Inside ‘Selling Sunset’ Star Emma Hernan’s Relationship With Her On-Again, Off-Again BF

Fans can't get enough of Netflix's Selling Sunset or its cast — including Emma Hernan. The blond beauty is the CEO of a successful food company called Emma Leigh & Co., a hardworking real estate agent, a former model, and a reality TV star.

She reportedly has a net worth of $3 million, and it doesn’t look like she’s slowing down anytime soon.

Emma's got a lot going on, but what about the romance department? Here’s what to know about Emma Hernan's dating life.

In Season 9 of Selling Sunset, viewers got the chance to dive even further into Emma's love life. That involved watching her relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Blake Davis, unfold. Emma and Blake dated during her time on Selling Sunset and have broken up more than once. However, she confirmed that their relationship was all the way on, something she told Us Weekly she wished her fans saw more of as she navigated rumors sparked by Nicole Young, who claimed she was sleeping with a married man during Season 9 of Selling Sunset.

"I was very grateful because he knew what happened and what they did to me," she told the outlet about Blake. "He was super upset and very supportive and felt awful for me."

"Especially because he went and filmed and put himself out there as well, and they cut everything," she added.

Initially, Emma didn't reveal her boyfriend's identity. However, she said Selling Sunset's producers didn't appreciate her putting her personal life out there.

"As it is, I’m not super comfortable showing my personal life and relationship.Then I go ahead, I do it, and regardless, your relationship is going to be judged,” Emma said. “I want people to connect with me and I want people to see my real life and know what I’m doing. Then they cut my real life and go to this life that has zero truth to it and then I don’t even know about it!”

In Season 5 of Selling Sunset, Emma started seeing a Texas-based project developer named Micah McDonald. Micah and Emma met when he was her client on the show. Although she wasn’t accustomed to dating someone she worked with (again), she took a chance on him due to their mutual attraction.

“I usually don’t mix business with pleasure, but Micah’s a little bit different,” she said after their first date. “We had like one or two meetings and I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ Not only is he attractive and successful and confident, but we actually have a lot in common."

Emma and Micah dated throughout Season 5 (which filmed in 2021), but their relationship reportedly ended around 2022. That May, the Netflix star confirmed Today that she was “single and dating” and “open to a relationship.” Though she never said if she and Micah were over, it sounds like she is back on the market.

Season 4 of Selling Sunset heavily focused on Christine Quinn and Emma Hernan's drama over a shared ex. The handsome gentleman they both previously dated was later identified as Peter Cornell, another real estate agent from the Oppenheim Group. He’s currently the director of the sports and entertainment division for the company.

Emma and Peter reportedly got engaged in 2017 and broke up in 2018 on good terms.

A source told Page Six: "There wasn’t any drama, and it just wasn’t a right fit, but they’ve been friends ever since." The relationship ended because they simply “grew apart.” The breakup reportedly went much smoother than Peter’s split from Christine, which Elite Daily shared happened when Christine spotted him with Emma while they were still together!

While Emma and Peter parted ways romantically, Selling Sunset fans hoped they might reunite. Just three months after Season 4 dropped, Emma and Peter were spotted together on Feb. 24, 2022, as seen in photos obtained by E! News. Immediately, fans wondered if the formerly engaged couple were back together. However, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the pair were not dating.

Several months after their outing, Peter and Emma proved they were still on good terms when they bought a house together in Los Angeles, Calif. While this isn’t the norm for some former couples, the real estate agents agreed the spot was too good to pass up. Emma confirmed the exes weren’t living in the house together, though they’ve discussed it.

“We bought it as an investment property,” Emma explained to Us Weekly in October 2022. “You know, at some point, there was the thought [of] maybe, will we move in together? Will we not? I think I’m very open about where he and I are and don’t always know. I’m very open about where he and I are.”

Emma confessed that her and Peter’s love affair might not be over. She also shared in her October 2022 chat with Us Weekly that the exes have a “complicated” relationship and that her engagement to Peter wasn’t “the right timing.”

“Am I going to end up with Peter? I don’t know,” Emma told the outlet. “But right now, it’s just a friendship and a business relationship, and we do a lot of business together. So, if you see us spotted out and about, it doesn’t mean we’re together.”
