Whitney Rose has filed for divorce from husband Justin Rose after nearly 17 years of marriage, just months after reports that the couple were living separate lives and staying together only for the sake of their children.
The "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star quietly submitted the paperwork in Utah's Third District Court, Salt Lake Department, on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 — hours before she attended Page Six's second annual "Virtual Reali-Tea" Awards, Page Six exclusively revealed. Many documents filed within a divorce case in Utah are classified as private, but the outlet confirmed that Whitney also submitted a proposed parenting plan.
Representatives for the Roses and for Bravo did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Page Six had exclusively reported in July that Whitney, 40, and Justin, 58, were "living separate lives," with informants saying the pair were effectively fully separated. "They are never together, even when they're in the same place, like the gym," one insider said at the time. Sources told the outlet the couple — who wed in November 2009 — had each expressed "frustrations" about their marriage to trusted confidants, with one source claiming they were merely "existing" as a couple "for the sake of the kids."
Whitney and Justin share two children: daughter Bobbie, 16, and son Brooks, 13. Justin is also the father of three sons from his first marriage. The age gap between the spouses — 18 years — was a recurring storyline on the Bravo series, where their whirlwind romance and Whitney's conversion to Mormonism had played out on camera in the show's early seasons.
The filing adds to a wave of high-profile splits in the reality-TV world this month and marks the end of a marriage that has been under public strain for years. Season six of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" is expected to address the separation, with filming underway in Utah.
The split continues a turbulent chapter for the Salt Lake City franchise, which has built its reputation on cast members whose personal lives unravel in real time. Whitney joined the show in its first season, and her marriage to Justin — including their significant age gap and her conversion to the LDS church — was central to her storyline from the start. Whether the divorce plays out on camera remains to be seen, but Bravo has historically leaned into such storylines, and the upcoming season is widely expected to make the separation a focal point.
