The source claimed the spouses "rarely see each other" and that "financial strain" has taken "a major toll" on their dynamic.

"There wasn't one dramatic moment -- it was a gradual breakdown after years of trying to make things work," the source explained, adding how money problems was a "contributing factor" in the couple's demise.

Whitney has been starring on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City since the show premiered in November 2020 on Bravo. Justin has been a consistent supporting cast member alongside his wife.

Justin also has three sons -- Austin, Trey and Christopher -- from his previous marriage.

The insider told People that Whitney and Justin are putting their children first and intend on co-parenting amicably.

"They're trying to handle this with as much respect as possible," the insider said.

"Their children remain their biggest priority, and they're committed to keeping things as peaceful as they can."

Whitney and Justin had reportedly left their former marriages to be together, and so they faced backlash from fans for their choices.

The couple got married in 2009 and celebrated how far they made it in November 2025.
