00:00 - Chrishell, season seven of "Selling Sunset."
00:04 Where does this stack up
00:05 with the six that came before it for you?
00:08 - Well, it kind of feels like, you know, in Jenga,
00:10 and it keeps getting higher and higher,
00:11 but it definitely feels like it might topple over.
00:14 That's where I'd put it.
00:15 On the top, I definitely feel like
00:16 it's one of our strongest seasons,
00:19 but it feels precarious.
00:21 We're really going for it.
00:23 - The foundation gets shakier and shakier.
00:25 - Exactly. - As we go.
00:26 - I mean, this season is hit after hit after hit at you.
00:31 It's a lot.
00:32 - I just feel like maybe there's feelings left.
00:35 - I'm losing brain cells on this conversation.
00:39 - Given everything you've gone through,
00:40 everything you've given the show, shared with the show,
00:43 do you start to think about
00:44 how much longer you're willing to give?
00:47 - Every day.
00:48 (both laughing)
00:51 All the time.
00:52 Just because, obviously, I'm so happy to be here,
00:55 and I'm so grateful for everything it provides,
00:57 but it is a trying position to be in,
01:00 and you always just have to weigh that out.
01:02 You can't do a show like this and not live your life open,
01:06 and yet there are so many elements
01:09 that it feels scary and vulnerable to live that way,
01:13 but as long as I'm doing this show,
01:15 I know that it only works if you do it authentically.
01:17 So I think that's a conversation you have
01:20 at each stopping point, to be like,
01:22 okay, are you gearing up to go 100?
01:25 'Cause there really is no in-between, in my opinion.
01:27 - Yeah, I also think you might leave filming a season
01:30 being like, I'm never doing this again,
01:31 and then you get time away, you're not filming,
01:34 and you're like, oh, I can do it again, and it happens.
01:36 Do you think about how much longer,
01:38 like, do you have an end date in mind?
01:40 Are you in this as long as,
01:41 until the wheels fall off, selling Sunset?
01:43 - I think I really feel like
01:45 as long as it serves everyone involved, you know?
01:48 So I feel like I definitely get a lot from the show.
01:51 Of course, there's gonna be good and bad that comes with it,
01:53 but as long as the good outweighs the bad,
01:55 then I can show up and be a team player,
01:58 even in the most ridiculous scenarios.
02:00 But if that balance gets off,
02:02 then it's time to rethink things.
02:04 But right now, I feel like as crazy as it got,
02:08 I still feel like some of these girls are family to me,
02:11 we really do have a good time,
02:13 and I can still kind of blow off the silly stuff
02:16 because this is not what life is about.
02:19 So let me try and be grateful
02:20 and give a deep eye roll and move on.
02:23 - We live for the deep eye roll.
02:25 Fans have watched you through love, heartbreak,
02:29 love, heartbreak, love, the love, it seems.
02:34 What does it mean to you to get to welcome fans
02:37 into this chapter of your life?
02:38 - Obviously, it was a little scary at first,
02:43 and I feel like I've really gotten to a place in my life
02:47 where I am so happy and so fulfilled
02:50 that I really appreciate people
02:52 that, first of all,
02:54 that were just supporters from the beginning,
02:56 but then people that also kept an open mind.
02:58 And being able to speak to the people
03:02 that maybe are afraid to live whatever their truth is
03:05 because of judgment,
03:07 and that can touch many different topics,
03:11 because I really feel like it makes a difference
03:13 in how you move in the world.
03:16 And so, yeah, I just feel like it can be scary at times,
03:20 but that being said, I feel like it's important
03:24 to have representation.
03:25 I think that was the original reason why G and I felt
03:29 it would be nice to show a little bit of our lives together.
03:33 And we're just so happy, so to be honest with you,
03:36 it doesn't give for good drama,
03:37 but I feel like it's nice to kind of show a happy side
03:42 to the other things you get in the show.
03:45 It's nice to have a--
03:46 - You need the balance. - Yes.
03:48 - Your wedding makes it onto the show,
03:50 in a way, this season.
03:52 - We decided to hop a plane to Vegas
03:54 and have Elvis marry us.
03:56 We didn't put the time and effort to go
03:58 and do it legally and do the paperwork.
04:00 You know, there's no importance in that
04:02 because we know what it is to us,
04:05 but the future is really, really bright for us.
