Why Selling Sunset's Christine Quinn is BANNED from Heather Rae Young's wedding
As Mary Fitzgerald teases MAJOR season four drama
There’s never a dull moment over at The Oppenheim Group and, as Selling Sunset fans eagerly await the upcoming fourth season, it appears there’s some major drama brewing as Mary Fitzgerald has revealed Christine Quinn has been BANNED from Heather Rae Young’s wedding.
With Heather set to marry her fiancé Tarek El-Moussa in scenes that will air when the Netflix show returns to our screens, it seems not all of the cast have been invited to the ceremony.
While most of the real estate brokers turned reality stars have remained close to Heather, Mary has teased a feud between Christine and the rest of the cast after letting slip that the new mum won’t be attending the nuptials.
When asked if who will be at the wedding, Mary told Metro: “I think… well, I think everybody except Christine.”
Teasing drama between Christine and the rest of the cast, she continued: “Yeah, things have happened, and I mean we are professional and cordial at the office, but outside of the office, most people don’t choose to associate with her.
“I think everybody will see why and understand. All the cast members have kind of come to this… have arrived at this place for their own reason and for different events that have happened. But nonetheless, we’re all at the same place.”
Check out all of these amazing Selling Sunset facts below:
1. The Oppenheim Group actually has 17 agents
Although Mary, Chrishell, Davina, Maya, Heather, Emma, Nicole, Bre, Amanza and Chelsea all feature as real estate agents on the show, there's actually four other agents at the business - these are Peter Cornell, Alice Kwan, Omar Abaza, Alexander Huerta, Romi Jordan Mouillon, Kane Lim, and Minoo Malek.
2. Romain used to be a pastry chef
French model Romain Bonnett, who married Mary Fitzgerald on season 2 of Selling Sunset, actually used to work as a pastry chef!
Back in 2019, he wrote on Instagram: 'Since so many asked me if it was true that I was a pastry chef, here is some of the pasty I used to make. YES IT WAS TRUE !!! 😜😬'. (sic)
3. Selling Sunset is created by the same man who created The Hills
Yes, that's right! The Hills producer Adam DiVello is the creator of Selling Sunset - that guy certainly knows how to make great TV!
4. Jason once had Orlando Bloom's house on his books
The Oppenheim Group's President Jason Oppenheim has worked with some major stars over the years! Not only has he sold houses for the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Lea Black, he was also selling Orlando Bloom's house!
He told us in 2019: "My favourite guy that I worked with is Orlando Bloom. But that's why I'm selling his house right now because he's going to be a dad. So families and marriages are good for real estate."
5. Mary has a son called Austin Babbitt
Selling Sunset fans met Mary Fitzgerald's son during season 2 of the show in 2020, when Austin walked his mum down the aisle for her wedding to Romain.
6. Chrishell was once engaged to Matthew Morrison
Before marrying (and then divorcing) American actor Justin Hartley, Chrishell Stause was once engaged to Glee star Matthew Morrison.
The couple first met way back in 2006, with a proposal coming just months later. However, things didn't work out and the pair called time on their romance in December 2007.
7. Heather is now married with a baby
After announcing her new romance with Tarek El Moussa during season 2 of Selling Sunset, just weeks before season 3 hit Netflix, Heather Young announced Tarek had popped the question to her!
In October 2021, the pair tied the knot at a luxury ceremony surrounded by their friends and family, including Heather's Selling Sunset co-stars, with footage being shown in series 5.
Heather and Tarek then welcomed a baby boy called Tristan in January 2023. Unfortunately for fans, Heather announced she wouldn't be returning to the show after series seven. She's actually now got her own series alongside Tarek, called The Flipping El Moussas.
8. Christine didn't meet her ex-husband by selling him a house
Although season 2 of Selling Sunset seemed to document that Christine Quinn met her now ex-husband Christian Richard whilst selling him a house, it turns out the pair actually met through mutual friends.
During an interview on This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, she said: "Well actually, that was amped up a little, I'm not going to lie. I actually met him through a girlfriend of mine, but Mary spun this story that he was a client. We were dating for three months and then we bought a house together, but television is fun."
