From Soap Opera Set to Soulmates: Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas' Love Story

Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas discovered romance more than four years after initially crossing paths on set.

Hartley and Pernas first encountered each other on The Young & the Restless roughly between 2015 and 2016, but it wasn’t until 2020 that Us Weekly exclusively reported that the couple had started dating. They subsequently exchanged vows in 2021, officially announcing their marriage through their first red carpet appearance, where they both sported rings on their left hands at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Pernas and Hartley have enjoyed a happy marriage ever since, frequently demonstrating their affection for one another at various red carpet events. In January 2026, the pair appeared together at the Critics Choice Awards, choosing to complement each other’s looks with matching black ensembles.
