Breaking Down Justin Hartley's Possible Love Interests on ‘Tracker': From Fiona Rene to Sofia Pernas
Justin Hartley's Tracker character, Colter, might not be looking for romance — but it always seems to find him.
When Tracker premiered in February 2024, viewers quickly found themselves introduced to Colter. A survivalist who identifies as a lone-wolf but travels the country helping find missing people, dogs and more? Consider Us sold.
It definitely helped to have a familiar face play Colter with Hartley previously gaining recognition for his roles in soap operas such as Passions and The Young and the Restless and TV shows including Smallville and This Is Us.
But just because Hartley was used to playing characters that were the object of someone's affection didn't mean he was in a rush to introduce a romance on Tracker. Hartley warned viewers at the start that they shouldn't expect for his character to have a consistent romantic interest.
Is Justin Hartley's Wife Sofia Pernas Returning to 'Tracker'? What They've Said
'The fact that Colter doesn't have a girlfriend, I think that's one of the things I wanted to sort of keep,' Hartley, who is also an executive producer on the show, told People in February 2024. 'I feel like if he has a wife and a girlfriend and a family, and he continues to do all these dangerous things, that's kind of selfish.'
Despite not aiming to find Colter a partner, the first two seasons offered several possible love interests. From Fiona Rene's Reenie to Sofia Pernas' Billie, keep scrolling for a guide to all of Colter's possible romantic options:
When season 1 premiered, Reenie wasn't just introduced as Colter's lawyer. She hinted at a complicated past that included at least one-night stand — but their ongoing chemistry was undeniable.
There was also the fact that Reenie caught the eye of Colter's brother, Russell (Jensen Ackles), too.
"I think deep down Colter loves Reenie. I really would like to think that he has unconditional love for her," Rene exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024. "He really wants what's best for Reenie and he wants to see her happy. I think Elliott [Michael Rady] at that moment is really making her happy. So I think it's undeniable for Colter to feel that too. But does that mean that he is over it?"
Rene didn't rule out Reenie rekindling her romance with Colter — or Russell.
"Reenie loves some of that attention. Who doesn't love a little bit of validation here and there? We're all human," she quipped to Us. "But I think Reenie is looking for the caliber of man who can be emotionally, physically and mentally available. [Someone] in the same state who she doesn't have to track down every single time she wants to talk to him. I think that that's pretty pertinent."
She continued: "[She wants] to have someone who is willing to put her as a priority — and that's hard. For Russell and Colter, I don't know if Reenie trusts that either of them are capable of doing all of those things. [They should] prove me wrong."
Most Iconic Guest Stars From Justin Hartley's 'Tracker' Series: Sofia Pernas, Jensen Ackles and More
Colter's chemistry with Pernas' Billie has heated up our screens since they reconnected in season 1. It probably helps that Pernas is Hartley's real-life wife, which has allowed Billie to return again and again as her connection with Colter gets more serious.
'She's wonderful. I mean, if I had my choice, I'd spend every minute with her," Hartley gushed to Us in July 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.'
During the season 2 premiere, which aired in October 2024, Colter reconnected with Camille (Floriana Lima), who was involved in an open case he wasn't able to solve. Colter continued to look for Camille's missing sister, which led to an on and off relationship.
"I think the relationship has changed based on the trauma bond. That's exactly what it is — a trauma bond," Hartley told TVLine at the time. "It's very, very sad, but it's like these married couples that lose their child, and they can't be together anymore because they see their child in the other person."
Colter ultimately solved the case when he confirmed that Camille's sister was murdered. This brought closure to Camille — and ended her romantic bond with Colter for now.
'Tracker' Cast's Dating History: Justin Hartley, Sofia Pernas, Jensen Ackles and More Stars' Love Lives
Tracker showed Colter hooking up with a detective during the series premiere and didn't stop there. During various cases throughout the seasons, Colter has flirted with or appeared to appeal to women he crossed paths with.
Does that mean Colter could end up with someone random? Probably not.

