'Selling Sunset' Chrishell Stause Talks 'Last Attempt' At IVF Amid Infertility Struggles: 'If It's Meant To Be'
is not giving up on her dream of starting a family with her wife, .
The "Selling Sunset" star revealed that she recently resumed her in vitro fertilization journey after past failed attempts that left her heartbroken.
Stause, who lost her beloved pet dog months ago, confessed that she and G-Flip might consider other options if this IVF round fails.
In an Instagram Story update, the reality star informed fans she is now receiving IVF treatment. She shared a snap of pills and an injection alongside a candid message about her bittersweet feelings.
"Back on the IVF hell train. I think this may be my last attempt," she explained. "There are other alternatives, but this route needed to be tried first bc of timing."
The realtor continued, "So if it's meant to be, it will be. If not, pivot. Stause, however, didn't go into details about her other options. Concluding the post, she expressed her appreciation to fans for their support.
"Live footage of me reading all the beautiful supportive messages on the last slide, THANK YOU," she wrote alongside a still image of a character from the show "Twin Peaks."
Stause's Instagram Stories update comes after she and G-Flip got candid about their infertility struggles. The couple, who have been married for almost two years, have always wanted a family.
In a joint interview, the pair admitted the journey to becoming parents has been difficult, mainly because they are queer:
"We're in a situation where it's not easy to have kids. It's not like we can have one naturally. There are so many steps, there's so much planning, there are so many complications and things that can go wrong."
G-Flip seconded the sentiment, telling US Weekly that conceiving a child has "been very stressful" on their marriage. The Australian singer added, "Queer couples having kids, things not going your way, it's been pretty sad at times."
However, the disappointment isn't making them give up. "We're still on that road, and we've had a few setbacks. But we're just navigating and going through the process," Stause added.
Although the lovebirds are now on the same page about children. It wasn't always that way. The Netflix star knew she wanted to be a mother from the start, but the "About You" songstress had doubts.
"When we met, I was ready, and G wasn't," Stause told the publication. The lovebirds met in 2021 shortly after Stause ended things with her "Selling Sunset" co-star Jason Oppenheim because he didn't want children.
Luckily, the lovebirds were able to overcome the "hurdle", and G Flip changed their mind. Ever since, Stause says she has received nothing but support from her wife.
"This is the first time I feel really confident going through this journey," she said before praising Melbourne producer for their parenting skills. Stause noted that G-Flip is naturally good with kids, and it is something she always loved.
When G-Flip and Stause eventually become parents, they plan to raise their children in the singer's hometown of Australia. The "All My Children" alum called the country a "beautiful place" to raise a family.
As for why she thinks so, Stause noted that the nation's politics, health care, and school systems are favorable. It also helps that her wife's family is there. "There's not a lot of bullying culture there," she added.
However, the major concern for the 43-year-old is how America has become less progressive in recent times.
"America's going backward and Australia is becoming more progressive," she candidly explained. Australia feels a little bit more like a good decision as opposed to every headline we see here lately."
Back in March, Stause made headlines following the painful loss of her terrier mix, Gracie. The late pet, who often featured on "Selling Sunset," was adopted in 2016.
She paid a tear-jerking tribute to her furry loved one, recalling fond memories they shared. "Our beloved Gracie left us peacefully today," she wrote. "Thank you to anyone that was a friend to her and helped make her life here better. It's impossible to post a fraction of the joy this angel brought me."
In honor of Gracie, the realtor encouraged fans to adopt from the Burbank Animal Shelter, where she was gotten. "if you tell them Gracie's name, all adoption fees will be covered," Stause added.

