Christina Haack just opened up about her divorce from Josh Hall. Here’s a timeline of their relationship and messy split.

• Christina Haack and Josh Hall’s divorce was finalized in August.
• Haack has been divorced three times, as she was previously married to two other HGTV stars.
• Haack shed light on when her relationship with Hall fell apart in a new interview.

When Christina Haack celebrated her marriage to Josh Hall in September 2022, she said she was more certain than ever that her life was on track.

In a deleted Instagram post, Haack wrote, “Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be.”

Three years later, Haack and Hall are divorced, and she said in a new interview with People that they had been struggling for “a long time” when they first separated in July 2024.

Here’s a timeline of Hall and Haack’s relationship, their sudden separation, and the impact of their divorce on their professional lives.

Haack and Hall first became romantically involved in the spring of 2021.

According to US Weekly, Haack and Hall first met at a real-estate conference sometime in the late 2010s, but they didn’t start dating until the spring of 2021.

Haack was married to her “Flip or Flop” costar, Tarek El Moussa, from 2009 to 2018, and they had two children together — Taylor and Brayden — before they separated in 2016. She married Ant Anstead at the end of 2018, and they welcomed their son Hudson together before they separated in September 2020.

Haack and Hall did not initially announce they were dating, but she shared a photo they took together in March 2021 on her Instagram in March 2022, confirming they were an item by sometime that spring.

Haack confirmed their relationship in July 2021.

Page Six photographed them together publicly in July 2021. On the same day the photos were published, Haack addressed their relationship in a now-deleted Instagram post, saying she wanted to keep it private from the media.

“I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight,” she captioned the post. “When we met this past spring, the synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore. I felt immediately crazy protective over him and wanted to keep him for myself and get to know each other before the tornado (media attention) hit.”

“We decided whats in the past, is in the past. We aren’t looking at all the nonsense online,” she added. “So yes ‘another relationship’ and guess what. I’m 38 — I’ll do what I want.”

The couple continued their relationship in the public eye, announcing in September 2021 that they were engaged with now-deleted Instagram photos Haack shared from a trip to Mexico.

Haack and Hall shared that they got married in April 2022, though legal documents reveal they actually got married in October 2021.

Representatives for the couple confirmed Haack and Hall were married on April 5, 2022, after she changed her last name on social media from Haack, her maiden name, to Hall.

However, according to documents reviewed by Business Insider, both Hall and Haack listed their marriage date as October 6, 2021, when they filed for divorce in July 2024, indicating they were married before publicly sharing the news.

The couple bought a $12 million mansion in Newport Beach, California, in May 2022, which Haack called their “long-term family home” in a since-deleted Instagram.

In September 2022, they celebrated their marriage with a second wedding in Maui, Hawaii, surrounded by family and friends.

Haack involved Hall in her professional life as their relationship got more serious.

In March 2022, Haack announced on Instagram in a now-deleted post that she and Hall were forming their own production company, Unbroken Productions. The name appeared to be a nod to Hall’s Instagram, which has the handle @unbrokenjosh.

The company took over production of “Christina on the Coast” starting with season four and produced “Christina in the Country,” both of which aired on HGTV. Hall has appeared in both shows.

Speaking to Business Insider in July 2023, Haack said it was an adjustment to be a producer because she had worked with her previous production company for a decade.

“It was a lot more work for me than anything in the past because we’re co-producers. It’s a lot more off-camera work than I’m used to,” she said. “It’s gonna be worth it, but it was a hard year.”

In May 2024, HGTV announced that Haack and Hall would star in a new series alongside Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa.

In the series, “The Flip Off,” Haack and Hall were set to compete against the El Moussas.

In its announcement, HGTV said the show would feature the couples competing against each other in “a battle to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain.”

Filming for the show began in the summer of 2024.

Then, in July 2024, Hall and Haack separated abruptly during filming for “The Flip Off.”

According to paperwork reviewed by Business Insider, Hall filed for divorce from Haack on July 12, 2024, listing their date of separation as July 8. In his petition, he requested spousal support.

Haack deleted several posts featuring Hall from her Instagram when news of their separation went public on July 16, and she submitted a response and her own request for the dissolution of their marriage on July 23, 2024.

Haack listed their separation date as July 7, 2024, a day earlier than Hall did.

Along with her divorce filing, Haack requested an order asking the court to grant her sole access to their Newport Beach home and two properties in Tennessee immediately.

