Who is Justin Hartley’s daughter?
Justin Hartley’s daughter Isabella Justice Hartley is all grown up! Justin and Lindsay welcomed their only child together on July 3, 2004, just a few months after they got married.
Throughout Isabella’s upbringing, Justin would often share sweet anecdotes about her during interviews, including stories about when she first started dating and first began driving. While appearing on The Tonight Show back in 2019, he jokingly said that he “just wanted to crawl in a hole and die,” because his then-15-year-old had started to date. “I know it’s a natural thing,” he said, adding of Isabella: “She’s wonderful, she’s sweet, she’s responsible and she’s earned the trust.” He continued: “But I hate it. I hate all of it.”
He had a similar reaction when she first got her driver’s license. During a 2021 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Justin lamented that teaching Isabella to drive was “worst thing in the world.” He added: “There’s gotta be a better way to do this.”
Now 19 years old, Isabella is currently a student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her own social media accounts are private, her parents frequently share photos of her on Instagram and she has also accompanied her dad to several red carpet premieres.
In July 2023, Lindsay wished Isabella a happy birthday on Instagram, sharing a photo of themselves celebrating in Hawaii. “Happy 19th Birthday Isabella❤️🎊🦄🦋🎂 You are truly my blessing and my best friend. I’m so grateful for our relationship. I’m so proud of you. I love you,” she wrote in the caption. “To many many more fantastic years of learning, loving, and living🌹🥰😌 @isabellahartley 🌺.”
A few years prior, Isabella stunned alongside her dad at the 2020 Critic’s Choice Awards. She wore a white strapless gown and sported a slicked-back ponytail, looking more grown up than ever. That same year, Justin marked her sixteenth birthday, writing alongside an adorable picture of him and Isabella: “Wishing this young one a very happy 16th birthday! Proud papa.”
Isabella also appears to be close with her stepmom Sofia Pernas, whom Justin met while starring on The Young and the Restless and married in 2021. Pernas included a photo of Isabella and their dog in a December 2023 photo dump that marked the end of the year.
