Justin Hartley made his first public appearance nearly two months after filing for divorce from Chrishell Stause. The 'This Is Us' star was seen with fellow co-stars at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour where he spoke about self-care.

According to the Blast's sources, the couple had been troubled and were "somewhat fundamentally incompatible". They filed for divorce in November 2019. The source also added that Hartley was looking to focus on his career while Chrishell was looking at having babies.

"Chrishell is really ready to just settle down and be a wife and stay-at-home mom and was hoping to start a family relatively soon," they shared.

"Justin wants that but also doesn’t think it has to happen in the near future and is at a point in his career where he wants to really be able to explore all the options that are coming his way," the source explained. "He’s reached a new level of fame thanks to the show and he doesn’t want to close many doors right now, and that’s not the path Chrishell is looking to take. She thought babies would happen soon after they got married, but it just hasn’t worked out.”

However, the bigger question is: Who is Chrishell Stause? Stause is best known for her role in the Netflix reality show 'Selling Sunset. She also starred as Amanda Dillon on 'All My Children' and Jordan Ridgeway on 'Days of Our Lives'.  She has worked on roughly 15 projects and began her career in 2005 with 'All My Children'. Her first lead role in films came in 2017 in the thriller 'Eve of Abduction'. 

As far as the personal front goes, Stause was previously engaged to 'Glee' star Matthew Morrison in 2006, but they both ended the engagement in 2007.
