So, is the Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall situation purely platonic, or have the co-workers taken things up a notch?
Selling the OC season 2 is headed for our screens on Friday, September 8, and we're banking on some drama in the love department, particularly from Stanaland, who called it quits with his wife, actress Brittany Snow shortly after the debut series landed on Netflix in 2022. Though "irreconcilable differences" were to blame for their divorce, we suspect that the almost-kiss with Kayla Cardona and his flirty office behavior caught on camera didn't help matters.
Snow opened up in an interview with Bustle about the struggle she faced following her split, without naming Stanaland directly.
"In the past year I went through probably the hardest mental health challenge I've ever faced," she told the outlet. "In one day, in a matter of hours, my life turned completely upside down. I was blindsided and everything I thought I knew, held sacred and truly trusted in my life was completely different."
Stanaland has seemingly been attempting to move on in the wake of his divorce, and he's sparked a few dating rumors since parting ways with Snow...
Are Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall dating?
In late 2022, Stanaland and Hall were caught getting quite comfortable with one another at the opening of Nobu Dubai at Atlantis The Palm. In an interview with People, Hall denied that anything romantic was happening...at least not yet.
"We were literally at our favorite sushi restaurant right by the office and somebody snapped a picture on their iPhone of us," she told the outlet. "And we were out with more than just us."
But when she further began to justify the flirty outing, things got a little sus with the "at this point we're just friends" line. Could she be holding out hope for something more?
"His close friends know a little bit more about his personal life than the audience knows. So anybody in their right mind, I mean, who do you call when you're going through issues? You call your friends. I think people really want to hold onto that idea that there's something there between Tyler and [I]. I mean, at this point, we're just friends, so there's nothing more to it," she further revealed to People.
Then, in early 2023, Stanaland was caught hopping around California with an unidentified woman, and he even took to Instagram Stories to post their hike, which included the woman in pink workout clothes flipping the bird. Since then, it's been relatively quiet for the realtor. At this point in time, if Stanaland is getting serious with someone, he's allegedly keeping things under wraps. Perhaps we will find out more in the coming weeks.
Things are definitely going to be interesting when season 2 arrives on Netflix. In the words of head honcho Jason Oppenheim, "Let's remember, this is a small town. Reputation matters."
Who knows if his staffers were listening during that desk-side chat...
