Chrishell Stause of Selling Sunset has been going through a rough patch lately. She had to go through a public divorce in November last year and now in the newest season of her reality show. But, fans are relieved to see that she has her sister, Shonda, by her side.
The actress went through a series of tragic events within a year. In April last year, she lost her father to lung cancer. Then her ex-husband Justin Hartley filed for separation. Now, in July, her mother died of the same disease as her father's. The real estate agent has been staying strong and holding onto her Selling Sunset co-stars cum friends, namely Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae Young, Jason Oppenheim, and Amanza Smith. However, when she was hit by the news of her tragic divorce, she turned to her sister, Shonda, for support. She said that so much media attention was overwhelming for her. And she wanted to spend some time with her family. Her sister lives in St.Louis with her family - a devoted husband and three lovely kids.
Many fans noticed that Chrishell's big sister took very good care of her throughout her stay. Even Shonda's husband and children were very supportive and seemed like a breath of fresh air amid the Justin chaos. Shonda took her little sister to her spa and calmly listened to what she had to say. Although the sister duo only had a few scenes together, fans noticed how loving Shonda is. One of the Reddit users said, "Obviously I never want to go through a divorce, but if I had to, I'd do anything to have a sister like Shonda. Her voice is so soothing and the fact that she runs a spa? She seems great." Another one wrote, "I need a Shonda in my life. Damn me only having brothers." Check out the tweet below:
Another comment said, "Their goodbye at the airport made me cry...you can tell how much she cares about Chrishell." The real estate agent is also happy for her sister and says that she desired to have the same things. During a confessional, the 39-year-old poured her heart out and said, "They have been married so long and they have this beautiful family. I just think it's really hard to be around because that's what I wanted and that's what I am realizing I don't have, but it helps me be inspired to know that it might be out there. It just may take a different path than what I was thinking."
Selling Sunset viewers loved to see Chrishell's sister and her loving family. Shonda also made a brief appearance in season one, when the sisters meet for lunch, and Chrishell discusses her new job. Since season 3 has received a lot of praise from the audience, and it looks like there's going to be season 4. Let's hope that the upcoming seasons will have some additional scenes of Chrishell and Shonda together!
Selling Sunset season 3 is available to watch on Netflix.
