Justin Hartley was born on January 29, 1977, and is an American actor who has been glowing on our television sets for so many years.
He spent his childhood in the Midwest, attending Carl Sandburg High School, and later pursued his books at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the University of Illinois Chicago. Justin didn’t just coast through; he was into history and theater.
Justin’s breakout success came with the NBC daytime soap opera Passions, in which he starred as Fox Crane from 2002 to 2006. This led to his playing Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, on Smallville. If you were really into superheroes in the late 2000s, you definitely remember him.
Fast-forward to 2014, and Justin lands a role on The Young and the Restless as Adam Newman. He was so good that he got a Daytime Emmy nomination!
But it’s his portrayal as Kevin Pearson in This Is Us that lets everyone take note. If you haven’t seen this series, then you’re definitely missing out. It is a family drama that touches every single feel you have, and Justin’s character makes a major part of that magic happen. Since 2016, he has been playing Kevin. Take my word—he’s mind-blowing.
Recently, Justin starred in Tracker, a CBS action drama where he acted the role of a bounty hunter.

Girlfriend and Dating History
Lindsay Hartley (2003–2012)
Justin Hartley met Lindsay Korman on the set of the soap opera Passions in 2003. Their relationship developed from friendship, and he proposed to Korman in November 2003 after they had dated for a really short time. Hartley married Korman on May 1, 2004.
Shortly after the wedding, on July 3, 2004, their only child, daughter Isabella Justice Hartley, was born. Their family life appeared to be regular until, after eight years of marriage, Hartley and Korman parted ways due to irreconcilable differences. They divorced in 2012.
Although Hartley and Lindsay separated, both have remained on good terms, especially for the sake of their daughter. Lindsay has been quite appreciative of Hartley, calling him a solid man and a great father.
Chrishell Stause (2014–2019)
The love story of Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause really did start off rather cool back in October 2013. They met at a concert because of a mutual friend who set them up. They hit it off right away, talking throughout the night. Before the end of the night, Justin took Chrishell home, and he remembered to call her the following day. He later described their instant attraction, admitting that “I knew right away [and] was like, ‘Oh boy, here we go’.”
After being dated for nearly three years, Justin proposed to her in July 2016. It wasn’t long before they started planning their big day. They exchanged vows on October 28, 2017, at the beautiful Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. Chrishell was overjoyed and said, “They don’t make them any better than Justin, and I could not be more thrilled to officially be Mrs. Hartley.”
Their relationship was highly publicized by the media, especially when in January 2014 they made their red carpet debut together. Justin had just started to rise to prominence with This is Us by then. Chrishell likewise created sensations with her performance during Netflix reality series Selling Sunset that premiered in March 2019.
But theirs, like so many stories, had some tough chapters. In November 2019, Justin filed for divorce, and Chrishell found out via a text message. It would be a shock to her and to everybody else, too, since apparently there were no signs of trouble. Chrishell later opened up about it being tough and that she really needed closure.
Their breakup was highly publicized and unfolded on Selling Sunset. Chrishell spoke about the abruptness of the breakup, stating that Justin was impulsive whenever they had arguments. The divorce was finalized in February 2021, and both of them moved forward towards a new chapter in their lives.
Sofia Pernas (2020–Present)
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas share a very beautiful love story, developed over the years since first laying eyes on each other during the shooting of The Young and the Restless back in 2015. Here is an inside look into how their relationship blossomed from just being co-stars to a married couple.
It all started in April 2015 when Justin and Sofia worked together on The Young and the Restless. Justin played Adam Newman, while Sofia was cast as Marisa Sierras, his girlfriend. Their time together on the show was very short because Justin left in 2016, but they had created a huge impression on each other.
Fast forward to 2019, after news of Justin’s divorce from Chrishell Stause broke in November. He and Sofia, who had stayed close since soap opera days, finally met up. It wasn’t until later that they started dating, rekindling their connection.
By May 2020, the pair had been first spotted together in public ever since Justin’s separation. They were examined leaving a doctor’s office, leading to speculation that the two had been dating for weeks. Sofia quickly became known as a supportive partner, always seen doting on Justin.
In August 2020, they became more public-facing when Sofia posted an Instagram story featuring a man believed to be Justin. Right after, he posted a picture insinuating their growing closeness. More than friends—it was getting pretty apparent.
Things became official in January 2021 when Justin posted a New Year’s photo with Sofia on Instagram. The fans became ecstatic to see the two together, and the relationship only continued to nurture.
Justin and Sofia married secretly in March 2021. Sofia afterwards explained that their very first official date was one whole year after they had started seeing each other—just when the pandemic restrictions were easing. Sweet and perfect start of being husband and wife.
In the year 2024, Justin and Sofia are still married happily, both in life and in business. They both work together on a number of projects; he did some guest spots on Justin’s CBS show Tracker. Their relationship is held tight by the power of mutual support and shared experiences that help them go on as a couple.
