Whitney Rose has become one of the most well-known faces in reality TV thanks to her stint on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. But instead of her show, at present she has found herself in the spotlight for all things personal. Whitney recently filed for divorce from her husband, Justin Rose, after nearly 17 years of marriage. Now, in a new interview, Whitney broke her silence for the first time since the news of their divorce broke.
Whitney Rose says she is at ‘peace’ over her divorce from Justin Rose
Whitney Rose recently sat down for an interview with SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy. While speaking with them, he broke her silence on her decision to file for divorce from Justin Rose for the first time. She claimed that even though the divorce is “devastating,” she is at peace with it. She also admitted that it took her a long time to get here. In her words:
“I’m the one who filed. I made that choice. And you see it play out through the season. It took me a long time to get here.”
The RHOSLC star clarified that she did want her nearly 17-year marriage to Justin “to work.” In that aspect, she “gave it [her] all” and “tried everything.” She said, “It’s very sad and hard. But I am glowing because I’m finding happiness and peace. I have peace in my heart through all the chaos. I love Justin. I love my family.”
According to Whitney, now that she and Justin are officially on their way to getting divorced, their main focus is on their two children, daughter, Bobbie, 16, and son, Brooks, 13. She shared that they are co-parenting well and are doing their best to keep things peaceful and amicable.
During the same conversation, Whitney also spoke about how, even after she left the Mormon Church 20 years ago, her “Mormon roots” still affect how she views marriage and divorce. She confessed that it has led her to think that one should not get divorced because it is not something you should do to your family.
Whitney said that she herself grew up in a divorced family and had a childhood that was pretty hard. This is why she does not want her children to struggle during her divorce from Justin. In order to do that, Whitney mustered up the courage to be honest with them. Recalling how her kids reacted to the news, she said:
“I pushed off doing it and having the conversation with them for so long. I think me choosing to leave the home, separating and nesting, we put that off for so long because I was so scared to tell the kids. But once I told the kids, they were like, ‘Thank you. We want you happy. We want Dad happy.’”
Whitney Rose believes that it would have been selfish for her to stay in a situation where she was not happy. She went on to confirm that at present, her and Justin’s kids are doing amazing and are fine since they have two parents who love them. She assured that they will always show up for their kids.
Whitney Rose and Justin Rose were ‘living separate lives’ before she filed for divorce
In July 2026, sources close to the former couple told Page Six that Whitney and Justin had expressed frustrations regarding their marriage in recent times. They claimed that the only reason they continued existing as a couple was for the sake of their children.
Reportedly, Whitney and Justin Rose were “living separate lives” before the reality star ultimately decided to file for divorce. An insider spilled that they were never together, even when they were in the same place, like the gym.
