Stause and Morrison first got together in 2006, and he popped the question a year later. However, they split shortly after when Morrison broke off the engagement. “When I was 27, I proposed to my then girlfriend, but I didn’t do it for the right reasons; we’d been going out for a year or so, and I felt under pressure from society,” he explained to Cosmopolitan in 2013, per Us Weekly. “I was thinking, ‘This is the age when I should probably start having kids, so this is what I should do.’ But after I did it, I immediately felt in my heart it wasn’t right. My instant thought was ‘What did you just do?'”
Years later, Stause appeared to throw some serious shade at Morrison when she referenced her ex in the first season of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.” “I didn’t know who I was at 25,” she said on the show, per Bustle. “And I didn’t know what I wanted because actually, if I ended up with the person I was with when I was 25, I would want to kill myself . . . Yeah you can Google that! You were a d*ck! Sorry!”
Later, in her memoir “Under Construction,” she wrote that the pair have crossed paths a few times since their breakup and they can “laugh about it all now,” per ET Canada. She also noted that when she was dating Morrison, she “didn’t fully understand what a healthy, solid relationship looked like, even though, of course, I thought I did.”
