Whitney Rose's marital issues with her husband Justin Rose will take center stage in season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
"In the trailer, which was released on Friday, August 11, Whitney, 36, confessed to her friend Angie Katsanevas, 'On our anniversary, I simply asked him, 'Do you still want to continue with this?' He responded with, 'Do you?' and I said, 'I don't know.'"
Whitney and Justin, who are both 54 years old, were shown in a different scene having dinner together. Whitney expressed her pain while admitting that seeing her wedding ring kept in a drawer on a daily basis was hurtful to her. Tears rolled down her face as she wiped them away.
The couple got married in 2009 and later welcomed two children, Bobbi, aged 13, and Brooks, aged 10.

Whitney reminisced about her wedding to Justin, where she was five months pregnant and dressed in her high school prom gown. Standing before an unsupportive crowd of about 50 people, she reflected on their secret office romance while they were still married to other individuals. During a November 2020 episode of RHOSLC, Whitney shared the challenging journey they faced due to their 18-year age difference. Meanwhile, her cousin and costar Heather Gay claimed that their affair led to their expulsion from the Mormon church, although Whitney has refuted these allegations.
Following the airing of the 1st episode of #rhoslc on @bravotv, the individual in question took to Twitter to address a misconception. In response to a statement made by one of her fellow cast members, she clarified that she was not excommunicated from the Mormon church, but rather made the personal decision to leave. While she no longer identifies as a Mormon, she still holds a deep love and admiration for her Mormon friends and family.
Whitney and Justin's vow renewal in 2020 was captured on film for the first season of RHOSLC.
"The vow renewal would have happened regardless of the show," she explained to Entertainment Tonight. "Justin and I always joked that if we made it to the 10-year mark — considering we overcame the hurdles of a second marriage and an affair — we had already beaten all the odds. So, we wanted to celebrate this milestone."
In RHOSLC season 4, viewers can expect to witness Whitney and Justin's rollercoaster journey. Additionally, Mary Cosby will be making a comeback after her departure in season 2. "I'm back! Someone save me fast," teasingly remarked Mary, 50, in a confessional before entering Meredith Marks' boutique and jokingly inquiring if someone had passed gas. Lisa Barlow, Marks, 51, and new addition Monica Garcia also feature prominently in RHOSLC.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premieres on Bravo Tuesday, September 5, at 9 p.m. ET.
