The Tumultuous Timeline of Christina Haack and Josh Hall's Relationship and Divorce
The relationship between HGTV star Christina Haack and Josh Hall, which began in the spring of 2021, ended in divorce finalized in August. Haack, who has been married three times, revealed details about their separation in a recent interview. This article explores the timeline of their relationship, separation, and its impact on their professional lives.
Early Romance and Public Confirmation
Christina Haack and Josh Hall reportedly met at a real-estate conference in the late 2010s but didn't begin dating until spring 2021. Haack had previously been married to "Flip or Flop" co-star Tarek El Moussa (2009-2018) and Ant Anstead (2018-2020). While they didn't initially announce their relationship, Haack confirmed it in July 2021 through an Instagram post, stating they had "synchronicities" and she felt "protective" over him.
In that now-deleted Instagram post, Haack wrote "I met Josh when I wasn't in a state of fear or fight-or-flight," also adding, "We decided whats in the past, is in the past. We aren't looking at all the nonsense online," expressing her desire to keep the relationship private.
Engagement, Marriage, and Shared Ventures
The couple announced their engagement in September 2021 and married in April 2022, though legal documents indicate they officially wed in October 2021. They purchased a $12 million mansion in Newport Beach in May 2022 and celebrated their marriage with a second wedding in Maui in September 2022. The couple formed a production company, Unbroken Productions, which took over production of "Christina on the Coast" and produced "Christina in the Country."
The Abrupt Separation and Divorce Proceedings
In July 2024, during filming for "The Flip Off," Hall and Haack separated. Hall filed for divorce on July 12, 2024, requesting spousal support. Haack responded with her own filing and requested sole access to their Newport Beach home and properties in Tennessee, citing concerns for her children's well-being. She accused Hall of taking items from the home and plugging in security cameras she had unplugged.
Haack also requested the court to order Hall to return $35,000 he had transferred from her account. In her filing, she stated, "I would not have asked him to send himself my money the day after I told him we are getting divorced." Haack addressed Hall's request for spousal support stating, "It is my understanding that Josh has his own income and therefore he should not need any spousal support from me."
Social Media Disputes and Legal Battles
Haack shared her feelings about the separation on Instagram, responding to media reports and Hall's version of events. Hall responded with his own social media post, stating he would "not publicly badmouth anyone." He also questioned Haack's narrative in his response to her request for order, accusing her of "scorched-earth divorce tactics." Hall denied transferring the $35,000 for personal use and denied plugging in the cameras.
In September 2024, the court ordered Hall to return Haack's $35,000 and also ordered her to pay him $100,000. Later that year, Haack filmed "The Flip Off" without Hall, and Ant Anstead made a special appearance on the series.
Professional Impacts and Public Commentary
HGTV confirmed that Haack competed against the El Moussas solo on "The Flip Off" after her split from Hall. She later stated she "did not enjoy" filming with Hall and that his "insecurity" caused problems in their relationship. "When someone is insecure by you and doesn't like to watch you win, that really, like, puts a damper on everything," Haack said.
Haack opened up to Tarek El Moussa about the split on "The Flip Off," revealing that the couple had been struggling for a long time and that her children asked her to leave. In January 2025, Hall posted that the series was "manufactured drama." Haack responded by stating "Pretty sure no one at HGTV told you to be rude to me. That was all natural."
New Relationships and Finalization of Divorce
Both Haack and Hall went public with new relationships in January 2025. In May 2025, Haack shared that she and Hall reached a settlement in their divorce. The divorce was finalized in August. On August 28, Hall stated on Instagram that he was "finally legally divorced and a free man."
Christina Haack opened up to People in October, sharing "In all honesty, I didn't want to film the show with Josh," stating she had been struggling for "years" with their relationship before their split. Despite the challenges, Haack said she got closer to the El Moussas and Anstead following her split from Hall. The divorce marks another chapter in Haack's personal life, as she now focuses on her career and new relationship.
