Despite ongoing tensions between HGTV star Christina Haack and her soon-to-be ex-husband Josh Hall, Haack and her family seem more than okay. In the latest episode of Christina on the Coast, Haack opens up about her divorce and how it has affected her kids. She also shares a new insight to her family life since her split from Hall and new reasons behind the split.
Haack sat down with longtime friend Cassie Zebisch to discuss her marriage to Hall and how it broke down. According to Haack, she and her children have been “so happy” since Hall moved out of their home in Newport Beach, California, as he has taken his “negative energy” with him.
Zebisch asked, “Do you feel like a weight’s been lifted off your shoulders?” Haack responded with, “Because Josh is gone? Yes! A 220-pound weight,” the mother of three said of her third husband. “Oh, yeah. The house is so much better, the kids are so happy. Like, everyone in this household is, like, thriving, and the kids truly are doing great. Everyone’s just doing better since he’s gone. It’s just all that negative energy.”
Christina Haack Also Shares What Went Wrong In Her Marriage
In July 2024, Haack and Hall filed for divorce over “irreconcilable differences,” which left her to compete in The Flip Off alone. Since then, they have engaged in a bitter and tense divorce war, which saw Haack accuse Hall of stealing and Haack sell their Tennessee home despite a temporary agreement that allowed Hall to use the home. However, their divorce is far from over, as Haack revealed that Hall did not agree to a mediation, which means that both will have to appear in front of a judge. There have been no further reports regarding their divorce battle being taken to court.
During the episode of Christina on the Coast, Haack shares what went wrong in her marriage to Hall with Zebisch. Haack explained that Hall struggled to find happiness despite her attempts to “give him the self-help tools” that may have helped him feel more satisfied, and also “keep him busy” with her house-flipping ventures. However, she said, “You can’t make someone else happy. They can only make themselves happy.” Zebisch reassured her that Haack could not have done something differently and applauded her for leaving a “toxic situation.”
During the episode, Hack shared that she did not want to get “divorced for the third time,” and Zebisch advised that she should take things slowly in her romantic life. Since the divorce filing, Haack and Hall have moved on romantically. Recently, Haack has been seen with her new boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, enjoying some downtime after The Flip Off finale. However, Haack declared that she was done with marriage, stating, “No no no. No more marriages.”
