Before presenting at the 2025 Emmy Awards, Tracker‘s Justin Hartley rocked the red carpet with wife Sofia Pernas by his side.
Hartley, 48, posed for photos in a dark brown suit at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 14. He was joined by Pernas — who looked stunning in a white Yara Shoemaker gown— for the celebratory event after the pair previously enjoyed a romantic night out at a separate party over the weekend.
The couple originally met while working together on The Young and The Restless in 2015. Years later, they reconnected off screen and exchanged vows in 2021. Since getting married, Hartley and Pernas, 36, have worked together on projects such as Quantum Leap and Tracker.
“She’s wonderful. I mean, if I had my choice, I’d spend every minute with her,” Hartley exclusively told Us Weekly in 2024. “What’s really cool is when you meet someone that means so much to you, that you’re so proud to be with and so proud of, and just such a fan of, and to get to see her work, because she’s such a talented actor. She elevates scenes, and so it makes my job easier, actually. But yeah, it’s just wonderful to work with her.”
Lights, camera, fashion! The 2025 Emmys have commenced, meaning stars have brought their A-game to the red carpet. This year, the awards are being held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 14. Stars including Uzo Aduba, Kristen Bell, Quinta Brunson, Ayo Ederibi and Jean Smart all looked flawless as they hit […]
Before attending Sunday’s awards show, Hartley was in Canada filming season 3 of his hit CBS series. Tracker, which returns October 19, will pick up after Colter (Hartley) connected his father’s mysterious death to a case he was working on in his hometown. Colter ended up meeting his dad’s former friend, who confirmed he pushed Ashton to his death — after Colter’s mother Mary (Wendy Crewson) seemingly asked for help.
“That story will be far more complicated than you’re led to believe at the end of the season,” executive producer Elwood Reid exclusively told Us in May. “His brother Russell [Jensen Ackles] has some of the answers to that question. His sister Dory [Melissa Roxburgh] might have some pieces of that. His childhood friend Lizzy [Jennifer Morrison] might have some pieces of that too.”
The revelation will continue to affect Colter moving forward.
“Going way back to the genesis of the show — and it’s even in the book — is that Colter’s childhood was not what you would call a rosy childhood. He’s got a lot of questions and mysteries surrounding his childhood. For a guy each week that goes out and solves things, he’s someone who hasn’t been able to answer questions about his own life,” Reid continued. “I don’t think anyone thought necessarily that anything having to do with his family and the death of his father would be anything but pretty complicated and dark.”
Reid added: “We’ll pick up that element not as a whole season. But we will be able to see Colter struggle with learning the truth about what happened with his mother and his father and the rest of his family. His siblings have other pieces of that truth. That’s what’s interesting about the show is we’re able to mix the light in the dark all the time.”
Hartley, meanwhile, caused some fans to get concerned after discussing Colter’s mortality.
“I don’t want our audience to forget that this man is mortal, he’s not a superhero. He can die!” the actor told The Hollywood Reporter in April. “The things he is doing are very, very dangerous.”
Tracker returns to CBS on Sunday, October 19, at 8 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Paramount+.
