Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause‘s divorce shocked fans, especially after it was discovered they listed completely different dates of separation on their respective filings.
“Yes, they’d had some problems, but she certainly never thought he would just go and suddenly file for divorce, and not even try to save things,” a source told People about the couple. “He’s reached a new level of fame thanks to the show and he doesn’t want to close many doors right now, and that’s not necessarily the path Chrishell is looking to take. She thought babies would happen soon after they got married, but it just hasn’t worked out.”
Chrishell apparently thought “Justin never took their marriage seriously at all” after he suddenly filed for divorce. “Justin has already been married, and divorced, once before. But Chrishell had been in other serious relationships in the past, like with Matthew Morrison, and didn’t take them further because she was always adamant that when she got married, it would be forever — she was only going to do this once. It’s partly why she and Justin waited so long to get married: she wanted to be sure that when they said their vows, they meant them. And she did — she would have stayed forever.”
“She was his staunchest supporter and would’ve had his back through anything,” the source added.
Chrishell recently broke her social media silence with a cryptic message.
