After a 10-month relationship, Selling Sunset’s Jason Oppenheim and Marie Lou Nurk have decided to end their romance. The couple, who first met while vacationing in Greece last summer, recently moved into a new home together in Los Angeles.

Taking to his Instagram story, Jason shared a photo of himself and Marie Lou gazing into the sunset and explained the reason behind their split. “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,” he wrote. He emphasized that they remain close friends, continue to support each other, and wish the best for each other. Jason expressed gratitude to their supporters throughout their relationship.

The breakup news follows Marie Lou’s candid remarks during an Instagram Q&A about the difficulties of a long-distance relationship. She acknowledged the challenges but expressed commitment to making it work by communicating regularly and prioritizing each other despite the distance. She emphasized the importance of following one’s heart and pursuing dreams, even if it means facing risks and challenges.

Their romance began on the Greek island of Mykonos in July 2022, shortly after Jason’s split with Chrishell Stause. Despite not seeking a relationship at the time, the connection between Jason and Marie Lou was undeniable. They made their relationship public in August, attending a movie premiere together. The couple recently moved into a luxurious condo in Los Angeles and even provided an exclusive tour of their new space in February.

Marie Lou also appeared in the sixth season of Jason’s hit Netflix show, Selling Sunset. In September, she expressed excitement about being on the reality series but acknowledged the reduced privacy since being involved with Jason. Earlier this month, the couple sparked brief marriage rumors with a series of playful photos, but Jason clarified that they were from an event they attended and not their wedding.
