Jason Oppenheim was absolutely certain: “love does not require height, color, or wealth; pure souls are enough”.


A lovely phrase for someone who fell in love in Mykonos, Greece, in July 2022, with Parisian model Marie-Lou Nurk, 25, while he ran a luxury real estate agency in Los Angeles and starred in ‘Selling Sunset’.

They made their public debut on the Netflix red carpet a month later, and everything looked like a fairy tale.

The problem is that pure souls cannot fix a 14-hour flight between Los Angeles and Paris. After ten months together, they announced their breakup in May 2023, amicably, blaming the distance.


And here comes the best part: Marie-Lou ended up engaged to French businessman Ronan Lebraut, and Jason found love much closer to home, in April 2025, with Jessica Vargas, an agent at his own office.
In the end, it turned out that something did matter: the ZIP code.
