we want the very best for one another. We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.”
Fans speculated that the long distance was probably the significant factor in creating more divergence in their relationship.
During her previous Q and A session, Marie Lou revealed their relationship status, expressing the challenges of long distance. She wrote in response–
“The truth is, we both knew from the beginning that I would have to move back because of my job, friends, and family being here.”
“Long distance relationships can be tough, but we’re both committed to making it work. We make sure to communicate regularly and make time for each other despite the distance.”
“While it’s not always easy, we both believe that our love is worth the effort. I’m grateful to have such a supportive partner who understands my goals and passions. At the end of the day, it’s important to follow your heart and pursue your dreams, even if it means taking risks and facing challenges.”
It’s safe to say that the couple tried their best but couldn’t overcome the space between them.
Who Is Jason’s New Girlfriend?
As per the latest update, Jason Oppenheim has not been in a relationship since his break up with Marie-Lou.
However, netizens believe that Mari-Lou has already moved on. Her recent Instagram post shows her with another mystery man, just two months after Jason announced their breakup. The post appears as though the couple are snapped by the paparazzi.
