Sofia Pernas is gliding through ‘growing pains’ as she finds Justin Hartley on same page with everything

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sofia Pernas, the renowned actress, recently shared her love story with her now-husband Justin Hartley.

She shared her first impression of Hartley, explaining how their friendship blossomed into romance and how she found him a right partner making her glide through pains. 

Sofia Pernas' first impression of Justin Hartley

Pernas first met Hartley on the set of ‘The Young and the Restless’ in 2015. Her initial impression of him was of a man who was always on the go.

"God, that guy comes in and leaves as soon as the bell goes ding,” Pernas said of Hartley.

"Sometimes he’d do up to 65 pages a day. He was just ripping pieces off, throwing them in the trash, as soon as he’d be done with the scene," she said, adding "It was almost like pop smoke and then he would leave. It was incredible."

Their relationship took a turn at the start of 2020 when Pernas sent Hartley a simple text message wishing him a "happy turn of the decade" and "that was it."

This marked the beginning of their correspondence as ‘pen pals.’ However, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 changed everything. In 2021, they got quietly married.

Pernas said Hartley is not just her husband, but also her best friend.

Despite the ‘growing pains’ that come with any relationship, Pernas feels that they are gliding through them because they have the right partner in each other.

“When you know, you know. When you have the right person as your partner you just sort of glide through the growing pains,” she said.

"Of course, there are growing pains with certain things, but when you know, you know. When you have the right person as your partner you just sort of glide through the growing pains," she said, ET reported. 

Sofia Pernas is back to sharing the screen with Justin Hartley

Pernas and Hartley are now back to sharing the screen on Hartley’s show, 'Tracker.' Pernas described working alongside her husband again as ‘fun.’

Pernas said that her appearance “opened the door a sliver” for a possible continuation of her storyline.

“I love her. She’s such a cool character. She’s trying to hide so much 'cause, obviously, she’s so vulnerable,” she said of her character.

For as Hartley, she said, “He’s obviously so self-assured and commanding and powerful when he walks into a room, but I think, because of their history and everything going forward, it’s nice to see that peep hole in the vulnerability.”
