Whitney Rose, a cast member of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,' has filed for divorce from her husband, Justin Rose, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.com. The filing was submitted on Tuesday in Utah, and Page Six first reported the filing.
The divorce documents are largely private under Utah law, but Whitney Rose included a parenting plan in her submission. The couple shares two teenage children, a daughter named Bobbie and a son named Brooks, both of whom are still minors.
The filing follows a separation that became public earlier this year. According to TMZ.com, the couple had been living separate lives since at least July, and Page Six reported at that time that they were maintaining a united public front for the sake of their children.
Financial strain reportedly played a role in the breakdown of the marriage. Justin Rose lost his executive position in 2022, and a skincare business venture that did not succeed compounded the pressure on the relationship, according to TMZ.com.
Viewers should not expect the divorce to surface in the current season of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,' which is airing now. However, the situation could become a central storyline once production begins on season 8, TMZ.com reported.
Whitney Rose has been a fixture on the Salt Lake City installment of the reality franchise, which documents the lives of affluent women in the region. The divorce filing marks the latest development in a personal story that has drawn attention from fans of the series.
