Selling The OC‘s Tyler Stanaland got close to Alex Hall during the most recent season of the series, but what viewers didn’t see may have been a whole different level of drama as the two were allegedly engaged in a long-term affair. Throughout Selling The OC season 1, Tyler and his ex-wife Brittany Snow’s marriage was a point of discussion for the Orange County Oppenheim Group. While Tyler was outwardly making it seem like his marriage was strong, the couple was facing difficulties within their relationship. After Selling The OC season 1 aired, they released a statement about their divorce to the surprise of the show’s viewers.
Tyler and Alex were the main source of drama in Selling The OC season 2. Though they were claiming to simply be friends throughout the season, it felt like it may be more to the agents at the O Group. Alex and Tyler’s relationship caused fights between several of the agents as the season went on. Though everyone was pushed to the conclusion that they were anything but romantic, the end of Selling The OC season 2 saw them in a steamy make-out. While they’ve denied a relationship, they may have been lying the whole time.

During the early episodes of Selling The OC season 1, Tyler and his O Group colleague Kayla Cardona were at a party that wasn’t being filmed for the series. Kayla, who’d had too much to drink, came on to Tyler and tried to kiss him despite knowing he was married at the time. When this got back around to the O Group offices, the agents were all mortified by Kayla’s actions. Though she was apologetic and immediately said she understood what she’d done was out of line, explaining herself directly to Tyler, the other agents took offense to her behavior, especially Alex.
At the time, Kayla tried to regain the trust of her fellow agents, which was met with varying results. She felt ostracized despite the fact that Tyler had forgiven her and shared that he’d even explained things to his wife, who understood nothing had happened. Alex and Polly Brindle were both outraged about the near-kiss, which felt off at the time. Tyler, who tried to play everything off as casual, did his best to make himself look innocent throughout the scandal, but looking back, it’s likely that he had more to do with the flirtation and near-kiss than it appeared.
Tyler & Brittany’s Marriage Potentially Ended Due To His Cheating

When Tyler and Brittany announced their divorce, it was a shock to Selling The OC viewers as they appeared happy throughout the season and on social media. Although a reason hasn’t been confirmed, the pair spoke about their divorce as though it was an amicable, friendly split. Brittany even shared on her Instagram that the pair would continue as “best friends” despite their marriage collapsing. While the divorce seemed amicable, it appears it may have been anything but.
There have been allegations that during Brittany and Tyler’s marriage, she wasn’t happy about his relationship with Alex. As explained by the Deux U podcast, it was shared that “Brittany had suspicions of Alex Hall because of pictures found of them together when they were married, but he told her Alex was unattractive to him.” While these are merely allegations, it’s definitely possible that Tyler and Alex’s relationship had been evolving throughout his time on Selling The OC season 1, which pushed Tyler into a bad place in his marriage. It would also explain why their divorce felt so abrupt.
Alex And Tyler’s Relationship Was Questioned On Selling The OC

As Selling The OC season 2 started, it was clear that Alex’s life had changed tremendously. His divorce wasn’t covered in depth in the series, though Tyler did share that the relationship had been difficult to end, but ultimately, he wanted someone who knew their next moves. Tyler confided in Alex about his feelings, and the pair were shown getting closer throughout the season. While they had already been close friends, having both grown up in the area and spending time together outside their mutual profession, their relationship evolved after Tyler’s divorce.
While Alex and Tyler were happy to be focusing on their friendship, many agents at the Oppenheim Group office found the nature of their relationship a bit off. After everything that had happened during Selling The OC season 1, Kayla found it odd that several of the agents who had ostracized her for her mistakes with Tyler weren’t doing the same to Alex. Others like Brandi Marshall, even confronted Alex about the nature of her relationship with Tyler, asking point-blank if they were more than friends. Though the relationship was called into question more than once, Alex and Tyler continually defended themselves, saying they were just friends.
Tyler Allegedly Had A Girlfriend During Selling The OC Season 2

With allegations of Tyler and Alex’s relationship swirling around the O Group, seeing their steamy make out during the Selling The OC season 2 finale wasn’t exactly surprising. Though many were taken aback by the fact that they were going so far, the groundwork had been there throughout the season. It’s possible that Tyler was hiding more than his feelings for Alex, though, as Selling The OC season 2 continued. According to Deux Moi, Tyler allegedly had a girlfriend aside from Alex during the filming of Selling The OC season 2 and season 3.
While these rumors aren’t confirmed, it’s possible that if Tyler was already in a relationship, his time with Alex was even more dangerous. The pair were building a close friendship that could’ve already been more throughout Selling The OC season 2, which looked bad to other agents already, and the idea that Tyler was also dating someone else makes it seem even worse. Although they are merely rumors, the idea that Tyler and Alex could’ve been cheating through multiple relationships is a scandalous notion worth investigating.
Alex And Tyler Have Denied A Relationship
Although Tyler and Alex shared a heated moment during the Selling The OC season 2 finale, they have denied any sort of romantic relationship between them at the moment. According to Tyler, the pair are still sorting through their relationship and hope to preserve their friendship before anything. Alex shared similar sentiments, making sure to mention that things will continue to be complicated on Selling The OC season 3. If Tyler was having an affair with Alex throughout two seasons of the series and two separate relationships, the fallout from the drama would be fascinating to watch.
