Christina Haack and Josh Hall’s Relationship Timeline: From Love and Marriage to a Messy Divorce

Early July 2021

Josh and Christina’s relationship was first revealed in early July, when paparazzi photos showed the couple being loved up while visiting a natural swimming hole in Tulum, Mexico.

July 8, 2021

Christina came clean about her new relationship. “I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight … When we met this past spring, the synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore,” she told fans.

“We’ve had a few solid months of just us getting to know each other and I’ve loved every second of it,” Christina said of letting her romance with Josh grow without it being public knowledge.

July 11, 2021

Christina posted a series of photos from her vacation to Mexico with Josh. They went snorkeling, explored sea caves and had romantic dinners. “Thank you to my man for kicking off my 38th with a whimsical dream vacation,” Christina captioned the snapshots. Her birthday was on July 9th, two days prior to the post.

July 21, 2021

Christina posted a loved-up photo of her caressing Josh’s thigh with her hand. She called him her “ride or die” and declared, “Some people are lucky enough to get forever the first time, but no one should be shamed for things not working out and no one knows what goes on behind closed doors – remember that before making judgements and assumptions … and this woman/mama is still lucky enough to have this man choose me.”

Christina called Josh her “number one” in this sweet photo in early August. She went on to add that she was in love, writing, “Life is short. Do what you love with the ones you love. For me, that’s Josh, my kids and a few close friends and co-workers.”

August 14, 2021

The couple had a romantic seafood dinner at Mastro’s in Newport Beach, California. Christina shared a photo of the pair holding hands and declared it a “date night.”

August 15, 2021

Did a proposal go down during the prior “date night?” Christina shared a photo the following day with Josh and his mom in front of Newport Harbor. A large ring could be seen on her engagement finger while holding a glass of champagne. Christina quickly took down the picture and replaced it with a nearly identical snapshot in which she wasn’t wearing any jewelry on her left hand, as seen in the photo seen below.

The Flip or Flop star simply captioned the snap, “Boat day with friends, my man and his pretty mama.”

September 20, 2021

Officially engaged! Christina shared a photo with Josh while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where she proudly showed off her gorgeous engagement ring by the light of the full moon.

November 23, 2021

In a photo cuddling with Christina’s youngest son, Hudson, whom she shares with ex-husband Ant Anstead, the Flip or Flop star gushed about Josh, “As the oldest of 11 siblings [blended family] it’s no wonder he’s a natural at stepping up as a step daddy.” Christina’s wording and the fact that Josh had been hiding his left hand and ring finger in recent photos, made some fans suspect the pair had already secretly wed.

December 25, 2021

Josh and Christina spent their first Christmas together as an engaged couple, along with her three children from previous marriages. “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night,” she wrote in the blended family holiday photo.

January 16, 2022

Christina clapped back at haters of her whirlwind romance and engagement to Josh, writing next to a photo of the couple vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, “Too fast, too soon, too blah blah blah … that feeling of pure bliss / those deep convos, love is what it is.” The HGTV star shared another photo of the couple near the beach, where she held his left hand as to cover up any wedding band on his finger, prompting fresh rumors of a secret wedding or elopement.

March 2022

Christina shared a photo from when she and Josh began dating to commemorate their one-year anniversary as a couple. Next to the Instagram snapshot of the pair in each other’s arms, the former Flip or Flop star wrote lyrics from Chris Stapleton’s hit “Starting Over” that read: When nobody wins afraid of losing. And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing … Someday we’ll look back and smile and know it was worth every mile.”

June 2022

Christina debuted her and Josh’s brand-new house by sharing a video montage via Instagram.

“Celebrating and settling in,” she captioned her Instagram post in June 2022. “Absolutely obsessed with our new home. Finally all boxes are checked. We made a wish list of every single thing we wanted in a home and then the next day, this off-market listing appeared before us. Manifesting at its finest. This home has the best vibes ever, time to make it our own.”

September 2022

The happy couple held a scenic beachfront wedding ceremony in Hawaii, with Christina sharing the news via Instagram on September 3.

“Shared vows in front of family and our close friends,” the Flip or Flop alum captioned a photo featuring her and Josh embracing by the ocean. “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. Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night filled with love.”

July 16, 2024

Life & Style confirmed on July 16, 2024, that Josh had filed for divorce from Christina the day prior after a little more than two years of marriage. He cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split and listed their date of separation as July 8, 2024, according to court documents. Christina filed her own divorce on July 16, 2024, but said they separated on July 7, 2024.

July 24, 2024

Christina claimed in court paperwork obtained by Entertainment Tonight on July 24, 2024, that Josh diverted “over $35,000 of my separate property rental income into his account.”

“I am asking for Josh to account for the funds taken and return them to me as those funds are specifically used to pay any loans, obligations, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance for these rental properties,” she stated in the docs, per the outlet.

