Selling Sunset’s Mary Fitzgerald discusses Chrishell Stause’s ‘cute’ romance with Keo Motsepe 

Selling Sunset’s Mary Fitzgerald has discussed her co-star Chrishell Stause’s ‘cute’ new romance with Dancing With The Stars pro Keo Motsepe.

Talking to MailOnline in an exclusive interview, the realtor, 40, admitted that she was ‘concerned’ at the beginning as she didn’t want Chrishell’s ‘heart to be broken again’, after the star’s painful split from ex-husband Justin Hartley in series three.

Yet despite her initial worries, Mary said that she is delighted for Chrishell, 39, as the star is ‘over the moon’ and Keo, 31, is ‘awesome’.

Mary said: ‘They are so cute, I was concerned in the beginning as I was like, I don’t want her heart being broken again… but Keo is awesome and Chrishell is just over the moon.

‘They are just the cutest couple, so lovey-dovey, she deserves all the happiness. I can’t wait to see what happens with them, he seems like a fantastic guy!’

Mary sweetly added: ‘She and I have become very, very close. She’s such a sweetheart, I’m really happy to see this happen.’

Chrishell revealed that she is dating Dancing With The Stars professional Keo by sharing a sweet snap of the new couple together in December.   

Keo, who met Chrishell during her stint on the show last year, shared the same snap on his page alongside a love heart caption, while he also posted a selection of loved-up up clips and snaps on his Instagram Story.

Chrishell married ex-husband Justin, 43, in October of 2017, before he filed for divorce in November 2019, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’

The All My Children alum said that she was ‘blindsided’ by the divorce proceedings, during her tearful reaction on series three of Selling Sunset, after Justin allegedly notified her via text. 

Elsewhere during the interview, Mary also discussed her marriage with husband Romain Bonnet, 27.

Mary and Romain first met in 2017, with their wedding – and all the drama building up to it – televised in season two of Selling Sunset. 

Mary revealed that the couple have just moved into a new house and that they are enjoying having more space with their new abode which boasts a home gym, outdoor space and a ‘nice yard’. 

While the realtor also admitted that they have had to put a ‘pause’ on starting a family together although she will be freezing her eggs soon. 

Season three of the Netflix show saw the couple broach the subject on whether they want children, yet the conversation is ongoing. 

Mary, who is already a mother to a son called Austin, 22, from a previous relationship, said: ‘Absolutely, yeah, that is something that is very important to us and we get so caught up in our work, we barely see each other because we’re working so much. 

‘But a family right now? It isn’t going to happen, we have to put a pause on that. But freezing my eggs is definitely important, you know, I’m 40… going to be 41.’

Mary also teased that fans can ‘expect’ a series four and that she would be ‘more than happy’ to document her process on the show.

She said: ‘During whatever we’re filming, it is something I have to tackle, I have to prioritise. We’re going to make a point to do that and I would be more than happy to show that on the show.’

Teasing series four, which is yet to be announced by Netflix, Mary said: ‘I’m not allowed to confirm anything yet… but I will say that I think everybody can expect a series four. 

‘Everything has just been delayed because of Covid restrictions with filming but season three did so well. I think you guys will hear something from Netflix pretty soon!’ 

The show follows the LA real estate market and The Oppenheim Group, run by brothers Jason and Brett – they sell multimillion dollar properties to the rich and famous of California. Although Brett has since left and started his own brokerage. 

Teasing what else fans can expect from series four, Mary revealed that it’s likely a lot of Heather Rae Young’s wedding preparation to Tarek El Moussa will be shown.

She said: ‘Heather got engaged, she and Tarek are such a cute couple. I’m just so excited for her too. She’s planning a wedding, Chrishell and I have been involved in some of the wedding stuff.

‘I think we’re going out again in about a week to help her, I think you’ll see a lot of that on series four.’

The star also revealed that Brett Oppenheim is still going to be a part of the show after co-star Christine Quinn revealed that he had left the Oppenheim Group last year, which he shared with twin brother Jason, to start his own brokerage.

Mary said: ‘It’s not really changed anything because we still work with him all the time. He’s still very much a part of our group, our family, our friends and we still see him in the office. He still comes in because we’re all a big family.’

She added: ‘We still see him all the time, he’s still going to be a part of the show. We’re constantly with him!’

Mary also revealed that despite the global coronavirus pandemic, she has had her ‘best year ever’ as the housing market is ‘on fire’.

The star explained that the Oppenheim Group are still able to do showings, but they have to wear masks, gloves and make viewers sign waivers that they understand the risk of going into someone else’s home.

Talking about how series four filming could be impacted by the pandemic, she added: ‘I don’t know for sure how they would have to do it, I know from when Chrishell did Dancing With The Stars, you have to get tested I believe every two days. 

‘The whole crew, everybody. It’s a very expensive process to be able to film, very time-consuming to make sure you’re following all the regulations.’ 

She added: ‘[There will probably be more] individual scenes, I’m sure they would probably just do smaller groups of us, not as many parties and stuff like that, just make sure we’re being sensitive to what is going on!’

Mary is also keeping busy as one of many Hollywood stars who work with Thrillz, a site that allows fans to commission personalised video messages from celebrities.

The star is set host a Zoom event with her co-star and best friend Amanza Smith on 31 January which will give fans a chance to ask the stars questions.

Talking about the event and working with Amanza, Mary said: ‘We’re very excited, talking with Amanza is always hilarious I don’t think that people get to see our interactions with each other much on our show.

‘But every time we do some sort of an interview or something together, it’s just pretty funny just because we amp each other up and just talking, we get off track.

‘We’ve just been best friends for so long. So we just have an interesting connection with each other!’
