Whitney Rose told USA Today that she and husband Justin Rose are recently separated. She described the past year as full of "a lot of change," both positive and difficult, and said she and Justin are "working all of that out and figuring out next steps." She emphasized that the family situation is being managed so the children's routines remain stable.
Whitney said she is not dating right now. She described enjoying the separation while figuring out next steps and shared a positive personal update: she's turning 40, feeling good about herself, and says she's happy and "vibing."
Whitney confirmed she regained control of her brand, Wild Rose Beauty, and plans to announce more concrete news for the business at the end of the year. She said she's been working hard on getting the business back and preparing that rollout.
Whitney previewed what viewers can expect on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season seven. She mentioned new dynamics among the cast, a new friend who appears on the season and with whom she has prior history, and several emotional moments including lots of crying. She also referenced participating in a drag brunch that led to an "apology tour."
Rapid-fire predictions about newly single castmates
In a separate Us Weekly interview, Whitney answered a set of forced-choice questions about herself and two fellow newly single castmates, Angie Katsanevas and Bronwyn Newport. Her answers included:
- Bronwyn will be the next to get a serious boyfriend.
- When asked who will next date someone "other than a man," she chose herself and Bronwyn.
- She predicted Angie will be the first to get engaged, or alternatively go speed-dating.
- She said "all of us" when asked who would next attend a swinger's party.
- She picked Bronwyn as the one most likely to join a dating app or try ayahuasca with a partner abroad.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season seven premiered on September 16, 2026. Whitney's comments about the separation, business, and castmate predictions were made in interviews published around mid-September 2026.
What this means for viewers and fans
Whitney's focus appears split between managing a public separation while continuing professional work on Wild Rose Beauty. She is signaling stability on the parenting and household front for now, declining to pursue dating publicly. The season's episodes will likely explore these developments alongside new cast dynamics and emotional confrontations.
