Jason Oppenheim has split from Jessica Vargas
The 48-year-old real estate agent and Jessica have called time on their romance, less than a year after confirming their relationship in April 2025 - but the former couple insist that they'll remain good friends.
19 February 2026
Jason - who owns the Oppenheim Group, an American real estate agent company - told People: "Jessica is the most beautiful woman I've ever met, inside and out, and while we won't be husband and wife, we will be best friends. Having her in my life is what matters most."
Jessica also echoed Jason's feelings.
She said: "Jason and I have a lot of love for each other, and that's not going anywhere. The best outcome for us is staying close and remaining in each other's lives as best friends.
"He's truly a gem of a human with the biggest heart, and I'm grateful for him."
The duo also addressed their split via social media.
Jason wrote on Instagram: "We're no longer boyfriend and girlfriend... but still love each other and still best friends (sic)"
Jason split from Paris-based model Marie-Lou Nurk back in 2023, and at the time, he insisted that he wouldn't rush into "any type of serious relationship".
The Selling Sunset star explained that he wasn't in a rush to find love.
Jason - who previously dated Chrishell Stause - told People: "I was casually dating someone in Vancouver for a little while, but that doesn't make a ton of sense being that we live in different countries and I tried that previously with Lou. So, I'm just single right now and not wanting to rush into any type of serious relationship, honestly."
Jason also insisted that he wanted "some time to [himself]" before he looks for love once again.
The reality TV star said at the time: "I have had two very serious relationships in the last few years, and I think I just want some time to myself."
