Reality Star Emma Chooses Love Over Friendship on Selling Sunset

In the latest season of the reality show Selling Sunset, which premiered on Netflix on October 28, 2025, 33-year-old Emma found herself at the center of a personal drama that strained her friendship with costar Chrishell, 44.

Emma revealed that her relationship with Blake had affected her close bond with Chrishell, saying she had been "holding on to a friendship" and worried about outside opinions. However, as the relationship progressed, Emma decided to be open about her choice, explaining, "If it works, it works and if it doesn't, it doesn't. But I don't want to have any regrets that I cared what other people thought."

The animosity between Chrishell and Emma's boyfriend Blake was a major storyline this season. Chrishell had previously accused Blake of using a racial slur and mocking pronouns, but Emma defended him, stating the comments were made two years ago and he was simply unfamiliar with the sensitivity around pronouns. Despite the tension, Emma expressed hope that she could facilitate a conversation between the two in the future, as she cared deeply for both of them.

As for her own relationship, Emma revealed she would be open to moving to the East Coast with Blake, though he has not yet proposed. She chose to be vulnerable and share her real-life relationship with viewers this season, hoping they would see the authentic side of her.
