Amid his divorce with Chrishell Stause, fan-favorite Justin Hartley, 43, has moved on with his love life and is now dating actress Sofia Pernas, 30. The duo had co-starred together in 'Young and the Restless' and were confirmed to be dating by Us Weekly as pictures of the happy couple kissing in Los Angeles, popped up.

Born to a Moroccan mother and Hispanic father, the star is multilingual and can speak four different languages — English, Spanish, Arabic and German, as reported by Us Weekly. She also loves to cook, which she passionately shares on her social media. Her Twitter bio reads, "Consummate lover of good food and humor," while her Instagram account boasts emojis of cupcakes. The actress had recently showcased her cooking skills when she cooked a Moroccan dish on Hallmark Channel's 'Home & Family'. The publication also revealed that the soap star loves to unwind with hobbies that gain her major brownie points.
