Chrishell Stause denies speculation that she was romantically involved with Simu Liu
  • Chrishell Stause helped Simu Liu search for a house on season four of "Selling Sunset."
  • On Tuesday's "WWHL," the real-estate agent denied that she was romantically involved with the actor.

Chrishell Stause denied having any romantic involvement with Simu Liu, explaining that she's only ever been friends with the actor on Tuesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live."

The "Selling Sunset" cast member, 40, helped the "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" star look for a new Los Angeles home on season four of the Netflix reality series, which premiered in November 2021.

Their friendly on-screen interactions led some viewers to question if Stause's relationship with the 32-year-old actor extends outside of real estate.

After a fan asked the "Under Construction" author whether or not she has a romantic connection with Liu on "WWHL," Stause responded: "I get this question a lot. I have to say, Simu is just a friend of mine."

"No one ever believes me," she continued, adding, "He's so lovely. He's amazing."

Stause refrained from providing further detail, telling host Andy Cohen that Liu keeps his dating life private before reiterating, once again, that the Marvel actor is "just a friend."

After filming on "Selling Sunset" season four wrapped, the former "All My Children" actress confirmed her relationship with her costar Jason Oppenheim, the founder and president of The Oppenheim Group. However, they have since split.

Liu's "Selling Sunset" cameo can be traced back to Twitter.

Stause stumbled upon the Canadian actor's tweets about the show, telling Entertainment Weekly that she considered his interest in the series to be a "compliment." It just so happened that Liu was in the market for a new home.

"I was like, 'Um, I can help you with that,'" Stause recalled to the publication in November 2021.

Whenever the agent works with a celebrity, she said she asks if they're open to appearing on the Netflix show. There's no pressure, Stause clarified, assuring that she will still help them even if they ignore the question or shoot it down.

When she approached Liu about being featured on "Selling Sunset," she said he was immediately "enthusiastic."

"He was just such a pro," she said, later adding, "Normally, I have extra on my plate when I'm working with a celebrity and I'm trying to cater to them, but also need to cater to production and the limits that we have with filming, but he was just so lovely and so helpful."

The actor ended up buying a $6.8 million Los Angeles home, GQ reported in November 2021.

After filming "Selling Sunset," Stause and Liu reunited at E!'s People's Choice Awards in December 2021.

"Well look who I ran into!" the real-estate agent captioned an Instagram photo of herself backstage with the actor, who won best action movie star for his "Shang-Chi" performance.
