Christina Hall is getting divorced.
On Tuesday, Josh Hall, with whom Christina has been romantically involved since early 2021, filed for divorce in Orange County, citing irreconcilable differences. They have been married for less than three years.
Josh was Christina’s third husband. She was previously married to Tarek El Moussa, her longtime “Flip or Flop” costar, and Ant Anstead, another HGTV personality. Her maiden name was Haack, though her last name was still Hall at the time of writing.
Business Insider broke down Christina’s romantic history, from marrying Tarek El Moussa pre-fame to her split with Josh.

In May 2016, police went to the couple’s home because of “a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun,” TMZ reported at the time. El Moussa was seen running from his home with a firearm, which he dropped after police told him from a helicopter to release it, TMZ reported.
Seven months later, El Moussa and Christina announced their separation, acknowledging the incident in a statement to Us Weekly.
“Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage,” the statement said. “We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution.”
“There was no violence and no charges were filed. We chose to get counseling to sort out our relationship. Together, we have decided to separate while we reevaluate the future of our marriage,” the statement went on to say.
El Moussa reflected on the incident in his 2024 book, “Flip Your Life,” writing that he took his gun with him on a hike because of wildlife in the area after an argument with Christina, though that was not clear to Christina when she saw him hop their fence with the weapon in tow.
“That was the very last time we were together as a family: with Christina walking down the driveway, crying, and me sitting there in handcuffs, asking myself, ‘What in the world is going on?'” he wrote of the incident, adding that he was taking testosterone at the time. He quit the next day and ended up living in a halfway house shortly after.
Speaking to BI about his life in January, El Moussa said that hitting rock bottom helped him see what his true priorities are.
“I didn’t even realize how obsessed I was with my kids until I hit rock bottom, until I was on my own, until I started rebuilding my life,” he told BI.
“I wasn’t present. I wasn’t putting in the work,” he went on to say. “I wasn’t putting in the time that I put into flipping houses. I needed to put that time into being a dad.”

Anstead also posted about the separation on his Instagram, seeming to indicate Christina decided to end the marriage.

“I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight,” she wrote. “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.”

On April 28, 2022, Anstead filed an emergency request for full custody of Hudson.
In his court filing that Business Insider was able to review, Anstead said he was Hudson’s “primary parent,” and that Christina only spent an average of “9 full days each month” with their son.
He also said that Christina had put Hudson in “dangerous” situations, including a sunburn so severe it made him cry.
On another occasion, Anstead said Christina returned Hudson to him without telling him her family had COVID. “At the time my partner was filming her new project and her covid diagnosis placed the whole production on pause,” he said in the filing, referring to his current girlfriend, Renée Zellweger.
Anstead also said in the filing that Christina used her time with Hudson to post him on social media, sometimes for sponsored content. Anstead requested that a judge block Christina from posting Hudson in any “commercial endeavor” until they reached a new custody agreement.
Anstead requested a “regular” custody schedule that would give Christina visitation rights on “alternating weekends, Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m. commencing May 6, 2022, in California only, and except for vacations,” according to the court documents.
“This will allow Christina’s time to be stepped-up over the next several months to match the schedule she has with her other children,” the filing said.
Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by Business Insider.

“What Ant is doing deeply saddens me,” Christina said. “If this was really about Hudson, as he says, this should have been handled privately with a private judge or mediation, as myself and my attorney have suggested.”
“I have had my share of ups and downs, but I am a good mom and I love my children with all my heart and I will always protect them,” she went on to say.
A judge denied Anstead’s ex parte custody application on April 28 both because he did not give Christina enough notice and he did not provide sufficient evidence that Hudson was in danger, according to People.
Christina also filed a response to Anstead’s motion on April 29, which BI reviewed. She said she was “shocked” by the filing and said Anstead was “misleading” the court regarding their custody arrangement.
“Mr. Anstead has now taken the position that he is the defacto primary parent of our son, which is not accurate,” she said in the filing. “Anstead does not count any day wherein we exchange our son as a custodial day for me. He also counts days where I made an accommodation or gave a right of first refusal to him as his day.”
“That is why there is a huge discrepancy in his mind from our accurate schedule. His attempt to mislead the court is transparent when presented with the true facts,” Christina also said. “I do not count my accommodations as decreasing my custodial time, but as me being a supportive coparent.”
Representatives for Christina and Anstead did not respond to a request for comment from BI on the filing.

After his split from Christina, Tarek El Moussa remarried Heather Rae El Moussa in October 2021, and she quickly became a huge part of both his life and his children’s lives.
But she did not seem to immediately get along with Christina, as the Daily Mail published photos of Tarek appearing to pull Heather away from Christina during an argument at Brayden’s soccer game on May 9, 2022. The same article also featured photos of Josh and Tarek arguing and being separated by a coach.
Christina and Heather shared a joint statement with BI on the matter at the time.
“A personal matter was discussed and has since been resolved,” the statement said. “We are focused on co-parenting as a team moving forward.”
The altercation took place after Heather appeared to confirm that Tarek had called Heather a “hotter, richer version” of Christina during a fight, in addition to calling his ex a “washed-up loser,” as People reported in July 2021.
May 10, 2022: Christina and Heather seemed to make amends after Brayden went to the ER.

Shortly after the Daily Mail published photos of Christina and Heather’s argument, Brayden underwent an emergency appendectomy.
Christina shared on her Instagram story that Brayden’s surgery went well, adding that the experience was a “wake up call” for her. She tagged Josh, Tarek, and Heather in the post.
“Stressful 24 hours but a good reminder how important team work / co-parenting is,” she wrote on her story. “We are all under pressure but when it really matters we were all there for Brayden doing our part.”
“Sometimes a scary situation can be a good wake up call,” she went on to say. “In the end all the other stuff is just ‘noise,’ what matters is the kids.”
Heather echoed the sentiment in a selfie with Brayden and Tarek she shared on Instagram, which she tagged Josh and Christina in.
“We all pulled together as a family during this stressful time,” Heather wrote on the photo. “The kids will always be the main priority to all of us.”
September 4, 2022: Christina revealed that she and Josh had a second wedding in Maui, Hawaii.

In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Christina revealed she and Josh got married in September 2022 in front of their loved ones, including her children.
“Shared vows in front of family and our close friends,” she captioned the post. “Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be.”
“My dream man on the dreamiest island,” she added. “Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night filled with love.”

May 15, 2024: HGTV announced that the El Moussas and Halls would star in a new show together.
On May 15, HGTV shared a promo video for a new show called “The Flip Off,” starring the El Moussas and the Halls.
According to HGTV’s caption, the show will pit the two couples against each other in “a battle to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain.”
“Be on the lookout for the spicy new series that’ll have you saying, ‘What the flip?!'” the caption went on to say.
The show is scheduled for 2025, according to the post.
