Justin Hartley on married life with Sofia Pernas after Chrishell Stause divorce
The This Is Us actor, 44, tied the knot with the soap actress, 32, in March of this year, following his divorce from Chrishell Stause – which played out on season three of Selling Sunset.
They confirmed their nuptials during an appearance at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in May, donning wedding rings as they posed for pictures on the red carpet.
Chatting about their relationship in a new interview, he confirmed they are still well and truly in the honeymoon phase.
‘It’s incredible when you’re not forcing things. It doesn’t have to be that hard. You just meet the right person and you just go, “Oh, this is amazing. It’s just so wonderful!” You’re so attracted and so attached to this person. You just love this person so much. Even though we’ve only been married a few months, it’s hard to remember what it was like without her,’ he told Haute Living.
‘Everything is easier with her in my life. I also feel like I’m better at stuff. I learn from her. She speaks five languages. She’s brilliant, she’s incredible, she’s fun to look at. Everything about her is amazing – she’s just hilarious.
‘She inspires me to want to be a better man, like Jack Nicholson said in As Good as It Gets. I want to rise to the occasion because she’s so great. She does make me want to be a better person, and [this kind of love] certainly does complete me.’
Justina and Sofia first met on the set of The Young and the Restless in 2015, when he was in a relationship with Chirshell, and became friendly while working together.
But it wasn’t until they ‘re-met’ years later that things changed between them.
‘I feel loved and I feel appreciated. I know she feels the same way. We just have a really great relationship and a really terrific family. It’s healthy and it’s wonderful,’ he continued. ‘Timing has a lot to do with that. I’m very lucky to not only have found ‘the one,’ but I found her when she was available and the timing was right.’
Justin filed for divorce from Chrishell in November 2019, after two years of marriage.
Their split was a huge storyline in Selling Sunset, with the real estate agent moving on from their split in the latest season.
‘My ex-husband Justin is remarried to someone I know from back in the day, pretty well, and a lot of things made sense after finding that out,’ she told the camera at the time.
‘I wish them the best. You know, I think that it actually, if anything, it felt good to know that. It felt like a little bit of closure.’
Chrishell recently made headlines after announcing her split from boss Jason Oppenheim, following a six-month romance.
‘I have tried to embrace the world I have found myself in and that includes being open and honest about my relationships,’ she said in a lengthy statement on Instagram.
‘It felt scary and terrifying knowing that it may not end in what society deems a success and what I am ultimately looking for.
‘But after many long heartfelt talks I am choosing to see it as a success no matter what label is attached to it publicly.
‘Jason was and is my best friend and other than our ideas for family ultimately not being aligned the amount of love and respect we have for each other will not change going forward.’