04:08 - Why was it important for you to do that, but off camera?
04:11 - When we originally got married,
04:14 we knew that it would be a controversial topic.
04:18 And so I really try and constantly find this balance
04:22 of just wanting to keep my peace bubble.
04:27 I've said this from the very beginning
04:29 of "Selling Sunset."
04:30 And so there are certain times
04:32 where I'm not ready to share it right away.
04:34 And I do feel like I share a lot,
04:37 and I always will share,
04:39 but maybe not exactly when it happens.
04:41 So I feel like once we felt comfortable
04:44 really letting the world in, we did.
04:47 And yeah, so I feel like we wanted to keep
04:50 a few things private and just share it when we were ready.
04:54 - You didn't make it legal.
04:56 Are there any plans to change that?
04:58 - There are.
04:59 Again, we'll share that in due time,
05:02 but I feel like, yeah, I mean, to me,
05:05 I've done it that way and it didn't mean anymore.
05:07 So we know what it means.
05:10 And, you know, of course we're gonna deal
05:12 with that at some point.
05:13 You know, we plan on being together forever
05:15 and having family,
05:16 and those are the times that that decision
05:18 really makes a difference.
05:20 So right now, to me, it's, you know,
05:22 if somebody wants to make it, you know,
05:26 some kind of a judgment because of that, that's fine.
05:28 It truly means nothing, that piece of paper.
05:30 (laughing)
05:31 - Only to the government.
05:32 - But when you're dealing with, you know,
05:35 health things and family and things like that,
05:37 of course, then, you know, it's different.
05:39 - Totally.
05:39 We do see you talk about what the next chapter
05:42 looks like for you and G on the season.
05:44 - We're excited to adopt at some point.
05:47 And it's one of those things that at any point,
05:50 you know, we can do that.
05:51 I mean, I don't know what it's gonna look like.
05:53 Maybe a baby, maybe a six year old.
05:55 I have no idea when that day comes.
05:59 We both are really passionate about being able
06:01 to do that together.
06:02 And I am excited.
06:03 - I love that.
06:04 - Family planning, you're open to adoption now.
06:07 Do you have any updates to share
06:08 or a timeline for any of that?
06:10 - I don't yet.
06:11 I mean, it's one of those things I feel very similar
06:14 to, you know, of course, when that time comes,
06:17 we'll be super excited to share, you know,
06:20 as of right now, you know, there's a lot of things
06:22 that we're, you know, working on,
06:24 that it's not the time to let everybody in on
06:27 because it is obviously harder
06:29 and there's a lot of hoops to go through.
06:32 But that being said, we are excited about it
06:35 and we will happily share when we have something to share.
06:40 - I love that you've learned the bubble is important.
06:44 Stay in the love bubble, protect the love bubble,
06:47 which can be tough when it's so funny how life moves
06:50 of you get engaged, when are you getting married?
06:52 You get married, when are you having kids?
06:54 I'm doing that to you now.
06:55 I've received all those questions.
06:57 How do you balance those pressures
07:00 with just trying to live in that bubble?
07:03 - To be honest with you, I have to say,
07:04 doing reality television is a great way
07:07 to get out of your head and be like,
07:09 I don't care what you think,
07:10 I'll do it the way I wanna do it
07:11 because you're so bombarded with people's opinions
07:16 that you have to sink or swim
07:18 and the way to swim is to get to a place
07:20 where you know what makes you happy.
07:22 And of course I want to extend understanding to the viewers
07:27 because they do feel an ownership to know
07:30 because I have shared my life with them.
07:32 So I try and do it in a kind way,
07:34 but it's like, if you were in my shoes,
07:37 you would understand.
07:38 There are times that you have to protect the bubble
07:41 and share when you want to.
07:43 And then, of course, be excited
07:45 when you are ready to share.
07:47 - And just know that just because you signed yourself up
07:49 to share your life does not mean you signed yourself up
07:51 to share every aspect of your life all the time.
07:54 - So I never get really frustrated with the questions
07:56 because I do understand,
07:58 well, you decided to do a reality show,
08:01 but then they have to also,
08:03 I'm only gonna do it when,
08:06 the peace bubble is number one.
08:07 (laughing)
08:08 - Protect the peace.
08:09 - At the end of the day, the only thing I want is peace.
08:12 (upbeat music)
08:14 (upbeat music)
08:17 you
