Whitney Rose has filed for divorce from her husband, Justin Rose, after nearly 17 years of marriage, according to court documents filed on Tuesday, October 6, in Salt Lake City’s Third District Court. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, 40, submitted the paperwork in a move that confirms what had long been implied by both her on-screen demeanor and off-camera reports. The couple, who married in 2009, share two children: daughter Bobbie, 16, and son Brooks, 13. Justin, 58, is also the father of three sons from a prior relationship. While the full details of the filing remain sealed under Utah law, sources confirm Whitney included a proposed parenting plan in her submission. Public records do not reveal the specific grounds for the split, but multiple insiders point to financial stress as a major contributing factor. Justin was let go from his executive role in 2022, and their subsequent skincare venture failed in 2025 — a loss Whitney described as a key source of strain during Season 7 of the show. In Episode 2, aired September 23, she admitted she’d turned to alcohol to cope with emotional pain at home. ‘Instead of dealing with my emotions, I was using alcohol to cope with my struggles at home,’ she said. She added that disagreements over the business had escalated into daily arguments about trivial matters, even what to eat. ‘If I answer it wrong, he’s mad at me. If he insinuates something, I’m mad at him. And there’s no resolution,’ she said. ‘So as scary as it is, space away from Justin is what I need.’ Since July, the couple have reportedly been living apart, though they’ve maintained a public front for their children. One insider told Just Jared they were never truly together, even when physically present in the same space. Like at the gym. Another said they were merely ‘existing’ as a married pair, holding things together only for the kids. The new season of RHOSLC is currently airing on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Pacific and streaming the next day on Peacock. No mention of the split is expected until filming resumes for Season 8, where the fallout could become a central storyline. For now, the silence speaks louder than any episode ever could.
