Christina Hall announces start of 'lasting relationship' as she jokes 'sorry for leaving you'

Christina Hall is excited for what the new year will bring after a tumultuous few months navigating her divorce from Josh Hall. 

The HGTV star took to Instagram looking radiant as she joked about a new "lasting relationship."

Wearing a bright red top, and with her hair worn loose around her shoulders, Christina zoomed off in her car, announcing her return to her favorite workout class. 

"Dear Pilates," she wrote. "Sorry for leaving you on read for 3 months. Let's hope today is the start of a lasting relationship."

The post appeared on her stories and came after the fun-filled holidays with her three children, Hudson, Brayden, and Taylor.

She recently revealed that it was her kids who nudged her to eventually split from Josh because they'd noticed that he was "not nice" to her. 

In a sneak peek of her show, The Flip Off, her first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa — who stars on the show too — asked her if she was ok, to which she announced:  "No... Josh and I officially split up." She then shared that they had an argument that saw him throwing "middle fingers in my face."

She continued: "The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?"

Christina shares her two oldest children, Brayden, eight, and Taylor, 14, with Tarek. Hudson, four, is from her second marriage to Ant Anstead. 

Christina and Josh don't have any children together, but their divorce is still bitter.

Josh was set to star alongside Christina, Tarek and Tarek's wife Heather for the series which follows the two couples as they compete to "find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain." 

Production pivoted halfway through filming due to the divorce.

Christian filed for divorce in July 2024, and hired A-List divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who previously represented stars such as Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, Kevin Costner and Maria Shriver. She is also going by her maiden name, Haack, instead of by her married surname, Hall.

She previously told Entertainment Tonight of their divorce: "When someone is insecure about you and doesn't like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything."

"I feel like I was not shining as bright to try to not make him feel emasculated but who wants to live like that," she added.
