Who is Stacey Hartley? Meet high school sweetheart and wife of 'The Rev' star Richard Hartley who keeps him 'in line'

Richard and his wife Stacey can be considered the living example of the saying 'opposites attract'

The Hartley family is all set to make their big television debut on USA Network's upcoming show 'The Rev'. While we eagerly wait for the show to premiere and watch the adventures of this fun and eccentric family, we wanted to get to know the Hartley family members a little better. So, in case you're curious to know more about Stacey Hartley, the beautiful wife of pastor Richard Hartley, read on.

Richard and his wife, Stacey can be considered the living example of the saying "opposites attract". While the pastor is a boisterous and flamboyant personality, his wife, Stacey, on the other hand, appears to be a soft-spoken and gentle lady. According to her bio on the network's website, Stacey and Richard were high school sweethearts. She is also reportedly the only person who can keep her popular husband in line.

In the teaser released for promoting the show, we see Stacey introducing herself as the first lady of Haven International Ministries. Being the first lady of any congregation is no cakewalk, but Stacey performs her responsibilities with grace and dedication. Alongside her church duties, Stacey is also a dedicated mother to two millennial children- Judea and Jordan Hartley. 

Interestingly enough, both Richard and Stacey seem to have very different ideologies when it comes to parenting. While Richard is eager to see his grownup children leave their home and begin to build their own life outside, Stacey, on the other hand, prefers for them to grow and thrive in their home, before stepping out into the world.

Her husband can be seen accusing her of coddling their kids, while she justifies it by saying she is very nurturing, and just wants to see her kids live up to their full potential. Stacey is a nurse by profession, Stacey enjoys crocheting in her free time. 'The Rev' follows the adventures of the Hartley family.

The show is described as, "'The Rev' is a reality sitcom following Reverend Richard Hartley: the pastor & choir master of his church, and the patriarch of his fun outspoken family." 

'The Rev' premieres on January 21, at 10:30 pm only on USA Network.
