Christina and her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa embarked on their Flip or Flop journey in 2011 when they sent in an audition tape to HGTV. They began filming their home renovation series in 2012 and the first season premiered one year later. As a dynamic house-flipping duo, the pair were a hit with viewers, leading to a long relationship with the network.

The real estate investors welcomed their daughter, Taylor, in September 2010. After finding fame with their show, Christina and Tarek decided to expand their family once more. Their son, Brayden, was born in August 2015. One year later, they announced their split. Their divorce was finalized in January 2018. After their divorce, Christina kept Tarek’s last name.

Both Tarek and Christina moved on with other partners after their divorce. She married her second husband, Ant Anstead, in December 2018. She changed her name to Christina Anstead after their nuptials. The California native and the English TV personality welcomed one child together, son Hudson, in September 2019. One year after their son’s birth, Christina and Ant announced their separation.

“Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority,” the mom of three wrote on Instagram in September 2020. “We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.”

After their divorce was finalized in June 2021, Christina began going by her maiden name, Haack. At the time, she was dating Josh Hall, a real estate agent. The couple announced their engagement on social media in September 2021. Christina and Josh secretly got married in April 2022, with the Brother vs. Brother judge changing her last name to Hall.

The lovebirds have not held back from putting their love on display on social media since their private nuptials. They moved into a new California home together in June 2022.

“Celebrating and settling in. Absolutely obsessed with our new home,” Christina captioned a video of the property on Instagram. “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.”

Christina Initially Wanted to Pursue a Different Career Path

In a September 2020 Instagram post, Christina revealed that she never envisioned herself becoming a TV star.

“I never thought about being on TV,” she admitted. “I wanted to be a sports agent like Jerry Maguire. But I always loved looking at houses with my parents, especially model homes and I always wanted to be my own boss.”

She Got Candid About Her 2 Divorces

After getting divorced twice, the Christina in the Country host still remained optimistic about what the future held before meeting Josh.

“I never thought I would have one divorce, let alone two,” Christina penned on Instagram. “I never thought I would have two baby daddies — but sometimes life throws us curve balls. Instead of getting stuck in these ‘setbacks,’ I choose to look at these challenges as opportunities to grow.”

Her Husband Has a Huge Family

Josh grew up in a large family, something that has helped him get acclimated to being a stepdad.

“So, he has a lot of experience with kids even though he wasn’t a father, he was the oldest of 11 other kids,” she revealed in a January 2023 interview with People. “He’s used to little kids, and he’s taken it on really well and obviously loves them.”
