Tracker's Justin Hartley Enjoys Romantic Date Night With Wife Sofia Pernas
Justin Hartley took a break from filming season 3 of Tracker to enjoy a romantic night out with his wife, Sofia Pernas.
Hartley, 48, and Pernas, 36, posed for photos on Saturday, September 13, at the BAFTA North America’s TV Tea Party in California. The actor rocked a light pink suit, which perfectly contrasted Pernas’ purple gown. The outing came ahead of Hartley’s planned appearance at the 2025 Emmys, where he is expected to present an award.
The couple have enjoyed attending events together since they got married in 2021. Hartley, who first worked with Pernas on The Young and The Restless in 2015, has opened up about finding love with the actress.
“You meet in different capacities. We didn’t work together that closely, and we didn’t work together that long. I knew that she was very kind and very nice. I liked being around her. But I was in a different place in my life. I wasn’t available,” Hartley told Haute Living in 2021 after exchanging vows with Pernas. “Timing has a lot to do with that. I’m very lucky to not only have found ‘The One,’ but I found her when she was available and the timing was right.”

She elevates scenes, and so it makes my job easier, actually. But yeah, it’s just wonderful to work with her.”

“Obviously, I got her because I live with her,” Hartley quipped on an October episode of Max’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? “It’s not even a phone call.”
Hartley said he didn’t have to do much to get Pernas onboard. “It’s like, ‘Hey, babe. Come on, we’re going to work,’” he added. “But that’s fun when you can work with people that you love. … It’s great. It’s great having her. She’s a light and we get the greatest guest stars on our show.”
