If Christina Haack could return to the past with her current knowledge, she would never have crossed paths with her estranged husband, Josh Hall.
The HGTV reality TV star has been throwing shot after shot at her former beau on social media, with more criticisms captured on her new show “The Flip Off.” A recent episode captured her regretting their relationship, telling a friend she wished she had chosen differently.
Christina Haack has not had the best track record regarding marriage, with Josh Hall marking her third time down the aisle. She welcomed three kids from previous unions with Tarek El Moussa and Ant Anstead and seemingly has a better relationship with her exes than her estranged husband.

The February 26 episode of the TV show captured Christina updating her pal, Cassie, about her ongoing divorce drama. The latter visited her Newport Beach home and was surprised to find her garage clustered with quad bikes and ATVs, as they weren’t there before.
When Cassie asked where they came from, Christina smiled, saying, “Tennessee, sweetie.” The property in question referred to her Leiper’s Fork home, which made headlines last year after she placed it on the market.
At the time, Josh fought against the sale, claiming the former couple had agreed he would live there pending their divorce. His efforts seem to have paid off, as property records reportedly show the property had been taken off the market.

As for the current status of their divorce, Christina implied to Cassie that Josh’s alleged greed stopped them from progressing.
“It’s crazy. He wants to retire off me. Honestly, if I would’ve really understood the repercussions of all of this, I would’ve gotten a prenup, or I would’ve never married him,” she declared, per PEOPLE.

In the episode’s confessional-style segment, Christina shed more light on why her garage was clustered with things from her Tennessee home. She noted it was a necessary change, given the end of her marriage to Josh, saying:
“With everything going on and the fact that I’m not spending any time there anymore, I decided it was time to get all my stuff out of the house.”
Her confession comes weeks after she shared an update about her divorce on a February 8 episode. When contractor Michael Lange asked if she had any court dates coming up, Christina blamed the delay on Josh’s alleged hunger for her wealth.

Christina said her separation from Josh had stalled, thanks to his desire for an expensive settlement. “Court? Oh, it got postponed because he made a horrible offer,” she told Lange, adding, “He asked for $3.5 million from me.”
This wasn’t the first time Christina had accused Josh of desiring her wealth, as she claimed he requested $65,000 monthly in spousal support last year. However, the latter vehemently denied her claims, calling them “false statements.”
Josh moved to end his ties to Christina after nearly three years of marriage in July 2024. He cited Hollywood’s favorite reason to split, “irreconcilable differences,” in his papers and requested spousal support.
He has since moved on with the model Stephanie Gabrys, while Christina is dating businessman Christopher Larocca.

Before the show’s newest episode aired, The Blast shared that Christina had fired another shot at Josh on social media. The drama began after the former couple coincidentally ended up at the same restaurant simultaneously!
Josh raved about his time at Ocean 48 in Newport Beach on his Instagram Story, sharing a picture from his gathering with friends. The group was all smiles in the snap, captioned: “Little surf and turf with this crew.”
Although the former HGTV star did not mention Christina in his post, she chose to reveal what was an unpleasant coincidence in her book. She dropped a snap of herself clinking glasses with her daughter Taylor and her co-star Heather Rae El Moussa and captioned it:
“When you’re having a relaxing GNO with @theheatherraeelmoussa and Tay and [snake emoji] shows up @ your spot.”

Christina has never shied away from confronting Josh through social media and did so after “The Flip Off” premiere captured a heated exchange between them. In the clip, Josh told Christina he wished she would “shut up,” seemingly hinting at their tumultuous relationship.
However, he refuted the image the premiere painted him as, calling the scene “manufactured drama.” Christina responded to his claims by sharing a picture of herself in tears, alleging she had broken down after filming with her estranged husband.
In an earlier teaser, Christina addressed the end of her marriage with her ex-husband, Tarek, claiming they frequently fought and their relationship had been negative for a long time. Additionally, she alleged her children implored her to leave Josh, saying:
“They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?”
Will Christina Haack and Josh Hall ever see eye to eye?
