Whitney Rose Confirms Separation and Describes 'Nesting' Co‑Parenting

The nesting arrangement preserves the children’s routines as Whitney focuses on reclaiming and preparing to sell Wild Rose Beauty.

Overview

  • Whitney Rose says she and husband Justin Rose separated at the end of May 2026 after roughly 16 years of marriage and are now handling the split publicly on season 7 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
  • The couple is 'nesting' by sharing two residences and rotating between a primary home and an apartment so their children, daughter Bobbie, 16, and son Brooks, 13, keep the same bedrooms, friends, and daily routines.
  • Reports from the summer and Whitney’s recent interviews indicate the split remains informal with no public record of formal legal steps such as hiring attorneys or complete move‑outs.
  • Whitney says she is not dating, is taking time to focus on herself as she approaches 40, and is prioritizing co‑parenting and an orderly transition for her family.
  • She says she has regained control of Wild Rose Beauty, plans to sell the brand, and is teasing a major year‑end announcement, a business development that could shape her next public and financial steps.
