Hartley & Stause’s relationship
Chrishell Stause & Justin Hartley confirmed dating rumors in 2014. Three years of dating led to Stause & Hartley announcing their engagement, followed by a fairytale wedding. In 2016, Hartley’s career skyrocketed with the release of NBC’s This Is Us.
Following Hartley’s obvious success, Stause joined the glamorous cast of Selling Sunset in 2019 with her new career as a real estate agent. Hartley & Stause’s success was something to be admired as well as their seemingly happy lives together.
Things took a turn when it was revealed Hartley had filed for divorce. Stause was utterly blindsided by the divorce. She discussed what possibly led to Hartley’s decision. “We had a fight that morning over the phone, and I never saw him since. We didn’t talk things through, and before we had a chance to figure anything out, he filed.”
Could this have been the straw that broke the camel’s back?
Love is dead?
Selling Sunset season 3 ended with Chrishell Stause, heartbroken & alone, trying to come to terms with recent news of her divorce. Justin Hartley filed for divorce in November 2019 and allegedly informed Stause via text. 43-year-old Hartley was then spotted kissing Sofia Pernas in May of this year.
This isn’t the first of Stause’s relationships to crumble. Being in the public eye can come with a lot of upsides and a lot of downsides. One of the downsides is the lack of a private life. Glee star Matthew Morrison was engaged to Chrishell until the pair decided to call it quits.
Chrishell Stause was known for her work as an actress prior to the real estate career shown on the Netflix reality show Selling Sunset. Previously, Stause starred in All My Children and Days of our Lives. Things aren’t all doom and gloom for the agent. Stause is now performing on Dancing with the Stars alongside other celebrities.

The recent news hasn’t kept Stause down for long. It appears that she’s open to dating again after a year of being single.
“It’s been almost a year, so I’m excited to get back out there. I’m a hopeless romantic, so I think it can still happen. It’s 2020, maybe you could meet your person through an Instagram DM. I don’t know. Crazier things have happened!”
Stause has even taken extra precautions ten months after the divorce. The Selling Sunset star revealed that she’s “taken the steps to freeze my eggs” and hopes to find her happily ever after. Remaining optimistic, Stause shared her thoughts on moving on. “Everything happens for a reason. I’m grateful for the twists and the turns, as painful as they’ve been.”
