If there’s one thing absolutely nobody can deny, it’s that Netflix’s ‘Selling the OC‘ star Gio Helou is one of the most competitive, intense, over-the-top, and proud realtors at the Oppenheim Group. However, despite the fact many of this generational agent’s co-workers have openly referred to him as challenging, he has rarely directly been engaged in interpersonal drama or office politics. In fact, the only time he did go head to head with someone was when his wife Tiffany was involved, making us all wonder more about their relationship as well as their familial standing as a whole.
Gio and Tiffany Have Been Together For More Than a Decade
Although Gio first came across Tiffany in high school, they only got involved in their mid-20s — since at least 2013 — while they were still figuring out where they stood in this expansive world. They’ve thus helped one another grow as not just individuals but also professionals; he followed in his mother’s footsteps, whereas she’s a publicist, interior designer, as well as fitness enthusiast. Though arguably the most beautiful thing between this duo over the years has been how they’ve unwaveringly supported one another no matter what, ultimately leading to their engagement in 2019.
According to Tiffany’s social media accounts, Gio actually proposed while they were enjoying a romantic getaway at Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection in Napa Valley just before the start of fall. Then, by the end of the year, the latter conceded he was deeply thankful for his partner because she stuck by him even when he didn’t deserve it owing to mistakes, vowing to cherish her forever. It turns out the couple soon planned to make these promises official; they tied the knot on August 8, 2020, in a beautifully intimate, near-ocean ceremony at The Inn in Laguna Beach, California.
Gio and Tiffany have since admittedly been enjoying married life while also progressing in their respective careers; yet again, their support for one another has never once swayed even an inch. This much is perfectly evidenced in season 1 of the Netflix original production, especially through the former’s reaction when he believed his colleague Alex Hall had snubbed Tiffany at an event. Then there was a casino night she helped organize, alongside his 100 million in sales celebration in season 2, all the while helping him through his parents’ divorce plus the selling of his childhood home.
But alas, things did change between seasons 2 and 3 as Gio asserted in the latter that although they were in an incredib ly exciting phase of their life, they were more disconnected than ever. That’s because while Tiffany was pregnant with their first child, he was drifting away and partying owing to his internal fear of not being a good enough father, resulting in their decision to start couples counseling. This is obviously something very personal and vulnerable to the couple, yet they still chose to share details of the same in the hopes of letting others know they’re not alone in their struggles.
Are Gio and Tiffany Still Together?
“Marriage isn’t always easy (duh),” Gio penned in a remarkably candid post in June 2023. “It can be the hardest thing in the world sometimes. Maybe it’s supposed to be because it’s that important. Tiff and I have been going through a tough time and decided to start marriage counseling. I wanted to share this because I think it’s important we don’t feel alone with our problems. The versions of ourselves we share on social media can make one feel otherwise (I’m most guilty of this!). “I’ve made a lot of mistakes and would do some things differently. I don’t know how she puts up with me.”
Gio then added, “I’m so grateful for this woman, my partner, and my wife. You and our life together are worth everything. ILYSM.” Then, in the comments, Tiffany actually responded, “You have my whole heart for my whole life, and I thank God for you every single day. I love you forever and always ❤️,” making it clear the couple was determined to get through this dark phase as one unit. In fact, it was only after this that they announced the publicist-designer was pregnant with their child; a son, Teddy, born on September 16, 2023.
In other words, despite the fact Gio and Tiffany have experienced more than their fair share of issues in the decade or so they’ve shared a connection, they’re still going strong and doing their best to remain this way. The truth is they don’t really have a secret to success as things do get hard, yet they indicate communication, understanding, as well as trust are the primary aspects you need to make any relationship work. Their social media platform is actually proof of the same; it actually indicates that no matter what they’re going through, they always make sure to show up for one another in support, which helps them maintain their romance in the long run.
