Justin Hartley’s ex-wife and their daughter defended the “This Is Us” star after his estranged wife, Chrishell Stause, said he told her about their divorce via text last year.

Lindsay Hartley, who was married to Justin from 2004 to 2012, and their 16-year-old, Isabella, shared their support on social media after the latest season of “Selling Sunset” featured a clip of Stause saying Justin informed her of their divorce via text message — causing backlash from fans.

“In a day when social media should be used for positivity…an inspiration towards movement in an honest and deserving way, I’d like to join, by highlighting my appreciation for my family,” Lindsay wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on Tuesday.

“No matter what conflicts Justin and I had in the past, I appreciate what we have today and am thankful for the family we have built,” she said.

Isabella re-posted her mom’s message to her own Instagram account.

Stause appeared to respond to Lindsay’s statement by posting a cryptic message to her Instagram story.

Late last year, Justin filed to divorce Stause after two years of marriage.

But it wasn’t until last week when the third season of “Selling Sunset” premiered that 39-year-old Stause revealed how their breakup allegedly went down.

“Um, I found out because he text[ed] me that we filed,” Stause had told her co-star Mary Fitzgerald?
