"There are better ways to go about it": When Chrishell Stause explained how she was blindsided by ex-husband Justin Hartley 

Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause spoke out in the Netflix series about her divorce from ex-husband Justin Hartley. Having received the news via a text message from Hartley, Stause expressed how the news took her by surprise. She said:

“In a fight, like, that’s his go-to. Like, ‘I’m out, I’m out.’ I hate that kind of impulsive stuff, but I always just thought: ‘That’s an issue, we’ll work through it.’ If [divorce is] really what you wanted, there are better ways to go about it.”

Chrishell also noted that just 45 minutes after she received the text from Hartley, the divorce news was out for the world to know. She also said that everyone, including her, wanted to know more details about the divorce and even though it was said that they were married for only two years, they shared a life together for a total of six years.

According to E! News, Chrishell revealed more about her marital experience in her 2022 memoir titled Under Construction, where she shared:

“I didn’t mind my love life being public because it was something I was so proud of. I always wanted to have a family, and at the time I thought I was with the love of my life. However, I never could have predicted how it all came crashing down so forcefully.”

Chrishell Stause and Justin Hartley tied the knot in October 2017 after staying engaged for two years. According to US Weekly, Justin Hartley filed for a divorce in November 2019 and it was finalized in January 2021. Soon after, in May 2021 Justin took wedding vows with his current wife Sofia Pernas.
