Christina Haack Addresses Bizarre Run-Ins With Ex Josh Hall Amid Tense Divorce Battle.
Christina Haack is once again in the spotlight following a string of unexpected encounters with her estranged husband, Josh Hall, amid their ongoing and highly publicized divorce. The HGTV star recently opened up about seeing Hall walking alone through her Newport Beach neighborhood—despite his residence being in Tennessee.
During a candid appearance on Jeff Lewis Live, Haack, 41, said she's seen Hall, 44, more than once during her daily walks. “He’s by himself. Walking. In my neighborhood,” she told the host. The comment raised eyebrows, especially considering the physical distance between them. “Who flies all the way from Tennessee just to walk around my neighborhood and flies home?” she asked with a laugh, adding, “Maybe it’s just intimidation.”
Hall's camp, however, dismissed the idea that these were targeted encounters. His spokesperson claimed the real estate agent “still has ties to Newport Beach” and enjoys jogging familiar paths when visiting friends in the area. "He's just staying fit," the rep clarified.
A Toxic Relationship Comes to an End
The couple filed for divorce in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage. Haack has been open about how the relationship impacted her life, calling it a “toxic” situation that affected her children and home environment. “Everyone’s just doing better since he’s gone,” she shared on her HGTV series Christina on the Coast. “Just all that negative energy.”
She explained that she did everything in her power to save the marriage, even trying to involve Hall in her home-flipping career to keep him engaged. “No matter what, you can’t make someone else happy,” she said. “They can only make themselves happy.”

New Relationships on Both Sides
Since the split, Haack has started dating businessman Christopher Larocca. The new couple has made a few public appearances, including a notable double date with Haack’s ex Tarek and his wife Heather Rae. Larocca even made a cameo on the finale of The Flip Off, Haack's show alongside her ex-husband.
Meanwhile, Hall has also moved on and is now dating model Stephanie Gabrys. Hall was originally slated to appear in the same series but was reportedly cut following their messy breakup.

Legal Battle Still Ongoing
The divorce proceedings between Haack and Hall remain active, with mediation set to begin in April after both parties failed to reach a settlement. Haack has already been ordered to pay $150,000 related to the sale of a property in Nashville.
Despite the tension, Haack maintains her focus on her children—Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, from her first marriage, and Hudson, 5, from her second. She emphasized that their home life has improved significantly since the separation.
Christina Haack Expands Her Design Empire
While Christina Haack’s personal life continues to draw public interest, she’s also making strategic moves in her professional journey. In early 2025, Haack launched Haven by Christina, a new home decor line that embraces her signature California-coastal design. The collection includes neutral linens, ocean-inspired wall art, and practical pieces tailored for busy family living.
The brand reflects her personal aesthetic and desire to bring harmony into chaotic spaces—something she’s had to master in her own life. The line is available online and through select retail partners, further cementing Haack’s role as a design entrepreneur beyond the small screen.
