  • Nicole Young has known Oppenheim founder and president Jason Oppenheim for 15 years, and apparently once dated him, according to her co-cast member Amanza Smith
  • The former marketing consultant, who has sold US$100 million worth of property, initially agreed to join the show in its inaugural season, but got cold feet – now she’s joining seasons 6 and 7

Hit reality TV show Selling Sunset is finally back for its sixth instalment on Netflix! Last we heard, our favourite property agent Christine Quinn, the glamorous villain, had been fired from the Oppenheim Group and consequently left the show.

Fortunately for viewers, the producers have brought in two new faces to the high-end property brokerage, Nicole Young and Bre Tiesi, who are set to shake up the show’s dynamics.

After five seasons of tension between Quinn and cast member Chrishell Stause, there still seems to be no rest from drama for the latter. The trailer for season six, which aired on May 19, already showed glimpses of tension between Stause and newbie Young, who is ready to step into Quinn’s shoes.

But just who is Young? Here’s what we know about her.
