Far from a flop! Christina Haack and Joshua Hall’s sweet love story has captivated fans since they first announced their relationship in July 2021.
Following her divorce from Ant Anstead, the Christina on the Coast star was spotted with a handsome stranger who Us Weekly subsequently confirmed was Hall. Soon after, Haack opened up about her new relationship in a lengthy Instagram post, noting she wanted to “protect” her new beau from all the hard parts of life in the spotlight.
“I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight. … The synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore,” she wrote on July 8, 2021. “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.”
The HGTV star then detailed how her relationship had progressed since the pair officially got together. According to a source, they’d first met years earlier during a real estate conference.
“We’ve had a few solid months of just us getting to know each other and I’ve loved every second of it,” Haack wrote.
The Wellness Remodel author also slammed critics who said the relationship came along too soon.
“Yes ‘another relationship’ and guess what. I’m 38 — I’ll do what I want,” she added. “The synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore.”
Before her marriage to Anstead, Haack was married to her Flip or Flop costar Tarek El Moussa. The California native seems to approve of his ex-wife’s new relationship, having told Entertainment Tonight in July 2021 that he’s met Hall “a few times” through real estate work.
The Tarek’s Flip Side host also said that he thinks Hall “seems like” a good guy.
“[I] don’t really know him, but I sure hope so,” he added.
The former costars share two children: daughter Taylor, born in 2010, and son Brayden, born in 2015. Haack also shares son Hudson, born in 2019, with Anstead.
“I never thought I would have one divorce let alone two,” Haack wrote via Instagram in September 2020 to announce her second split. “I never thought I would have 2 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. So while some may judge me and throw around rumors about me, most of you support me. And that says a lot about this world and where we are headed. I’m messy, I’m real and I’m working on healing. … We are all a work in progress.”

Shortly after making her relationship Instagram official, Haack clapped back at trolls who criticized her for moving on. “I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight … I had taken time off social, hired a spiritual coach and smoked a Bufo toad (which basically reset my brain and kicked out years of anxiety in 15 mins),” she wrote via Instagram on July 8, 2021. “I may be a bit crazy and im definitely not perfect but I will never live my life based on other peoples judgments or opinions. We pride ourselves on never judging others and always wanting others to be happy and we wish others would have the same respect. Josh doesn’t have social media, but I want to thank him for whisking me away on a romantic tropical vacation he planned entirely on his own. ❤️✈️.” MEGA

The designer gave her man a shout-out for sticking by her side amid reports that she and ex-husband El Moussa were feuding on the set of their HGTV series, “Ride or Die." 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,” she captioned a selfie with Hall. “Remember that before making judgements and assumptions … and this woman/mama is still lucky enough to have this man choose me.❤️.” Courtesy of Christina Haack/Instagram
