Justin Hartley called in the new year with his girlfriend, Sofia Pernas.
“Last minutes of 2020 here in LA. Bring in 2021! Happy New Year! “This Is Us” star, 43, wrote on Instagram.
Pernas, 31, who previously co-starred with Hartley in “The Young and the Restless”, also shared a selfie of her and her love on New Year’s Day.
“Sayonara 2020, it has been real. Happy New Year from our quarantine grave for your ❤️ ”, she wrote.
These are some of the first photos the couple has shared of themselves on social media since rumors began circulating about their romance, which apparently started in 2020.
Hartley also made headlines in 2019 when he filed for divorce from his wife for two years, “Selling Sunset” star Chrishell Stause, 39.
The result of their surprising breakup happened in the third season of “Selling Sunset”. During an episode of the Netflix reality series, Stause claimed that Hartley told her he was asking for a divorce by text message, just before the news became public. (TODAY contacted Hartley last year about this complaint and his team declined to comment at the time.)
In an interview in October, Hartley opened up about how he is handling all the online gossip about his divorce. “For people who want to immerse themselves in gossip and believe everything they read, that’s fine, too, if they’re having fun with it,” he told host Bevy Smith on “Radio Andy”.
“I think it comes with the territory,” he added. “But I also kind of always had this vision that I will live a public life, but I will be very reserved about my personal affairs.”
Stause has also found love since his separation from Hartley. She recently confirmed that she is dating “Dancing With the Stars” pro, Keo Motsepe, after appearing as a celebrity contestant on the show last year. The couple spent Christmas together, with Motsepe, 31, meeting Stause’s family on vacation.
“Merry Christmas to everyone 🎄🎄🎄 lots of love # metthefamily😉”, he wrote on Instagram.
“You shine differently when you’re happy,” Stause captions another fresh, sweet photo with Motsepe.
