On November 22, 2019, shortly after Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause’s second wedding anniversary, the former officially filed for divorce citing nothing but “irreconcilable differences.”
However, avid fans of the LA-based reality show will remember that Chrishell was left pretty blindsided when her husband announced their divorce to the world back in 2019.
According to Chrishell, Justin’s decision to file for divorce came out of the blue – and via a text. The actress was “blind-sided” and distraught, scenes of which played out on Selling Sunset. Justin filed for divorce in November 2019 citing “irreconcilable differences”, although he listed the date of their separation as July.
Justin officially filed for divorce from Chrishell in November 2019 after two years of marriage, per Us Weekly. He cited “irreconcilable differences” and said that they had separated on July 8.
Who said it’s hard to watch people change right in front of you?
In December 2019, Chrishell Stause posted a curious quote by author Nishan Panwar on Instagram, which read, “It’s hard to watch people change right in front of you. But it’s even harder remembering who they used to be.” Coming so soon after Justin Hartley filed for divorce, fans instantly read Stause’s post as implying that her ex-husband had unexpectedly changed. And while it’s entirely possible that the quote is in reference to something else, it certainly seems as though Stause had been reflecting on the end of their relationship.
Meanwhile, another insider elaborated to the publication, “Chrishell is really ready to just settle down and be a wife and stay-at-home mom.”.
Considering the fact Chrishell Stause apparently learned that Justin Hartley was filing for divorce from TMZ, it’s possible that the actor made a rash decision. Of the seemingly quick split, a source told the Daily Mail, “People close to Justin and Chrishell are completely shocked by Justin filing for divorce. The couple has always been incredible with no signs of things being on the rocks.” As such, many were left wondering whether Hartley really thought this decision through. Per the Daily Mail ‘s insider, “Friends are speculating this was an impulse on Justin’s side due to something that happened, and are hopeful the couple can work things out.”
Per ET ‘s insider, Chrishell — who reportedly stopped following Pernas on Instagram — is reportedly “upset” over Hartley’s new relationship, “but she understands they both need to move on.” The plot thickens.
The former soap star was also quick to explain that rewatching the breakup would be particularly difficult, because she’s still very much in love with Hartley. “I obviously really, truly love him, and it’s unfortunate the way that everything happened and the timing of everything,” Stause said. “… I still had a month to plot shooting the show when this all went down.” As most people can relate, Stause hopes that she will be able to be civil with her ex-husband in the future, telling Entertainment Tonight, “Hopefully, we can get to a place where, one day, we will look back at this and laugh. I don’t know, hopefully. It’s very unfortunate and relationships are hard.”
As we all know only too well, relationships can be difficult to sustain at the best of times. Although Chrishell Stause was unaware that her husband was about to file for divorce in such a public way, she admitted that romance isn’ t always easy. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight about having to relive the split when Season 3 is released, Stause revealed, “It’s obviously not something that I am looking forward to but it does follow our real life … When it gets to the bad, I am going to go under a rock and I am going to go off the grid.”
While it would seem that Hartley sadly found the exes’ supposed problems insurmountable, it’s still not totally clear why the This Is Us star filed for divorce from Stause, at the time of this writing, considering he’d simply cited irreconcilable differences. But for whatever reason, sources allegedly close to the former couple have continued to suggest that Stause and Hartley’s love story wasn’t the fairy tale romance it might have seemed. As a source cited by People alleged, “In many ways, they’re somewhat fundamentally incompatible.”
