Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas met on ‘The Young and the Restless’

Sofia Pernas joined Justin Hartley (Adam Newman) on The Young and the Restless set in 2015. She played Marisa Sierras, Adam’s nephew’s girlfriend, for about a year. Pernas shared behind-the-scenes photos on social media throughout her time on set. However, the two did not date while filming. 

Instead, Hartley dated Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause since January 2014. She joined the daytime soap opera shortly after Pernas left. The three actors remained friendly on social media. They often liked and commented on each other’s posts. Hartley and Pernas kept in touch after their time together on The Young and the Restless.

Chrishell Stause and Justin Hartley divorce

In November 2019, Hartley filed for divorce from Stause after only two years of marriage. He cited irreconcilable differences and told his wife through a text message. Stause said the divorce was sudden and unexpected. The actor stated his date of separation as July 2019, months before filing.

Selling Sunset Season 3 gave insight into her heartbreak and what happened after the couple split. They both went their separate ways, and the divorce was finalized on Feb. 8, 2021.

Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas began dating

In May 2020, the paparazzi photographed Hartley and Pernas kissing in Southern California. However, neither party responded publicly about the photo. On Jan. 1, 2021, the couple made their relationship Instagram official with a cute picture.

“Sayonara 2020, it’s been real,” Pernas captioned the photo. “Happy New Year from our quarantine den to yours.”

Since then, Pernas joined Hartley’s IGTV video for his Revel Spirits whiskey. She also posted a silly picture of Hartley for his birthday.

“Celebrating this man with my fav screengrab,” Pernas captioned another Instagram photo of Hartley. “That smile!!! Lights up my sky. Happy Birthday.”

Although the couple wasn’t spotted together until May 2020, many fans speculated that Hartley cheated on Stause with Pernas. According to Daily Mail, the Selling Sunset star liked several posts on social media that insinuated that Hartley cheated. The rumors were never confirmed.

Who is Sofia Pernas married to?

Social media buzzed with news of Sofia Pernas’ possible marriage to Justin Hartley over the weekend. The paparazzi spotted the couple on May 3, 2021, with wedding bands on their left ring fingers. They cuddled together on the beach on a beautiful day. Pernas’ ring is silver, while Hartley donned a red band on his finger. 

Fans cannot stop wondering when the couple tied the knot and if the rumors are true. It also begs the question about when Hartley and Pernas began dating. Was it before Hartley filed for divorce? The timeline is a little sketchy. The only thing we know for sure is that they were already dating in May 2020 when the paparazzi took that kissing photo. One year later, it looks like they are married.
