Bre Tiesi’s Ex-Husband Johnny Manziel Acknowledges He Cheated During Marriage in Emotional Selling Sunset Cameo

This post contains spoilers for season 8 of Selling Sunset.

Bre Tiesi and her ex-husband Johnny Manziel are putting their rocky past behind them.

During season 8 of Selling Sunset (which premiered on Sept. 6), the Oppenheim Group agent explains that she’s helping the former NFL star find a new house — despite their complicated history together. 

“My ex-husband Johnny Manziel reached out because he’s looking for a house in L.A. I’m going to help him find something but we’re going to make sure he lives very far from me,” Tiesi jokes during a confessional clip in episode 6.

As the two exes tour a $4 million house, they end up having a heart-to-heart while looking at the outdoor space of the property. 

“Life goes the way that it’s supposed to go,” Manziel tells his ex. “You are in a position now where you got exactly what you wanted in life. And I’m proud of you for that and I’m happy for you.”

He continues, “I learned a lot about what I handled wrong. I was a lost, depressed kid running around the Hollywood Hills getting drunk every night and living in a nightclub. And a lot of time behind your back probably.” 

Tiesi cuts in, “Oh you spent a lot of time with someone else on their back, but yes it’s fine," referencing infidelity during their marriage.

Earlier in episode 5, she opens up to fellow agent Chelsea Lazkani about how an ex cheated on her with “multiple women” when they were together.

The former quarterback then starts laughing and nods his head. 

“Yes, Bre, yes. Yeah, I know,” he agrees.

He adds, “And I still feel bad to this day about treating you like that. Getting -

divorced after we broke up was one of the hardest points in my life, and I cried and I begged and I pleaded.”

The scene cuts to another confessional-style clip in which Tiesi processes the apology her ex just gave her.

“I’m happy to hear that J can recognize the hell that he put me through. That tells me that at least the effort I put in is recognized and it’s not all completely in vain,” she says. “Johnny is like Peter Pan, he just never wants to grow up. So we’re gonna let him stay in his little fairytale land.”

Tiesi and Manziel were married for one year before they split in March 2019.

Speaking out about the end of his marriage to TMZ Sports, Manziel said at the time that their separation was “all very personal and very sad.” Their split came after a source told PEOPLE that the couple had “hit a rough patch” when Tiesi believed he had been cheating on her.

Manziel, who played for the Cleveland Browns, was fired by his agent and released by the team in 2015 due to his struggles with sobriety. He has been open about his addiction and past suicide attempt in Netflix's Untold documentary series.

Both exes have since moved on with new partners. The former football star went Instagram official with his new girlfriend, model Josie Canseco, in April, while Tiesi welcomed a son, Legendary Love, with Nick Cannon in July 2022.
