More than four years after meeting on set, Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas found love after heartbreak.
News broke in November 2019 that the This Is Us alum filed for divorce from Chrishell Stause after two years of marriage. While he listed their date of separation as July 8, 2019, the Selling Sunset star marked the end of their marriage as November 22, 2019, the same day Hartley filed the paperwork.
“The divorce filing was a big surprise to everyone around Justin and Chrishell in terms of their friends,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, noting that the actor “had been having problems with the marriage for a while.”
Stause, for her part, claimed on her Netflix reality show that she was blindsided by the filing.
“I’m just kind of in shock with it all,” she said in the season 3 teaser. “It’s just a lot all at once because everybody in the whole world knows. I love him so much. This was my best friend. Who do I talk to now?”
Hartley was previously married to Lindsay Korman from 2004 to 2012. They share daughter Isabella. Following his divorce from Stause, he moved on with Pernas — with whom he previously starred on The Young and the Restless — in May 2020.
