Emma Hernan has had to defend her relationship with Blake Davis since they offered a glimpse into their dynamic on Selling Sunset. The real estate agent's personal life was a major topic of conversation before Selling Sunset returned for season 9 in October 2025. Emma was previously accused by Nicole Young of being with a married man, which she denied in 2024. At the time, Emma confirmed she was in a serious relationship with an unnamed man. By season 9, Emma's costar Chrishell Stause made it clear she wasn't a fan of her then-friend's boyfriend.
