Multiple sources have told Page Six that "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" stars Whitney and Justin Rose, married for over 16 years, are "living separate lives," with some alleging they are fully separated.
Insiders claim the couple is "never together, even when they're in the same place, like the gym." The sources also stated that both Whitney and Justin have expressed "frustrations" about their marriage to close friends and family, with one suggesting they are "are existing" as a couple "for the sake of the kids."
Whitney, 39, and Justin, 58, share two children: daughter Bobbie, 16, and son Brooks, 13. Justin also has three sons from a previous marriage.
According to reports, financial stress has significantly impacted their relationship. Justin was terminated from his senior executive position at LifeVantage Corporation, a direct-sales health and wellness company, in March 2022. He later became president of Awakend, another company in the same sector. Justin reportedly stated that his former employers could not "make this continue to work" given Whitney's public profile.
Whitney has previously spoken on the show about how Justin's year-long unemployment affected their dynamic. In Season 4, she told co-star Angie Katsanevas that during their anniversary, she and Justin questioned if they still wanted to be together.
Further financial strain emerged from Whitney's business ventures. In 2021, she invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into rebranding her skincare line to Wild Rose Beauty (WRB). Although Justin initially advised against a direct-to-consumer model, Whitney eventually merged the company with Sōl People, which resulted in reported losses exceeding half a million dollars. Whitney later announced in September 2025 that she had regained full ownership of WRB. She also launched Prism, a jewelry line, amidst ongoing discussions about her personal healing journey, which has been a frequent topic on the show. Whitney has previously defended Prism against rumors of reselling inexpensive jewelry at a markup.
This is not the first time divorce rumors have surrounded the couple. In January 2025, Whitney addressed speculation on "Watch What Happens Live," telling host Andy Cohen that rumors had been circulating for five years and that Justin was "not going anywhere."
