Chrishell Stause, the actress of Selling Sunset, found out on TMZ in November 2019 that her husband Justin Hartley was divorcing her. Soon after, the This Is Us actor discovered a new girlfriend, with whom he intends to spend the rest of his life.
At the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards, Justin and Sofia Pernas made their romance public by walking the red carpet together. The news of their wedding to the public soon followed.

Who is Justin Hartley Wife?
After TMZ released the divorce file in December 2020, Justin’s ex-wife claimed that she learned about the split for the first time. Justin claimed in the petition that he and Chrishell split up on July 8, 2019, which came as a surprise to Chrishell, who had believed that they were still together “right up until the day he filed,” which was in late November of 2019. Yikes.
Despite all the controversy, Justin has been caught on camera kissing a mystery woman who has been observed driving him to and from the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Los Angeles.
The stunning woman behind the wheel was later revealed to be Sofia Pernas, who played Justin’s co-star on The Young and the Restless. In addition, Justin and Sofia played on-screen lovers Adam Newman and Marisa Sierras, respectively, and their chemistry may have made viewers question whether or not they were watching a soap opera or real life.
Actually, Sofia is the third soap opera co-worker and wife for Justin. Lindsay Hartley (formerly Korman) was his first wife, and he and her met on the set of the NBC daytime serial drama Passions. They started dating in 2003, got married in 2004, had a kid in 2010, then split up in 2012. Chrishell and Lindsay both appeared on All My Children while Lindsay was still married to Justin.
Anyway, after being spotted for the first time in May of 2020, Sofia and Justin began making public appearances together on the red carpet, proving that their connection was more than summer love. At the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards, they were also photographed holding hands and kissing.
What wasn’t missed on people who closely analyzed the photographs of Justin and Sofia is that the This Is Us star was flaunting a gold band on his ring finger. Indeed, People reported right after the ceremony that Justin and Sofia had tied the knot.
Who is Sofia Pernas?
Pernas has also been on NBC’s The Brave in a starring role. On CBS’s Blood & Treasure, Lexi is presently playing the major character. Both her mother and father are from different countries: Morocco and Spain.
When she was five years old, her family made a big journey to the United States. She was raised in Orange County, California, by parents who spoke Spanish, German, and Arabic, thus she speaks four languages well. Pernas originally aspired to be a journalist but ended up doing modeling, and then acting.
Pernas has also been on The Young and the Restless (2015-2017) and Jane the Virgin (2016-2017) in addition to The Brave and Blood & Treasure. Pernas told Brief Take in 2019 that portraying strong female characters like her Blood & Treasure character Lexi has inspired her to improve as a person. “I think, and any actress who plays a strong female character would agree, it makes you stronger playing those characters,” she said. “Because my whole path, my journey of realizing who I am and staying tethered, and obviously having a big family, because I come from a big family and a conservative background, it’s been hard.”
She went on to say that it was tough to break through in Hollywood at first. “The journey as a young woman, finding acting and all of that stuff, it’s been a tough path,” she continued. “
But when you get to play women who have their wits about them and are grounded and indomitable and have that kind of moxie, it’s emboldening. It’s definitely empowering, and in this strange way, when you put on Lexi’s jacket or the pants, as soon as the costume comes together, you can kind of see it in your mind’s eye. I know who this woman is and it helps me.”