Haack said she wanted sole access to the Newport Beach home primarily to protect her children.

“I do not want to have a situation where there is a misunderstanding or any conflict, especially in front of my children,” she said in her filing.

Haack also said that although the Newport Beach home was legally owned by both her and Hall, it was purchased with money from the sale of her previous residence in Dana Point, California.

She added that Hall came to the home unscheduled and “took items” after their separation on July 7, 2024, and that he plugged in security cameras Haack intentionally unplugged per a request from his lawyer.

“Josh’s attorney sent a letter demanding that I preserve electronic evidence without it being automatically deleted, so I unplugged cameras so the system would not automatically overwrite the hard drive,” Haack wrote in her filing. “Each time Josh has returned to the house he has plugged the cameras back in, which would allow him to keep me and my children under surveillance. I object to him having that access into my home.”

Haack also asked the court to make Hall return $35,000 to her.

Haack asked the court to instruct Hall to return $35,000, which she said he had transferred on July 8 “without my authorization,” to the personal account he had used before their marriage.

“On July 21, 2024, I learned that on July 8, 2024, which is the day after I communicated to Josh that I would be filing for dissolution, Josh contacted my professional property manager via text and stated ‘Hi. For June payments, can we please get it sent to a different account when it’s time? Thank you,'” she said, attaching a screenshot of the message to the filing.

“The statement ‘can we please’ is not accurate as I had no personal contact with Josh on July 8, 2024,” Haack said. “I would not have asked him to send himself my money the day after I told him we are getting divorced.”

Haack also addressed Hall’s request for spousal support in her RFO.

“I understand that at some point this Court may require that I pay some spousal support to Josh and reasonable attorney’s fees to his counsel,” she wrote. “However, it is my belief that this is a simple case with straightforward accounting over a short time period, any fees and costs should be minimal.”

“Like all hard-working mothers, my life revolves around my children and my work,” she continued. “It is my understanding that Josh has his own income and therefore he should not need any spousal support from me. He has sufficient assets of his own to pay his own attorney’s fees and costs.”

She said she was “shocked and concerned” that he transferred $35,000 of her “separate property money” to his personal account.

“The fact that this is the same date he now alleges to be our date of separation, even though it is actually July 07, 2024, makes it clear why he chose the next day,” Haack said. “It makes me wonder what else I am not aware of as it relates to his financial situation and that is why I am having a full forensic accounting performed for the entire term of our marriage.”

Haack opened up about the separation on social media in July 2024.

Haack shared a series of Instagram stories about her separation from Hall on July 25 and 26, 2024.

“Over here waiting for the typical Hired PR speech of ‘how I was blindsided and how I’m working on myself and I’m taking time to heal at her ranch,'” Haack wrote in her story on July 25. “Meanwhile I’m over here not as nice and quiet as I used to be.”

“I have worked my ass off to build this life for myself and my children and anyone who would try and take what they do not deserve/what they did NOT work for should be ashamed. An insecure man with a large ego can sure try and derail you — but ‘still I rise,'” she said, appearing to quote Maya Angelou. “For those that aren’t aware…divorces do not happen overnight.. & there is always a breaking point. This one is personal.”

Then, on July 26, 2024, Haack responded to a TMZ article that quoted “a source close to” Hall. The unnamed source told the outlet that Hall was “blindsided” when Haack said she wanted a divorce and that she “stopped speaking to him after a disagreement.”

Haack said in her post that Hall had not tried to contact her.

“I didn’t block him — and I didn’t see any missed calls or texts the next day,” Haack wrote in her story. “Which happened to be my birthday. Strange — No flowers, no cards, no messages like ‘Hope you have a nice birthday.'”

“Something’s not adding up here,” she added. “But I’m down to keep playing ‘Christina Vs. The Victim’ as I love this game.”

She also responded to a separate TMZ article about the $35,000 Hall transferred to his account. TMZ reported that “a source close to Josh” said he transferred the money to pay bills “for their rental properties, which they co-owned.”

Haack said she was the sole owner of the property in question.

“Pretty sure I bought this before I met you and a 1031 exchange,” she wrote on Instagram. “Handled the bills? Like paid for them with your money? Uhh ya nooo. Def not.”

Hall responded with a social media post of his own in August 2024.

