After being set up by a mutual friend, Hartley began dating Stause in late 2013. They got engaged nearly three years later, and in October 2017, they tied the knot in an intimate outdoor ceremony. Throughout their time together, the pair shared a slew of sweet moments, including PDA-filled red carpet appearances and fun date nights.
In November 2019, however, Hartley filed for divorce from Stause, citing "irreconcilable differences" and noting July 8, 2019 as the date of separation — though it's worth noting that their last public appearance together was at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association Golden Globes event in Los Angeles on Nov. 14, 2019. According to Us Weekly, the "divorce filing was a big surprise to everyone around the couple in terms of their friends."
Stause later opened up about the split in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, it was "very unfortunate." "I obviously really, truly love him, and it's unfortunate the way that everything happened and the timing of everything," she added. "Hopefully we can get to a place where one day we will look back at this and laugh. I don't know, hopefully . . . relationships are hard." Hartley, on the other hand, has yet to publicly address the divorce himself.
