Whitney Rose Speaks Out on Rumors She And Justin Are "Splitting": "Not Going Anywhere"
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member is clarifying everything about her marriage to her husband.
Whitney Rose has always been candid about the highs and lows of her 15-year marriage with her husband, Justin Rose. But rest assured, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City couple's relationship is stronger than ever.
Whitney appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Jan. 8 where she addressed rumors that she and Justin were separating. Andy Cohen asked Whitney her thoughts on "the rumors that you and Justin are splitting." But even Andy seemed to be surprised by this. "I've never heard those rumors," he stated.
She acknowledged that the rumors are out there, but assured viewers that there is no truth to them. "Those land every time I get in fights with a certain cast mate," she explained. "Yeah, those rumors have been circulating for five years now."
Whitney then pointed to her husband, who was sitting in the audience supporting his wife, before adding, "Justin, obviously, is not going anywhere."
Justin also got the endorsement of Whitney's fellow WWHL guest and The Real Housewives of New York City alum, Dorinda Medley. "That Justin is one hot — I'm loving Justin," she said, as Justin blushed in the audience. "I've gotta say Justin — look at him, that is a man."
Whitney Rose shares her biggest lessons from her marriage to Justin Rose
In an interview with The Daily Dish on Nov. 6, Whitney recalled all of the lessons that she has learned from her marriage to Justin. "Marriage is up and down. Relationships are up and down," she explained. "I think the key is communication."
As the parents to children, Bobbie and Brooks Rose, Whitney and Justin know that there are a lot of ups and downs that come with raising kids and fostering a healthy relationship. "The spikes are bigger, the dips are lower," the PRISM co-founder noted. "But the show has really taught us the importance of communication. Because a lot of times we're misplacing things on each other that have nothing to do with each other. So I think communication is so important in marriage."
Whitney continued, comparing their marriage to reading a book. "You're not always gonna be on the same page, but you're lucky if you're in the same chapter," she noted.
"Just stay in the same book. Like, just as long as you're staying in the same book, if you're lucky, stay in the same chapter. And the moment you're on the same page, like cherish those. Cause those moments are what keep you going," she said.
Whitney Rose had an "instant soul connection" to husband, Justin Rose
RHOSLC viewers may recall that Whitney and Justin first met when Justin was Whitney's boss and they were married to different people at the time. They then ended up leaving their spouses to be together. But, Whitney told The Daily Dish that she was so young when she got married to Justin and she is a different person now.
"It's wild cause I was so young when we got engaged," she explained. "I was 22; I was a baby. But when I met Justin, it wasn't just meeting a man...it was an instant soul connection where I knew this person was going to be in my life. I just didn't know how....Now we are truly partners. Like, he's my best friend. We make decisions together. Like I feel like I have just as much authority as he does in the relationship."
