Selling the OC’s Austin Victoria is pumped for his costar and friend Tyler Stanaland’s new reality away from the cameras.
“I’m glad that he was able to disconnect, find true love, and now he has his biggest wish in the world, which is becoming a father, starting a family, having a wife that he truly connects with,” Austin, 35, exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Shopbop Newport pop-up shop VIP opening on Wednesday, June 3. “I can’t be happier for him. I’m so stoked for him.”
After Selling the OC season 4 premiered in November 2005, Tyler, 36, married Hannah Morrissey at the Surf & Sand Laguna Beach hotel.
Last month, the couple announced they were expecting their first baby.
“When I heard the news, I texted him, and I was like, ‘This is what we always spoke of in the show,’” Austin recalled to Us while visiting the Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach, California. “He’s like, ‘I want what you have. I want a wife. I want kids. I want that whole thing.’ Finally, he has it.”
As a dad of three children with his wife, Lisa Victoria, the Oppenheim Group agent knows a thing or two about parenthood.
When asked to share his best advice with Tyler — who was previously married to actress Brittany Snow — Austin warned his friend that time flies when you’re having fun.
“Take it day by day, it just goes by so fast. People tell you that over and over and over,” he said. “They’ll never be this age again. Skip that meeting if your kid needs you. You can always make money again, but you can’t go back to that moment.”
With filming for Selling the OC put on pause, Austin has even more time to spend with his three kids. He also has time for fashionable date nights with his wife.
On Wednesday night, the pair stepped out in Frame denim as they celebrated the Shopbop Newport pop-up shop, open June 4 through 7 at The Shore at Lido Marina Village.
The pop-up also comes in the middle of the Newport Beach TV Fest, which is expected to include appearances by Mindy Kaling, Andy Cohen, Sebastian Maniscalco and more.

Although Austin admitted to feeling “shock” when he learned that Selling the OC wouldn’t immediately be coming back for season 5, he’s filled with gratitude to be part of the Netflix reality show.
“I can’t be mad that we got four seasons. I thought we’d be done after one,” he said. “It was a little bit of a shock, because Jason [Oppenheim] did tell us all that we would be getting season 5 and 6, 150 percent. … But it was fun. I can’t be mad at anything. The whole experience was just a blessing.”
Selling the OC is streaming now on Netflix.
