Mary Fitzgerald, Jason Oppenheim, and Amanza Smith go way back. According to the “Behind the Velvet Rope” podcast, Smith told host David Yontef in a 2020 episode that she was friends with Fitzgerald and Oppenheim separately, and introduced the two at her rooftop barbecue. Soon enough, Fitzgerald and Oppenheim would hit it off with each other and date.
In Season 1, episode 3 of “Selling Sunset,” Chrishell Stause asked Fitzgerald and Oppenheim how long they dated during Fitzgerald and Romain Bonnet’s engagement dinner. “It depends if you include the breakup period, but about six months to a year,” Oppenheim responded. “We had a lingering period,” Fitzgerald continued. “We broke up but still dated.”
After the two officially broke up, Fitzgerald and Oppenheim remained best friends. Oppenheim told Good Housekeeping that he “would prefer to work with [his] best friend any day of the week.” He points out how Fitzgerald’s ambition and commitment have impressed him over the years. He also added that he is “her biggest supporter and her biggest fan.” Fitzgerald would then be Oppenheim’s biggest supporter when he started dating Chrishell Stause.
