Davina Potratz
Davina was a more quieter member of the cast and simply got on with her business in season 1 and 2... That was until she made a comment about Romain's engagement ring choice, leading to her being axed from the guest list by the French man.
At the end of season 2, Davina was attempting to list a mansion owned by billionaire Adnan Sen for $80 million, something which was still ongoing in season 3. Although Davina occasionally pops up on the show, she's no longer a main cast member.
Christine Quinn
Christine Quinn is one of the most talked-about cast members of Selling Sunset, with her lavish parties and no-nonsense personality.
In season 2 of Selling Sunset, Christine announced her engagement to retired businessman Christian Richard, with the pair throwing a very eccentric engagement party.
Season 3 was also massive for Christine, with her lavish wedding being filmed for the show, as she walks down the alter in a stand-out BLACK dress.
In February 2021, Christine announced she was pregnant with her first child, with the gender reveal reportedly due to play out in season 4. Christine welcomed her baby boy in May.
As Christine has now left The Oppenheim Group, she will not appear in future series.
Romain Bonnet
He's the French model that stole the heart of Mary Fitzgerald (and us), with the pair tying the knot in season 2. Viewers got to see the stubborn side of Romain after his argument with Davina, which led to him not backing down over the guest list plans.
Romain also now works for The Oppenheim Group as a trusted contractor, with him doing construction work for the company's brand new office.

Speaking about the fact she was initially due to appear during series 1 of Selling Sunset, Nicole told PEOPLE: "Originally, I was a part of the main cast. Honestly, at the time, I just got cold feet right before they were going to start filming. I just wasn't ready to expose my entire life, and even more so, my clients and business — which I'm very protective of — to the entire world."
Meanwhile, Bre, who recently gave birth to a baby boy called Legendary Love Cannon, told the publication: "I wanted to transition out of modelling and start setting myself up for a long-term career. I started taking it more seriously and tapping into my network, and that's when I started making some high-figure sales.
"As amazing as modelling was as an industry for me, I was just kind of over it. You know, I'm 31 now. So I'm like, it's time to be a big girl!"

During an interview alongside her husband Tarek in April 2024, Heather confirmed she wouldn't be be appearing in series eight, with producers not asking her to come back.
Speaking on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, she said: "It was a blessing that I wasn't asked to come back because I'm so much happier filming my show with Tarek. We're co-producers on our show so we pick the hours. With Selling Sunset, I never knew when I was going to be filming.
"It was last minute, it took over my life, it was hard to do my real job — real estate. It was hard to do anything else.
"There would be days I'd come home to him Tarek crying from the stress of filming."
Admitting she tried to keep away from the drama with her fellow cast mates, Heather added: "I pretty much was level-headed almost the whole time. I was kind of friends with everyone and I kept things pretty chill in my life.
"You're around a bunch of women who all want to be stars on the show, you know, number one. And they'll kind of do anything."
