Jason Oppenheim and Marie Lou Nurk's relationship so far
Marie Lou appeared on Selling Sunset season six when Jason Oppenheim introduced her as his girlfriend to the fierce brokers of the Oppenheim Group. Lou admitted that being in the spotlight comes with both positives and negatives as she isn't able to enjoy the kind of privacy she had before debuting.
Before the split, the 25-year-old model responded to an Instagram Q&A question about her boyfriend's reaction to her moving back to France.
"The truth is, we both knew from the beginning that I would have to move back because of my job, friends, and family being here. Long distance relationships can be tough, but we're both committed to making it work. We make sure to communicate regularly and make time for each other despite the distance."
She continued:
"While it's not always easy, we both believe that our love is worth the effort. I'm grateful to have such a supportive partner who understands my goals and passions. At the end of the day, it's important to follow your heart and pursue your dreams, even if it means taking risks and facing challenges."

The two had also shared an Instagram post sparking marriage rumors. The post, captioned "Here's to a lifetime of adventures", featured Marie Lou in a white, feather-adorned mini dress and Jason Oppenheim in a black and white suit. Congratulatory messages started pouring in soon, which prompted Jason to change the caption to 'You always make me smile.'