July 26, 2024

As the divorce heated up, Christina broke her silence on Instagram and slammed her estranged husband as an “insecure man.”

“Over here waiting for the typical hired PR speech of ‘how I was blindsided and how I’m working on myself and taking time to heal at her ranch’ … Meanwhile, I’m over here not as nice and quiet as I used to be,” she wrote on her Stories. Christina added that she has “worked my ass off to build this life for myself and my children” and said that “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 to derail you — but ‘still I rise,’” she continued.

She pointed out that “divorces do not happen overnight” and “there is always a breaking point.”

“I didn’t block him – and I didn’t see any missed calls or texts the next day. Which happened to be my birthday,” Christina said. “Something’s not adding up here. But I’m down to keep playing ‘Christina Vs. the Victim’ as I love this game.”

October 2024

Amid the couple’s divorce, Christina announced she had listed her Tennessee home for sale on October 4. Days later, on October 9, however, Josh attempted to block the sale. He filed documents asking the court to prevent or postpone the sale of the property.

The Leiper’s Fork house was taken off the market on October 26, Life & Style later confirmed.

November 2024

Season 2 of Christina in the Country premiered on HGTV and fans were surprised to see Josh in the first episode. The season was filmed prior to their July divorce filing.

December 2024

Christina opened up to ex-husband Tarek El Moussa about her split from Josh in a preview for their upcoming HGTV show, The Flip Off, which was shared by People on December 12, 2024.

“Josh and I officially split up,” Christina emotionally told Tarek. “We had a blow up … middle fingers in my face. Things with Josh have been bad for a long time.”

The reality star also shared that her and Tarek’s two kids, Taylor and Brayden, encouraged her to leave Josh.

“The kids literally asked me to leave,” she 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. Everything since like 2016 has been so hard and so horrible. It’s really taken a really bad toll on me.”

January 12, 2025

Christina kicked off the new year by revealing there was no sign of a settlement in her divorce from Josh and that the case was likely headed to court.

“We’re going to be going to trial, I hear. He doesn’t want to do mediation. It’s gonna be fun. Can’t wait,” the home renovator explained during a January 12, 2025, appearance on Radio Andy’s Jeff Lewis Live.

Christina said she feared she’ll end up paying for Josh’s attorney fees, telling host Jeff Lewis, “They haven’t ordered me yet, but he’s been asking. I’ve already had to give a little something.”

She went on to claim Josh blew the money on an expensive car and was not currently working.

“I gave him money to live and then he bought a Bentley, but then he also doesn’t have a job,” Christina revealed. “But he drives a Bentley, so I’m sure he’s pulling a lot of chicks.”

January 13, 2025

The day after Christina snarked about Josh’s “chick magnet” car, the former realtor debuted his new girlfriend.

Josh hard launched his romance with Stephanie Gabrys, sharing an Instagram Story photo on January 13, 2025, of the pair celebrating her birthday cuddled up together next to a roaring outdoor fire pit. “Happy 35th to this real life angel,” he wrote in a birthday tribute to the model.

“Josh met someone wonderful in Nashville, and they have been happily dating for some time,” a source told Us Weekly on January 10, 2025. “He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret. Josh is just low-key,” the insider told the outlet. “He is very happy with his life and looking forward to 2025 and what’s on the horizon. This is the happiest he’s been in some time.”

The same day that Josh made his romance with Stephanie Instagram official, he slammed Christina’s comments about his love life.

“Hall is not available for comment, as he’s continuing to live his life in the present and celebrating his beautiful new girlfriend’s birthday,” the statement shared to Us Weekly read. “With that said, it’s sad Christina must resort to low blows about her ex Josh to promote her new show.”

The statement continued, “She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, ‘Why you so obsessed with me?’ We wish Christina the best.”

January 14, 2025

Christina and new boyfriend Chris Larocca were photographed in public for the first time, boarding a commercial flight out of LAX airport on January 14, 2025. A source exclusively told Life & Style that the two “had been friends for a while” before things turned romantic. “She’s already told friends not to worry, she won’t be rushing into another marriage. She’s learned her lesson, now she says she wants to be engaged for at least five years,” the insider added.

The same day, Christina clapped back at Josh’s statement, sharing the quotes in an Instagram Story and writing, “I just threw up in my mouth. Quoting a Mariah Carey song is a new low … even for you. Trust me idgaf about Josh’s life. I do, however, care about his bts tactics. Narcissism at its finest.”

January 16, 2025

Christina was ordered to pay Josh a portion of the earnings received from the sale of their Nashville, Tennessee, home.

“No later than five days after the close of escrow, Respondent (Christina) is ordered to deposit $150,000 from the sale of the home into Respondent’s counsel–client trust account that is interest-bearing with restricted access,” the documents viewed by Life & Style on January 16, 2025, read.

Christina purchased the home in February 2021. It was featured in her HGTV spinoff, Christina in the Country.
