Their Marriage Faced a Crisis in Early 2022
The couple were the people’s favorite until 2022 after Dr. Justin Dean announced that he would be divorcing his wife a few days after the birth of their second child. At first, the masses tagged it as a joke or prank, but he stated that he was not joking. He further revealed that he was taking the decision because of his mental health.
Dean blamed the divorce on social media influence and her quest for fame, stressing that Korra was putting their personal life on social media. He further stated that he needed to leave because Korra was always lamenting how giving birth to their children was a mistake and for his mental health.
In addition, he hinted at her infidelity since their marriage, which she seemed unbothered about. As a couple that exposed most of their lives on social media, the public reacted to him while he gained the support of some for his claims and decision. He later apologized to his wife and her family but still maintained his stand on getting a divorce.
At the initial time, his wife didn’t react to his claims but later took to her Instagram to confirm that they were getting a divorce. She further stated that she was committed to taking care of herself and her newborn baby. In April 2022, the court issued Justin a month’s restraining order after he dropped his children off at Korra’s house to go to work.
In the heat of the divorce process, Dr. Justin Dean was dragged severally by his estranged wife.
