Whitney Rose became widely known through “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” but her separation from her partner, Justin Rose, has also drawn attention. Now, the reality TV personality has brought that chapter back into the spotlight by saying she wishes she had separated from Justin sooner.
Whitney Rose says her separation from Justin has been a “beautiful thing” for their family
Recently, the businesswoman appeared on the Entertainment Tonight podcast, where Whitney discussed “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” as well as her personal life. During the conversation, she revealed that separating from Justin Rose has been a “beautiful thing” for their family.
Whitney said, “It’s going beautifully. Honestly, it has been. I was so scared and nervous to take this next step, but honestly, now that I’ve done it, I wish I would have done it sooner because it has been a beautiful thing for our family, and it’s given a lot of peace for Justin and I and a lot of peace for our children.”
“My hope right now is that we can just keep maintaining this peace, and we are so, Justin and I are best friends, and it’s hard to accept that maybe the romantic side of our marriage, or your marriage, is over, but Justin and I aren’t going anywhere.” She added
Whitney Rose and Justin Rose ended their previous marriages before marrying each other in November 2009. The former couple has two children together, Bobbie and Brooks, while Justin also has three children from his previous marriage.
The 2021–2022 period proved difficult for the Roses, as Whitney lost more than half a million dollars through her brand, Wild Rose Beauty, while Justin also lost his job.
Media reports first brought their separation into the spotlight in July 2026, and Whitney confirmed the split herself in September.