On August 2, 2024, Hall shared a now-deleted photo of himself with his dog on Instagram, saying in the caption that he would “not publicly badmouth anyone” amid the divorce.

“I prefer privacy, especially during something as life-changing as a divorce I did not ask for,” he wrote in his caption, appearing to confirm Haack requested their separation. “I will not publicly badmouth anyone, as people have families, friends, and others who respect and love them. Unfortunately, the internet is forever.””We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters,” Hall said. “Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.”

Hall also removed posts related to “The Flip Off” from his Instagram.

Hall questioned Haack’s narrative in his response to her request for order in August 2024.

Hall filed a response to Haack’s RFO on August 29, 2024. In the response reviewed by Business Insider, Hall said he was “generally unopposed to the relief Christina has requested.”

However, he also accused Haack of using “scorched-earth divorce tactics.” In his response, Hall said he did not transfer the $35,000 for his personal use, instead using it to manage their Franklin, Tennessee, property. Still, he said a separate property manager handles day-to-day activities at the home.

“I made this request because I needed access to the rental income so I could continue to pay ongoing expenses and responsibilities related to the properties, which I directly handle,” he said, pointing to expenses like paying housekeepers or internet services.

He also said he transferred the money after Haack removed his access to their joint American Express account and his access to his LLC account for their rental properties on July 7, 2024.

Hall also denied plugging in the cameras at the Newport Beach home after Haack disconnected them. In addition, he said he only went to the property twice in July to retrieve personal items. When he was there on July 15, he said he was “confronted by Christina and two of her friends.”

“They proceeded to follow me around while recording me with their cellphones,” he said in his response. “Christina began making financial threats toward me, demanding to know how much money I intend to ‘steal’ from her as part of a settlement in our case.”

Hall’s response also said that he went to the Newport home on August 2, 2024, to retrieve the remainder of his personal belongings, which he and Haack agreed upon through their lawyers.

“When I arrived on this date, Christina had notified the paparazzi, who were waiting for me outside the home,” Hall said in his response. “Christina then spread lies through the press that she did ‘not know’ I would be coming to the house on that date. This can be disproved through documented communications between our lawyers, which I have reviewed.”

People published photos of Hall at the Newport Beach home, but the piece said the photos were taken on August 4, 2024, not August 2, as Hall’s response said.

In September 2024, the court ordered Hall to return Haack’s $35,000 and also ordered her to pay him $100,000.

A stipulation and order filed on September 4, 2024, temporarily resolved Haack’s RFO and Hall’s response before a divorce hearing scheduled for October 8, 2024.

The order granted Haack exclusive access to the Newport Beach and Nashville properties, while allowing Hall to use their Franklin, Tennessee, home when it was not occupied by short-term renters. It also gave Haack exclusive ownership over both their California and Tennessee LLCs.

The stipulation said that Hall would return “the remaining funds in his possession” of the $35,000 he transferred to his account on July 8 and provide Haack with his accounting information for that date.

In addition, Haack agreed to send Hall $100,000 as an “uncharacterized and unallocated sum” within 48 hours of the document’s filing. The stipulation says he can use the money “for any purpose, including his interim financial needs as well as attorney’s fees, costs and forensic accounting fees.”

Haack and Hall then had three hearings in October 2024 regarding their divorce. In the hearings, Hall attempted to block Haack’s sale of their Franklin, Tennessee home. On November 13, People reported that Haack had taken the home off the market.

Haack filmed “The Flip Off” without Hall, and Ant Anstead even made a special appearance on the series.

In July 2024, Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa told paparazzi that production was “still going as planned without Josh” for “The Flip Off,” according to E! News.

In his response filed on August 29, 2024, Hall said he believed Haack was “seeking to have me removed from a contractual agreement we entered into for the production of a new HGTV show, ‘The Flip Off.'”

On December 12, 2024, HGTV confirmed that Haack competed against the El Moussas solo after she and Hall split.

Haack and the El Moussas continued to share promos for the series without Hall throughout the fall of 2024. On November 7, 2024, Haack was photographed on the set of “The Flip Off” with her ex-husband Ant Anstead, with whom she had been estranged after a tumultuous custody battle over their son Hudson in 2022.

However, the pair seemed to be on better terms following her split from Hall, with Haack re-following Anstead on Instagram in August 2024.

HGTV confirmed on December 12, 2024, that Anstead would appear on the series as a judge, alongside other home improvement and reality stars, including Amanza Smith from “Selling Sunset.”