Bill Skarsgård's ‘Nosferatu' Gets Prime Video Streaming Date
"Nosferatu" partial poster featuring Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård. Nosferatu — the 2024 horror hit starring Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult — is coming soon to Prime Video. Directed by Robert Eggers, Nosferatu opened on Dec. 25, 2024. The official logline for the movie reads, 'A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.' Skarsgård stars as the vampire Count Orlok in Nosferatu, while Depp plays Ellen Hutter, whom the vampire has been haunting in her dreams. Hoult plays Ellen's husband, Thomas Hutter, a real estate agent who is trying to thwart Orlok from preying on his wife. The film also stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Simon McBurney, Ralph Ineson and Willem Dafoe. Prime Video has announced that Nosferatu will join its streaming video on demand lineup on Friday, June 27. Viewers who don't have Prime Video can get the streaming service as one of the benefits of being an Amazon Prime subscriber for $14.99 or $139 per year. Prime Video-only subscriptions are also available for $8.99 per month. According to streaming tracker When to Stream, only the theatrical version of Nosferatu will be available on Prime Video when the film makes its SVOD debut on the platform on Friday. The extended cut of Nosferatu, which includes four minutes of additional footage is only available on the Peacock streaming service. Robert Eggers Contacted Bill Skarsgård About 'Nosferatu' After Seeing Him In 'IT: Chapter Two' Nosferatu director Robert Eggers said it was because of another horror role — Pennywise the Clown— that led him to pursue Bill Skarsgård to play Count Orlok. However, it wasn't Skarsgård's portrayal as the clown that inspired Eggers. 'It was [Bill's role] as Pennywise, but in IT: Chapter Two, when he played Pennywise as a middle-aged human man instead of a clown,' Eggers said in a Zoom conversation prior to the film's theatrical release. 'It just had a kind of darkness and depth that I really believed. 'So, that's when I emailed or texted Bill and said, 'Let's talk about Orlok.' I really wanted to work with Bill since I met him almost 10 years ago,' the filmmaker added. 'I cast him in The Northman in a supporting role but because of COVID, it didn't happen. He was always on my mind.' Nosferatu received awards season recognition for films released in 2024, largely in the technical categories. The film earned nominations for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Best Production Design for the 97th Academy Awards; and received nominations in the same four categories and a Best Original Score nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards. Nosferatu begins streaming on Prime Video on Friday.

Today's Quordle Hints (and Answer) for Sunday, June 22, 2025
If you're looking for the Quordle answer for Sunday, June 22, 2025, read on—I'll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Beware, there are spoilers below for June 22, Quordle #1245! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today's Quordle game. (If you play Wordle, Connections, and Strands, check out our hints for those games, too.) How to play Quordle Quordle lives on the Merriam-Webster website. A new puzzle goes live every day. If you've never played, it's a twist on The New York Times' daily Wordle game, in which you have a limited number of attempts to guess a five-letter mystery word. In Quordle, though, you're simultaneously solving four Wordle-style puzzles, and each of your guesses gets applied to the four puzzles simultaneously. Due to the increased difficulty, Quordle grants you nine guesses (12 if you play on 'Chill' mode, or eight if you play on 'Extreme'), rather than Wordle's six. To start, guess a five-letter word. The letters of the word in each of the four quadrants will turn green if they're correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn't in that secret word at all. Ready for the hints? Let's go! Can you give me a hint for today's Quordle? Upper left: To take (control) Upper right: A sensation taking over the nation! Lower left: Relating to Vatican City Lower right: A former brand of Toyota Does today's Quordle have any double or repeated letters? Upper left: No. Upper right: No. Lower left: Yes, one repeated vowel. Lower right: No. What letters do today's Quordle words start with? Upper left: W Upper right: C Lower left: P Lower right: S What letters do today's Quordle words end with? Upper left: T Upper right: E Lower left: L Lower right: N What is the solution to today's Quordle? Upper left: WREST Upper right: CRAZE Lower left: PAPAL Lower right: SCION How I solved today's Quordle I start with SLATE and MOUND, then turn my attention to the upper right. I'll try GRAPE. Close. It could be CRAZE. Yep. The upper left might be TREES. Not quite. I think it has to be WREST. Yes. I think the bottom right might be SONIC. Nope! The O can't be in second position; that was silly. SCION's the only option. One guess left. I'll try APPLY. Dang, it was PAPAL. Oh well. The best starter words for Quordle What should you play for that first guess? We can look to Wordle for some general guidelines. The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that's still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn't a single 'best' starting word, but The New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these: CRANE TRACE SLANT CRATE CARTE Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these: SALET REAST TRACE CRATE SLATE Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out.
