The pair met while Justin was Whitney’s boss at a local med spa. While both were married to other people at the time, their connection eventually led them to leave their spouses to be together.

“She fell in love with Justin. They had this illicit, torrid affair and, as a result, they were both excommunicated from the Mormon church,” costar Heather Gay explained in the first episode ofRHOSLCseason 1. Whitney later clarified that she chose to walk away from the church rather than be excommunicated.

The couple’s early relationship faced significant skepticism and judgment from friends and family. In the same episode, one of Whitney’s cousins apologized for doubting her relationship with Justin, admitting, “I don’t think I thought you’d be here 10 years from now when I went to your first wedding.”

Whitney acknowledged the challenges they faced, saying, “If I had to choose everything I went through to be with Justin — all of the judgment, all of the criticism, all of the pain — I would do it again. Because my life is so full.”

He has five children

During season 2 ofRHOSLC, Whitney opened up about their decision not to have more children. “I’ve always wanted more kids, but it’s not going to happen,” she revealed. “After Brooks was born, Justin went and got snipped and cut."

Whitney explained that the decision came from a mutual agreement: “Justin and I negotiated and came up with an agreement to have two children. So I agreed to the vasectomy, but later on regretted it.”
