Victor’s Post-Divorce Adventure with His Pet Friend
The buzz started when news broke about the Days of Our Lives actor’s split from his wife, Shantel VanSanten. The woman is also popular for her roles in “The Boys” and “One Tree Hill.” Webster and VanSanten first met while filming the 2017 Hallmark movie Love Blossoms.
Sadly, the couple filed for divorce in January 2023, less than two years after tying the knot. Additionally, court documents reveal they’ve found a common ground on how to split their assets.
It includes custody arrangements for their beloved dog, Nova. Webster now has sole ownership of Nova, but VanSanten can still visit her furry friend for extended periods. But, there’s a catch to the whole arrangement if VanSanten keeps Nova for over three weeks.
She has to fork over $10,000 a day until the dog is returned. Furthermore, the Days star often shares updates about Nova on his Instagram. Victor recently posted about Nova’s love for outdoor activities.
“Baby girl loves adventures. I get out and explore so much more because she enjoys it so much.” He added, “Cheers to my adventure buddy. Pure of heart, full of love, and will never let me down.”
Subsequently, fans are usually in awe over this adorable bond. One fan joked, “Oh, Nova loves you so much, she would scramble eggs for your breakfast and serve them to you.” They added, “Clearly, you are her King, and it’s a special treat for your fans to share your adventures together with us.”
However, Nova wasn’t the only pet the divorced couple shared. The duo also had two cats, Finnegan and Phillippa. Now, Webster’s brother, Vince, will look after these adorable felines. Interestingly, VanSanten will contribute $1500 per year to Vince for the cats’ care as long as they’re alive and under his roof.
