Justin Hartley and wife Sofia Pernas marked a relationship first while posing on a red carpet with his daughter, Isabella.
Hartley, 48, and Pernas, 35, attended the Bride Hard premiere on Wednesday, June 18, with his daughter, Isabella, 20, whom he shares with ex-wife Lindsay Korman, by his side. The group was all smiles as they enjoyed the family night out.
The actor has previously opened up about his dynamic with his daughter. He exclusively told Us Weekly in 2019 that he considered Isabella his “best friend.”
“We do everything from read to surf Instagram,” he shared. “We’ll go for walks. We played basketball yesterday morning. … We swim, we go for drives, we do everything.”
More than four years after meeting on set, Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas found love after heartbreak. News broke in November 2019 that the This Is Us alum filed for divorce from Chrishell Stause after two years of marriage. While he listed their date of separation as July 8, 2019, the Selling Sunset star marked the […]
Hartley continued: “It’s nice. I’m lucky to have a [daughter] who I feel like tells me everything or can tell me everything. She probably doesn’t tell me everything, but I think she feels like she can. That was the goal. … She’s my best friend.”
More recently, Hartley reflected on sending Isabella off to college.
“It’s tough when they leave,” he said during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show in 2022. “You think you’re ready for it because as they get older they gain independence and they’re gone a lot anyway. They have their own friends and their own interests. You can always, I guess, go see them.”
Hartley admitted he was still coming to terms with it, adding, “But when they’re [really] gone, it really is a text or a phone call. And you know, she’s 18, so let’s be honest, it’s a text. I’m not getting phone calls, which is normal, but I hate it.”
Earlier that year, Pernas gushed over her own bond with Isabella.
“She’s so wise. I mean, that girl, she’s got it figured out!” the actress told Page Six of her stepdaughter. “She knows exactly what she wants. She has a beautiful, wonderful boyfriend. I don’t want to say too much about it because she’s like, ‘Ahh!’ but they’re awesome.”
As if Tracker‘s Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas weren’t couple goals already, their sweet red carpet appearances prove it even more. Hartley and Pernas originally met while working together on The Young and The Restless in 2015. Years later, they reconnected off screen and exchanged vows in 2021, which they confirmed during a red carpet […]
Pernas called Isabella and Hartley “very” smart. “She knows what she wants, and [Justin has] lucked out,” she continued. “It’s rare when you get someone [who is almost] 18 being that precocious about what they want in a partner and not messing up and figuring out from your mistakes later. She’s great.”

“She’s wonderful. I mean, if I had my choice, I’d spend every minute with her,” Hartley told Us last year after the pair starred together in Tracker. “What’s really cool is when you meet someone that means so much to you, that you’re so proud to be with and so proud of, and just such a fan of, and to get to see her work, because she’s such a talented actor. She elevates scenes, and so it makes my job easier, actually. But yeah, it’s just wonderful to work with her.”
