Ring the bell, because Selling The OC season two (finally!) premiered on Friday, September 8. If you’ve made the delectable, drama-filled real estate reality show your binge-watch of the weekend, you may already be wondering what comes of that hot tub kiss between a certain two agents. Yup, there’s a potential new O Group couple: Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall.

ICYMI, Tyler has been vocal about his ongoing divorce with Pitch Perfect actress Brittany Snow throughout the new season. Meanwhile, Alex has been there to offer her support. They claim that their relationship is purely platonic to multiple other O Group agents, but any viewer can see that some pretty obvious sexual tension has been building up between them.

With Tyler’s divorce not yet finalized (as of filming), it’s obviously not the most opportune time for him to start a relationship. But, hey, the heart wants what it wants—and what it wanted in the season finale was a super steamy kiss in a hot tub with a hot coworker. So, are Tyler and Alex an official couple after locking lips, or are they just friends who happen t make out sometimes (see: Polly and Tyler)? Here’s what to know about the current status of Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland’s relationship.

Is Tyler officially divorced now?

Yes. Tyler and ex-wife Brittany Snow finalized their divorce in July 2023, according to People. The couple got married in March 2020, and were together for a little over two years before announcing their separation in September 2022.

“This decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another,” Tyler wrote in a statement on Instagram last year, per US Weekly. “We have realized we need to take some time and make sure we are each living our most fulfilling and authentic lives.”

Is Alex Hall divorced?

Yes. Throughout her appearances on Selling The OC, Alex Hall has alluded to her ex-husband, to whom she was married for seven years, per Distractify. Other than clarifying that she shares two children with him, Alex has remained mum about her previous marriage.

However, this past season, Alex was able to help Tyler through the emotions of his own divorce proceedings, as she had been through it before.

How did Tyler and Alex’s relationship progress in season 2?

Dedicated Selling the OC fans will know that Alex and Tyler go way back—like all the way to high school—so their relationship already has tons of history. The pair shared a lot of sweet moments throughout this season, including many emotional conversations about Tyler’s divorce.

Then, in the final episode, Tyler gets deep and confesses his feelings for Alex. “You’ve been there to support me and laugh with me and cry with me. Then, ultimately I find myself thinking about you,” Tyler says in the episode. “I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about us being more than friends.”

Alex doesn’t hold back on presenting her reservations about pursuing a relationship with Tyler. She reasons that she’s a professional business woman and a mom, so she isn’t looking for something casual.

Nonetheless, the sexual tension is pretty undeniable, and Tyler goes in for a kiss. The two share a very passionate moment, and then the episode just ends!

So… are Alex Hall and Tyler dating now?

While it’s unclear what exactly went down after that kiss, “obviously, [the relationship] changed because we kissed,” Alex told Women’s Health. “He poured his heart out. I am not made of stone, [so] things changed.” Still, despite those changes, Alex added that she has “no regrets” about what happened in season two.

“It’s a funny thing to explore in any circumstance—let alone within an office—and I think you kind of see that all happen. But, you know, we’re still here. We’re still really good friends,” Tyler told the publication. “And I think, if anything, that that has kind of brought us closer, which is funny.”

Tyler also recently said the pair were “still navigating” the aftereffects of the kiss. “I think we’re still navigating our friendship,” he told US Weekly. “We remain really close friends, and I don’t have an answer [on where we stand] for you at the moment.”

So, while it doesn’t seem like Alex and Tyler are together anymore, rumors have been circulating about their budding relationship for several months, so they may have even dated and broken up already.

Ultimately, the O Group agents’ lips are sealed—for now.

Selling The OC season three “will give you a better idea of what happened [after the kiss], and the ins and outs,” Alex said. “…I think you’ll get your answers.”

When does Selling The OC Season 3 come out?

In January 2023, Netflix confirmed that there will be a Selling The OC season 3, but it’s still unclear when exactly it will premiere. Based on comments the cast members shared with Women’s Health, it seems the season may have already begun filming.

However, if the series follows its previous release timeline, the next season probably won’t come out until some time next summer—around August or September 2024. Only then, will fans know once and for all what is the deal with Alex and Tyler.