Haack said Hall was “insecure” in a November 2024 interview.

Hall appeared in the season two premiere of HGTV’s “Christina in the Country” on November 12, 2024. The series, which Haack and Hall co-produced, was filmed before they separated.

Haack posted about the season premiere on Instagram but didn’t mention Hall.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight that aired on November 15, 2024, Haack said she “did not enjoy” filming with her ex when discussing “The Flip Off,” saying she was glad he was no longer part of the series.

“It was not fun, to be honest,” Haack said of filming with Hall. “I did not enjoy filming with him. So having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier.”

Haack said “the show would have been hard to film” if she and Hall had stayed together, partly because of his “jealousy over Tarek.”

Haack also said that Hall being “insecure” 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.

“I feel like I was not shining as bright to try to not make him feel emasculated,” she added. “Who wants to live like that?”

She also told ET she had been telling Hall for “at least a year” that “things were bad” despite his assertion that he was “blindsided” by their separation.

“For someone who says she moved on from Josh, Haack can’t stop bringing him up,” a source familiar with Hall told Business Insider of Haack’s ET interview. “Josh has tried to move on with his life and has asked to keep the divorce private. Josh has no desire to play into any of this.”

Haack opened up to Tarek El Moussa about the split on “The Flip Off.”

HGTV announced on December 12, 2024, that “The Flip Off” would premiere on January 29, 2025, sharing a photo of the El Moussas and Haack on Instagram.

At the same time, the network also released a clip of the series, in which Haack shared with Tarek El Moussa on camera that she and Hall had broken up.

The scene appeared to be filmed at Haack’s Newport Beach home, and she told El Moussa after he arrived: “Josh and I officially split up.”

She detailed the breakup to him, saying she and Hall had a “blowup” fight during which he put his “middle fingers” in her face.

In her conversation with El Moussa, Haack said that she and Hall had been struggling “for a long time.” She also told him their children spoke to her about the relationship.

“The kids literally asked me to leave,” Haack said. “They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?”

“I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time, and I just can’t get out of it,” she added.

The tension between Hall and Haack was evident in the show.

HGTV shared another clip of the premiere of “The Flip Off” on January 2, showing an interaction between Haack and Hall as they drove to see the house they were set to flip together for the show.

Hall told Haack he would do “whatever it takes to win” the competition against the El Moussas, adding, “Halls rule.”

Haack didn’t respond, leading Hall to tell her she was “rude.”

“Remember, you’re a Hall now,” he told her. “Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is.”

Though he seemed frustrated she wasn’t speaking, Hall also said Haack annoyed him when she did talk.

“You know how much shit you say and I’m just like, ‘I wish you’d shut up already?'” Hall said.

“My wife’s pissing me off already,” he said before the video cut to the clip of Haack telling Tarek El Moussa about the divorce.

On January 6, Hall posted a screenshot of a Fox News article about the clip on his Instagram story, captioning it that the teaser showed “manufactured drama.”

“TFW you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity 🏠 designers, so you rely on manufactured drama with me, a nobody. @hgtv, you’ve changed,” he wrote.

Haack responded to Hall’s story on her own Instagram story, posting a screenshot of his story with a caption of her own.

“Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at HGTV told you to be rude to me,” she wrote. “That was all natural.”

She posted a second story, which was a selfie of her crying in a car.

“This was taken June 21, 2024,” she captioned the photo. “After one of my shoots with Josh. This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”

Both Haack and Hall went public with new relationships in January 2025.

Hall and Haack’s divorce proceedings were ongoing in early 2025, but that didn’t stop them from starting new relationships.

On January 13, Hall hard-launched his relationship with Stephanie Gabrys, a model who splits her time between Nashville, Florida, and Chicago, according to her Instagram.

Meanwhile, Haack also has a new romantic interest. On January 11, People reported Haack was in a relationship with Christopher Larocca, the CEO of Network Connex.

Haack hard-launched Larocca on her Instagram with a post on February 5, and she shared another photo of herself and Larocca on a double date with the El Moussas on February 12. However, she told US Weekly that she would want to “be engaged for a minimum of, like, five years” before tying the knot again.

Haack said Hall had been appearing in her neighborhood in March 2025.

