Love isn’t just for the big screen – sometimes it sneaks in between takes and script reads. That’s exactly what happened when Justin Hartley, best known for his heartthrob roles in This Is Us and now Tracker, met the strikingly talented Sofia Pernas. Their romance is pure Hollywood magic, and we’re diving deep into everything you need to know about the gorgeous woman who stole Justin’s heart.
How Did Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas Meet?
Justin and Sofia first met when they were working together on The Young and the Restless from 2015 to 2016. At the time, he was in a relationship with Chrishell Stause. He and Chrishell got married in 2017 and announced their split in 2019. Their divorce was finalized in 2021.
“You meet in different capacities. We didn’t work together that closely, and we didn’t work together that long,” Justin told Haute Living in December 2021 of meeting Sofia. “I knew that she was very kind and very nice. I liked being around her. But I was in a different place in my life. I wasn’t available. Timing has a lot to do with that. I’m very lucky to not only have found ‘The One,’ but I found her when she was available and the timing was right.”
When Did Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas Get Married?
Justin and Sofia got married in a secret ceremony in May 2021 after reconnecting. During an October 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the This Is Us alum dished on their quiet nuptials, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had a justice of the peace come over to the house with a mask on. Sofia and I got out of the pool, and we had our bathing suits on,” he explained. “[It was] the best wedding in the world.”
They came up with the idea to have the wedding at home during a chat while they were in the pool one day. “We were talking about it in the pool. We were like, ‘We should do this,'” he shared. “We should get married. We love each other. This is gonna be amazing.”
So, there you have it—Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas are more than just a pretty Hollywood couple.

Their romance isn’t just tabloid fodder; it’s the kind of story we secretly all hope for—where chemistry turns to companionship and screenplays lead to soulmates.
