Although Whitney revealed that she is emotional about filing, she shared that she has found “peace” about the decision. “I am glowing because I’m finding happiness and peace. I have peace in my heart throughout all the chaos. It’s sad, and it’s devastating,” she said.
“I get called selfish a lot for wanting a divorce. Society labels you that; people label me that. And I realized it’s actually more selfish of me to stay in a situation I’m not happy in,” she said.Â

Whitney also shared updates on how she and Justin plan to move forward for the sake of their two children, 16-year-old daughter Bobbie Rose and 13-year-old son Brooks Rose.”I love Justin. I love my family. And now that we know I’m getting divorced, he and I are still focused on the kids. So we’re keeping it peaceful and amicable, and we’re co-parenting well,” she said. “So it’s sad, but I gave it my all. I wanted it to work.”
She continued, revealing that their kids are doing well. “My kids are amazing. They get it. They’re 16 and 13. They’re both my best friends. I’m very close to my kids,” she said, noting that she and Justin “put off” telling them. “But once I told the kids, they were like, ‘Thank you.’ They’re like, ‘We want you happy. We want dad happy, we want you happy.’ So I think that Bobbie and Brooks are fine because they have two parents that love them. And we’re both showing up for them.”