Haack offered snippets of information about her divorce on “The Flip Off,” which was filmed in the fall of 2024. In episode three, she said their proceedings had been stalled because Hall requested $3.5 million from her, and she said in episode five that she wished she had a prenup agreement with him.

Tension continued to brew between the exes off-screen as the show aired. People reported that Haack called Hall a “snake” on her Instagram story when she ran into him during dinner with Heather Rae El Moussa and Taylor in February.

Then, on March 27, 2025, Haack shared during an appearance on the “Jeff Lewis Live” show that she had seen Hall walking around her neighborhood, though he lives in Tennessee full-time.

Lewis, a guest judge on “The Flip Off,” asked Haack when she last saw Hall.

“Oh, does your ex ever wander around in your neighborhood?” Haack responded.

“I’ve seen mine twice this month on my usual everyday walk,” she said. “I literally do the same walk every day, and two times now, I’ve seen him.”

Haack said Hall was walking alone on the two occasions she saw him and that he did not greet her. Lewis asked if Hall was possibly walking in the area because he felt “nostalgic” for their time together in Newport Beach, but Haack seemed to find that hard to believe.

“So he flies all the way from Tennessee just to walk my neighborhood and then flies home?” Haack said through laughter.

When contacted by Business Insider for this story, a spokesperson for Hall said he was walking in Haack’s neighborhood because he “still has ties to Newport Beach and still visits and stays with friends in the same area he once lived.”

“While visiting, he jogs in a familiar known path for joggers,” the spokesperson said. “It’s no secret as he has posted it on his Instagram. Maybe that’s where she has seen him, but he’s definitely not looking for her, he’s just staying fit.”

The spokesperson shared that statement with multiple outlets on March 27. The same day, Haack shared a screenshot of an X post to her Instagram story that seemed to be a response, writing, “Oh, the accuracy.”

“A narcissist’s mindset,” the post read. “That didn’t happen, and if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, it’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you made me do it.”

Haack and Hall settled their divorce in May 2025, and it was finalized in August.

In May 2025, Haack shared on her Instagram Story that she and Hall reached a settlement in their divorce by thanking her legal team, but the divorce wasn’t fully finalized until August.

According to the terms of the divorce agreement, which Business Insider reviewed, Hall was awarded a property in Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, and a condominium in Nashville, while Haack got their Newport Beach home and a property in Franklin, Tennessee. Haack also retained the rights to any LLCs and business interests she had since their separation.

Despite Hall’s earlier requests for spousal support, he and Haack ended up waiving spousal support in the final agreement. However, Haack gave Hall a $300,000 equalization payment in May as part of the settlement, which came from the proceeds of the sale of a property in Nashville. She also paid Hall $40,000 in legal fees and a separate $100,000, originally an unallocated sum set aside as part of a Stipulation and Order in September 2024.

On August 28, Hall posted about the divorce on his Instagram, writing in the caption of a post that he was “finally legally divorced and a free man.”

“I’ve always worked hard, kept what’s mine, and declined hand outs, and I’m keeping it that way. Lesson learned: don’t marry someone who needs constant public validation and will use your personal drama for attention,” his caption read.

In October, Haack told People she and Hall had been struggling for “a long time” when they filmed “The Flip Off.”

Haack appeared on the cover of People on Wednesday, opening up to the outlet about her divorce and relationship with Hall.

Haack told People’s Mackenzie Schmidt that her latest divorce “does feel like a fresh start in that for once I’m actually in control of my destiny, and that feels really good.”

Haack also said that although they separated while filming “The Flip Off,” she and Hall had been having relationship troubles for “years” ahead of their split.

“In all honesty, I didn’t want to film the show with Josh,” she told People. “We hadn’t been getting along in a long time, and I’m not talking about weeks, like years. The network knew I didn’t want to, and I had even told Tarek I didn’t want to. He joked and said, ‘Whatever. You guys are just going to split up in episode two, and then the show will go on and everything will be fine.'”

Haack said she got closer with the El Moussas and Anstead following her split from Hall, saying they all have “a bigger appreciation for each other.”

“I think my kids love that they know that anyone can come over here,” she said. “It’s not weird at all. It’s wonderful.”

Haack also told People that she and Larocca are not considering marriage, though they have been an item for over a year.

“We’re taking things slow,” she said. “I promise. We’re not having children together. We’re not in a rush. We don’t have a timeline. He’s a super busy man. He has his own life, his own friends, his own career, and he’s pragmatic.”