Blake Lively's Allegations Against Justin Baldoni Supported By 19 Advocacy Groups
Blake Lively called out Justin Baldoni, and now, 19 women's rights groups are backing her. What started as a legal dispute has turned into a public reckoning, with advocacy organizations stepping in to defend Lively's right to speak out. They are not just supporting her claims of sexual harassment but also calling out Baldoni's legal tactics as dangerous to survivors everywhere. In a new wave of support, 14 additional organizations, including the National Organization for Women and the National Network to End Domestic Violence, filed amicus curiae briefs. They are urging the court to dismiss Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit against Blake Lively. This brings the total to 19 groups that stand with her. These groups accuse Baldoni of using DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) strategies to silence Lively and twist the narrative. Furthermore, Lively's team directly called out Baldoni's shift in public stance. Once known for his feminist messaging in podcasts, interviews, and his viral 2017 TED Talk, Baldoni now faces criticism for betraying those same values. 'Where he once upon a time urged men to listen to the women in your life … to hold their anguish and actually believe them,' Lively's statement read. 'Now, contradicting years of his own public persona.' In a June 5 statement to Us Weekly, Lively's spokesperson emphasized the significance of the support from 19 organizations, including Child USA and Sanctuary for Families. 'All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up, simply to protect himself,' the statement read. For those in need of more context, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's lawsuit battle started in December last year when Lively sued Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and reputational damage. Baldoni denied the claims and countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist for $400 million, accusing them of defamation. Both sides have filed motions to dismiss aspects of the case, with a trial expected in 2026. Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on ComingSoon.

Blake Lively Accuses Baldoni of Hypocrisy Over Support for Women
Blake Lively has slammed It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, criticizing the latter's shift in approach to women's advocacy as legal tensions escalate between the two. The Gossip Girl alum alleges that Baldoni is undermining the voices of women's advocacy groups that have supported her. Blake Lively has taken a firm stand against Justin Baldoni. She has accused him of abandoning the values he once claimed to uphold. Through a statement issued on June 5, her representative took aim at Baldoni's legal strategy. They accused Baldoni of targeting women's rights groups that have publicly backed Lively in her legal fight against him. The spokesperson said, '19 leading survivors and organizations devoted to women's rights, children's rights, and domestic violence have now signed onto four separate amicus briefs.' They added, 'All are united in opposing Justin Baldoni's attempt to dismantle a law designed to protect women who speak up — simply to protect himself.' (via US Weekly) New briefs from Child USA and Sanctuary for Families have been added to the list. They join major groups like the National Organization for Women, Women's Justice NOW, and the National Network to End Domestic Violence. The spokesperson also added, 'Rather than defend his case on the facts, Baldoni is now contradicting years of his own public persona — abandoning the message of his #MeToo YouTube's, podcasts, TED Talks, and interviews, where he once upon a time urged men 'to listen to the women in your life.' Moreover, Lively's representatives argue that Baldoni's attempt to challenge these filings is a move aimed at suppressing support for survivors. This latest development follows a key ruling earlier in the week. On June 2, Judge Lewis Liman determined that Blake Lively's emotional distress claims would not proceed. This comes after her legal team moved to withdraw them. The judge also denied Justin Baldoni's request to obtain her private therapy and medical records. He noted that they were no longer relevant in light of the withdrawn claims. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon.

Marshall Glaze, who appeared on season 4 of Love Is Blind, discussed his mental health challenges on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of What's the Reality? podcast During the podcast, he discussed contemplating suicide, saying, "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life" He recalled realizing that he wanted to "live" and said that he hoped sharing his story would allow him to "heal"Marshall Glaze is getting candid about his mental health journey. The season 4 Love Is Blind star was a guest on the Wednesday, June 4, edition of Amber Desiree "AD" Smith's podcast, What's the Reality?, during which he discussed his mental health journey over the past year. "Last year was just very tough for me mentally, and I was going to take my own life. It just got to a point where I had always been morbidly curious, but never thought about how to do it," he said. "And then, one day, I'm just down in the dumps, just crazy depressed. Nothing is going right for me in my life or I feel like nothing is going right, that's what my internal monologue is telling me," continued Glaze. The star went on to note that "those voices, that darkness just got a little bit louder, got a little bit darker." Glaze described feeling like he was "in this box," and "the walls were just getting closer and closer and closer." "No favorite meal, no favorite movie, no favorite song, could lift me out of that," he said. "I knew I had a problem when, this particular time I talked to my mom, I was okay with that being the last time I talked to her." Glaze said he knew what he was going through was "bad" because his mother was someone he talked to "multiple times throughout the day." "I was going to do what I felt like I had to do, but I couldn't," he continued, adding that he then went for a walk that he "will never forget." "Seattle is a very rainy city, and this was at peak rain season, and I lived on a very busy street in downtown Seattle, and at any time of the day, there's buses, cars, bikes, people walking, and nobody was out there," said Glaze. He recalled walking around in the rain while wearing a cut-off t-shirt, basketball shorts and a pair of slides. "I walked around the Space Needle, came around back to my apartment, and I'm like, 'I want to live,' " he said. Glaze said that sharing his story ultimately helps him "heal." "I hope that someone out there can resonate with that and choose life," he concluded.
