Whitney Rose and Justin Rose reportedly divorcing after 16 years

Whitney Rose, known for "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," and her husband Justin Rose are reportedly heading for divorce after more than 16 years of marriage. Multiple sources told Page Six that the couple is separated and has informed close friends and family about their marital unhappiness. One source indicated that the couple has stayed together primarily for their children.

Whitney, 39, and Justin, 58, married in November 2009. They share a 16-year-old daughter, Bobbie, and a 13-year-old son, Brooks. Justin also has three sons from a previous marriage. Recent reports suggest that persistent financial problems have significantly impacted their relationship. Justin lost his executive position at LifeVantage in 2022, a year after personal aspects of the couple's lives were featured on their reality show. His year of unemployment reportedly took a toll on their home life and marriage. Whitney also experienced a financial loss exceeding half a million dollars when her company, Sōl People, struggled, admitting on the show that the business's failure meant the couple had invested everything they had.

Whitney has repeatedly dismissed divorce rumors in the past, stating in January of the previous year that such stories had circulated for years and that Justin was not leaving. However, Justin's absence from a recent Instagram photo series by Whitney, which highlighted her family, children, friends, and recovery process as her summer joys, has drawn attention. Representatives for the couple and the television network Bravo have not yet responded to media inquiries regarding the matter.
