On September 11, 2024, the reality TV world was caught off guard by a romantic twist involving a familiar face from “Selling Sunset.” Marie-Lou Nurk, previously linked to the show’s star Jason Oppenheim, announced her engagement to French entrepreneur Ronan Lebraut in a captivating TikTok video.
The 26-year-old model shared footage of a dreamy proposal orchestrated by Lebraut, 47. The video begins with Nurk being whisked away on a boat ride, leading to a picturesque beach setting. “POV: Your boyfriend wakes you from your nap and tells you to dress in all white,” the video teases, building anticipation.
The beach was transformed into a romantic haven, with white flowers spelling “Will you marry me?” against the sand. Lebraut’s proposal was met with an enthusiastic “YES” from Nurk, followed by a warm embrace. The joyous moment was made even more special by the presence of their loved ones, who joined in the celebration.
This engagement comes just over a year after Nurk went public with her relationship with Lebraut in August 2023. At the time, she praised him as “the most amazing person I have ever met,” expressing profound gratitude for his presence in her life.
Nurk’s whirlwind romance with Lebraut follows her high-profile relationship with Jason Oppenheim, which ended in May 2023. The couple, who had a 21-year age gap, faced challenges due to long-distance issues, with Nurk dividing her time between Los Angeles and Paris.
Oppenheim confirmed their amicable split on social media, citing the geographical distance as the primary obstacle. “While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome,” he wrote, emphasizing their continued friendship and mutual support.
This engagement marks a new chapter for Nurk, showcasing how quickly life can change in reality TV and celebrity relationships. As fans of “Selling Sunset” process this news, it reminds them of the ever-evolving nature of love and relationships in the public eye.