Christine filed for a divorce from Christian in April 2024.
9. Chrishell wasn't part of The Oppenheim Group before Selling Sunset
She's a valued member of the team now, but Chrishell Stause actually only joined the real estate agency when she was signed to appear on the show.
Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello said at the time: "She really is a realtor and has a real estate license selling homes when we met her. I think we were lucky to get her, I think she adds something that is very unique to Los Angeles, and we're doing a show about realtors in Los Angeles. The fact that we have one who's an actress and happens to be married to an actor who's on a very successful TV series is a plus."
10. Mary actually sold a house on her wedding day
As viewers witnessed in season 2, Mary Fitzgerald doesn't stop work for anything... Even her own wedding!
Whilst getting her hair and make-up applied on her big day, Mary took time out to show round a buyer of the stunning house she was using for her venue.
She later told People magazine: "I end up selling my wedding venue on my wedding day, which was amazing. I paused the wedding and sold it in the middle of getting ready. Everyone thought I was out of my mind, but I told the seller when he allowed me to book it for the wedding venue that I won't let the wedding planning or doing it there get in the way of selling it!"
11. The Oppenheim Group now have a Newport Beach office and it's got a spin-off show
At the start of January 2021, Jason Oppenheim confirmed the group have now opened a office in Newport Beach.
In a post on Instagram, he said: 'I'm very proud and excited to announce our new Oppenheim Group office in Newport Beach!! After many years of contemplation, my love for Newport Beach and its exciting real estate opportunities have convinced me to go for it! And if you're going to go, go big, so I found a 4,000 sq. ft. former bank and we are renovating it now - it's going to be the coolest office anywhere, with a full bar, living room, dining area, arcade, pool table, gym, showers, kitchen, vault with whiskey/wine, coffee bar, walls of contemporary art, books, and vintage boom boxes, and who knows, maybe even some desks! Give me a few weeks and I'll post the interior photos 😀'.
It was then confirmed in November 2021 that Selling Sunset will be getting a spin-off show for the new office, called Selling The O.C. - this then aired in August 2022, with a number of series to date.
Other spin-off shows including Selling Tampa.
12. Emma Hernan once qualified for the Olympics
In series 5, Emma casually dropped the fact she'd once swam a time that would have qualified her for the Olympics! However, she gave up swimming when she was 16 to focus on modelling.
13. The cast pay for their own hair, makeup and wardrobe
You've probably noticed the Selling Sunset girls always look absolutely flawless, dripped head-to-toe in designer gear, but Netflix don't actually pay for any of this!
14. Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn used to be friends
Despite their now on-going feud, Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn actually used to be friends - this was until producers pitted them against each other.
Christine once said: "They wanted us to clash obviously and at first, we didn't. We got along great. We were friends. She was at my house. We were drinking, having a good time. I was getting to know her and the storylines came into play. We thought that we were good at separating things."
Mary’s revelation comes after Christine admitted Heather “really hurt her feelings” with comments she made following Christine’s pregnancy announcement.
“I'm thinking motherhood might soften her a little bit. From other girls I know in the past, it has softened them. So I'm sure it'll maybe happen for her.] I'm hoping it will,” Heather told [Us Weekly at the time.
Heather’s comments didn’t sit well with Christine who, during an appearance on This Morning, said: “I was really shocked to hear that through the press. You know, it is what it is. And I hate when people shelter themselves behind the press. Say those things to my face, but they never will. So I was just really hurt and shocked and surprised."
Then, speaking exclusively to heat, she said: “I never saw it coming because obviously she was married and so happy and he's always been a commitment-phobe. She's very serious in relationships, so I didn't even think about that and we're all just good friends. I think Brett probably knew first, but then I could just tell, I was like, 'Jason, what are you not telling me?' I could just tell by his smile, I just knew.
“I've been keeping it a secret for them and trying to help them hide it for a few months now. Just so they can see what their real feelings are, where it's going before they share it with the world and then have all the pressure of everybody and anybody putting their two cents in."
