Isn’t it funny how sometimes it takes a little chaos to rediscover ourselves? Christina Hall, our favorite HGTV darling, is on quite the rollercoaster ride after filing for divorce from her estranged husband, Josh. It appears that the drama isn’t just limited to the courtroom—oh no! She’s categorizing him as a gold digger and tossing around allegations of theft like confetti. Talk about a messy breakup!
But hang on; things might be looking up for Christina. Just about a month after the emotional whirlwind, she took to Instagram with a newfound perspective, exclaiming that she finally has her appetite back and is even hitting the gym again! Yes, folks, the interior design queen may be sculpting not just gorgeous homes, but also the best version of herself. She gushes about her kids being happy and how their home feels like, well, home. 🍂
After an impassioned plea against the impending PR speech from Josh, suggesting she was the one who got blindsided, she’s now pivoting into healing mode. Christina’s embracing peace, focusing on her kids and work while working with a life coach, making promises to never give away her serenity again. If there’s one takeaway from all this, it’s that when life gives you lemons—or ex-husbands—craft a stellar lemonade stand!
And just like that, Christina’s tale reminds us: sometimes you’ve got to burn a few bridges to find the sweet path to self-discovery.
Christina Hall has something new to say in the wake of her very recent marital split.
The HGTV personality has had little back after filing to divorce estranged husband Josh, referring to him at one point as a gold digger and implying in her legal documents that he stole from her.
Now, however?
Hall is taking a broader life view.
“One month later … I finally have my appetite back [and] I’m exercising again,” the 41-year old wrote via Instagram Story on Friday, August 9, adding:
“My kids are happy and our house feels like home. ‘Those poor kids’ adore me [and] anyone who knows us for real knows this and that’s what matters.”
The Flip or Flop host shares daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa; and son Hudson, 4, with ex-husband Ant Anstead.
She eventually moved on with Josh, exchanging vows in 2022 before it all fell apart this summer.
In late July, Christina went on the offensive against her ex.
“Over here waiting for the typical Hired PR rep speech of ‘how I was blind-sided and how I’m working on myself and taking time to heal at her ranch,” Hall wrote, getting out in front of the alleged BS Josh will soon spew on social media.
Hall’s message also came amid a divorce proceeding in which she has alleged Josh diverted more than $35,000 of her money from rental property income into his personal Wells Fargo bank account.
This appears to have been the final straw for Hall.
Josh himself filed for divorce on July 15 citing “irreconcilable differences” and asking for spousal support from the Christina in the Country host.
Christina responded with a legal filing on July 24 that asked that neither of them be allowed to request support, and laid out the real estate at stake in the divorce, including their $12 million Newport Beach, California residence.
This is also at the point where the interior designer accused Josh of being a thief.
“I have worked my ass off to build this life for myself and my children and anyone who would try and take what they do not deserve / what they did NOT work for should be ashamed,” Christina previously said on social media, adding:
“An insecure man with a large ego can sure try to derail you — but ‘still I rise.’ This is personal.”
Amid the divorce, Christina has been finding peace and solace in her friends, “dream” work projects and her kids. She is also working with a life coach, as noted in her latest post.
“I made myself and [my life coach] a promise — I will never ever give away my peace again,” Christina wrote on Friday. “I will say: If you’ve ever lost peace and gained it back, there is a new level of gratitude for every single moment of life.”
She continued: “A huge level of appreciation for the present moments and being present. If that’s the lesson, I’ll take it.
“When you have a positive mindset, the rest will work itself out like it always does.”
