Christina Hall, known for her popular HGTV shows "Flip or Flop" and "Christina on the Coast," has opened up about her recent divorce from Joshua Hall. Her heartfelt message reflects her resilience and determination to move forward.
Christina's Candid Statement
On July 25, Christina shared her thoughts and emotions on Instagram Stories regarding the divorce. “Over here waiting for the typical hired PR speech of ‘how I was blindsided and how I’m working on myself and taking time to heal at her ranch’… Meanwhile, I’m over here not as nice and quiet as I used to be,” she wrote. Christina's words were direct, revealing her frustration and her determination to speak her truth.
She added, “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. An insecure man with a large ego can sure try to derail you — but ‘still I rise.’” Her message highlighted her dedication to her family and career and her resolve to stay strong.
Details of the Divorce Filing
The public learned of Christina and Joshua's split on July 16 when Us Weekly confirmed they had filed for divorce after three years of marriage. Christina listed their separation date as July 7, while Joshua listed it as July 8, indicating some discrepancies.
Joshua's filing requested an equal division of their Newport Beach home and the rights to Christina’s HGTV shows, suggesting a struggle over significant assets and professional interests.
An insider told Us Weekly, “Christina was trying, but things happened, and it just wasn’t working. Christina was done when she filed the papers. It’s hard, but she’s doing great.” These insights provide a glimpse into the couple's issues before their decision to part ways.
The Journey of Christina and Joshua
Christina and Joshua’s relationship began in 2021 after Christina’s split from Ant Anstead. They got engaged during a trip to Mexico later that year and secretly married in April 2022. They held a second ceremony in Hawaii six months later, with Christina’s children present.
Christina, 41, has three children from her previous marriages: daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, and son Hudson, 4, with Ant Anstead. Joshua, 43, had also been married before, adding complexity to their blended family dynamics.
The couple collaborated on "Christina in the Country," an HGTV series showcasing Christina’s home renovation business expansion in Tennessee. The show aired for one season, highlighting their professional synergy. Christina’s other show, "Christina on the Coast," has enjoyed five successful seasons, solidifying her status in home renovation television.
Professional and Personal Challenges
Despite their professional collaborations, Christina and Joshua faced significant personal and working relationship challenges. Before their divorce was announced, Christina hinted that Joshua would appear in the new season of "Christina on the Coast," which premiered earlier this month. “You see him pop up here and there, but he doesn’t take on a big role,” she said. She also discussed the difficulties of working with a spouse on TV. “Bickering on camera is not necessarily full reality,” she explained. “It’s like a character. There’s just so much conversation and dynamics and things that have to be talked about on and off-camera. It is challenging to work with your spouse, especially if they’re not used to being on TV.”

Christina Hall’s open and honest approach to her divorce has resonated with many fans. Her message of resilience, encapsulated in “still I rise,” serves as an inspiration to others facing their own challenges. Despite the hurdles, Christina remains committed to her children, her career, and her journey of self-discovery.
