How Chrishell Stause and G Flip Are Leaning on Each Other amid IVF (Exclusive)

G Flip is revealing how they and partner Chrishell Stause are supporting one another during their in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey.

The Australian musician, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, tells PEOPLE that the experience has been challenging — and at times “so tough.”

“For anyone going through IVF — queer or straight couples or anyone not even in a couple, just even on their own — it’s such a hard thing,” says G Flip (whose real name is Georgia Flippo). 31. “And we’re experiencing the real kind of sad and dark periods of this moment, where it’s like, a little bit of good news, a lot of bad news, a little bit of hope, no hope.”

The “Big Ol’ Hammer” artist says that it’s a “real up-and-down thing.”

“In the end, you’ve got to lean on each other and be there for each other, and come out of it still a unit and try not to let it break the relationship or break people individually,” adds G Flip.

They add: “I really feel for anyone who’s going through it, and I have friends going through it, and God, it’s really sad. It’s very grim.”

In June, Stause, 44, revealed she was beginning another round of IVF — but it might be her final try.

“Back on the IVF hell train. I think this may be my last attempt,” the Traitors star wrote over a photo on her Instagram Stories, which featured some of her medication.

She continued: “There are other alternatives, but this route needed to be tried first bc of timing. So if it’s meant to be it will be. If not, pivot ♥️.”

Stause included a second photo on her Stories, sharing her gratitude for her fans’ support during the process.

“Live footage of me reading all the beautiful supportive messages on the last slide,” she wrote over a still from Twin Peaks. “THANK YOU🙏🏻.”

G Flip and Stause have been married since May 2023.

G Flip’s new album Dream Ride is out now.
