Shantel VanSanten and Victor Webster’s whirlwind romance has come to an end. After tying the knot three separate times, the One Tree Hill starlet and the Continuum alum have confirmed their split. Fans of the couple are stunned by the news, as they appeared to have a strong relationship and a deep love for each other. In this article, we’ll explore the details of their shocking breakup and what it could mean for their future.
Actors Shantel VanSanten and Victor Webster have split up after exchanging wedding vows three times, according to Us Weekly. The 50-year-old actor filed for divorce from the 37-year-old One Tree Hill alum at the start of the year, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court documents obtained by Us. The couple met on the Hallmark Channel’s Love Blossoms in 2017 after several years of dating they became engaged in February 2021, getting wed later that year in August in a civil ceremony at Pasadena City Hall in California.
However, the couple was not content with one wedding ceremony and so they had another in Napa, California, in October 2021, and another in her Minnesota hometown in front of her family. VanSanten told Brides.com, “Through all of this, the biggest lesson Victor and I have learned is the resiliency of the human spirit and our hearts.”
The actress added, “As I looked at my side, when the world felt like it was falling apart, there stood my rock, my home, my husband. As there are unwritten chapters ahead, we will surely experience more hardships on this grand adventure. I couldn’t be more sure we can overcome anything together.”
VanSanten shared her engagement story on Instagram in February 2021, describing how Webster proposed at the top of a mountain where he had first told her he loved her several years previously. She wrote, “I didn’t say anything for a while, not out of suspense although it would have been a good prank, but because my legs stopped working, I had to sit down and I couldn’t stop crying and kissing him. I forgot to say anything at all. BUT OBVIOUSLY I SAID YES!!!”
The actress revealed that she wanted to tie the knot at the spur of the moment after her grandfather died unexpectedly just before their first wedding. VanSanten explained, “When my grandfather unexpectedly passed away on Father’s Day, the heartbreak was unbearable; I had been planning on him walking me down the aisle in Minnesota. In the midst of my grief, I looked at Victor and said I wanted to do a spontaneous civil ceremony on my grandparents’ wedding date, August 9.”
The couple has not commented on their split publicly. Investigation reveals that VanSanten appears to have deleted her social media accounts, while Webster last posted a snap of her in July 2022.
The split came as a surprise to their fans who had followed their love story for several years.
