Angie Katsanevas, Shawn Trujillo Break Up After 27 Years of Marriage

“I am grateful to have married a strong man who shared the same values, love, and commitment for family as my Dad,” she wrote in a June 2023 Instagram post. “It’s hard to imagine my father raising seven children alone as Shawn has been by my side since Elektra’s first breath and every step of the way thereafter. His presence has shaped the amazing young lady she is and continues to become.”

However, their relationship has had its share of both ups and downs, including when Katsanevas and Trujillo addressed rumors about his sexuality and that he was unfaithful during the couple’s marriage.

“Thirty years ago, when Shawn and I first met, people would say, ‘Oh, that guy’s hot’ or ‘He has nice legs’ while he was doing hair,” she explained during the season four reunion. “‘Is he gay?’ ‘No, that’s his wife over there.’ Once it was established that we were a couple in Salt Lake City, it wasn’t brought up.”

And for Trujillo, he just wanted to set the record straight once and for all.

“For me it’s not a gay-straight thing, it’s an infidelity thing for me,” he shared while on the show. “We love our gay community, we’ve been embedded in it for 30 years now just based on what we do for our business.”

Prior to their split, Trujillo has also openly praised his wife of nearly three decades, noting their bond that seemed to only grow over time.

“Loving you is a privilege, knowing you is a blessing, being with you is a dream come true,” he wrote in a 2023 Instagram post celebrating her birthday. “A birthday isn’t complete without a toast, and here is mine to you. As a mother, you are the best of the best; as a [woman], you are the strongest; as a wife you are incredible. Cheers to many more.”
