Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause’s divorce came as a shock to many — including Stause, 38, who admitted to being “blindsided” in the trailer for Season 3 of “Selling Sunset.”
But her co-star, Christine Quinn, reveals the couple was seeking help for their marital issues before they split.
“We all just thought maybe they were having communication problems for a while,” Quinn, 31, told Page Six. “We heard that they were in therapy, so obviously there were some issues going on with them.”
While the reality star admitted she doesn’t know exactly what caused the exes to finally call it quits, Quinn shared that infidelity was not a topic that was ever discussed amongst the group.
In May, Hartley, 43, was spotted kissing his former “The Young and the Restless” co-star, Sofia Pernas, just six months after filing for divorce from Stause.
Quinn said fans won’t see a lot of Hartley and Stause’s relationship play out on the hit Netflix series because the former couple agreed to keep their relationship private.
“I think that was the understanding that they had is that he wanted to be totally private in regards to ‘Selling Sunset,’ which she respected,” she said. “So, we’re never going to see him on the show and we’re never going to see her talk about him, and I really don’t think there’s ever any resolve unfortunately.”
Despite her co-star’s divorce, the real estate agent had only nice things to say about Hartley, whom she said treated her very kindly even though she has had a rift with his soon-to-be ex-wife.
“I hung out with him many times and he was an absolute doll,” Quinn said. “He was an absolute sweetheart, especially to Davina [Potratz] and I, and I thought that was really interesting considering the dynamic between Chrishell and I. He has been nothing but nice and supportive to us.”
Quinn recalled an interaction at The Critics Choice Awards in June 2019, in which she felt snubbed by Stause, but welcomed by Hartley.

“We went to the Critic’s Choice Awards together, and Chrishell was ignoring me at that time, of course, and running out of the room, but [Justin] is such a gentleman,” Quinn said. “He came up and took the time to say ‘Hi’ and have a conversation with Davina and I, and he is just, he is really, really, down to earth, humble, great guy, in my opinion, so he’s always treated me with respect.”
Stause recently told Radio One’s “The Reality Tea” podcast that she blocked Quinn on social media for allegedly bringing “toxic insults and toxic energy” to her profile page. The women’s rift began when they had a blowout fight on the Season 1 finale.
However, Quinn told us she is ready to “move on” and that many of her other cast members would like them to do the same.
“The other girls and I are really great at our jobs in real estate and filming a television show, because we understand that we get in fights, but at the end of the day, we’re always able to make up,” the realtor said. “Maya [Vander] is tired of it. Heather [Rae Young] is tired of it. Davina is tired of it. Everyone is just exhausted by her ignoring me, so I hope that maybe next season we can move forward, but I’ve been trying.”
Quinn added that Stause has a “brick wall” in “every aspect of her life.”
“You’ll see that on the show,” she said. “You don’t know much about her and you never really will, so I just wish that her and I could be in a better place.”
A rep for Stause did not immediately return our request for comment.
