Christina Haack’s estranged husband Josh Hall reflected on his tough 2024, which saw him getting a divorce from the HGTV star after two years of marriage.
Josh Hall is looking forward to rebuilding in 2025.
Christina Haack’s estranged husband rang in the new year by reflecting on the “tough” year he faced in 2024, during which he and the Christina on the Coast star filed for divorce after two years of marriage.
“2024 was a tough year but it’s taught me a lot. It helped me grow and be stronger than I’ve ever been. Sometimes the tough situations can change you,” Josh, alongside a photo of himself in a pool staring off into the distance wrote on Instagram Jan. 2. “You end up becoming a different person. A better version of yourself. You learn things about yourself you didn’t know before. It has opened my eyes to many things.”
But he also sees all he learned from the ups and downs.
“Even though it was tough, I know that it taught me many lessons and for that I’m grateful.” the 44 year old noted. “I always tell myself that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.”
“But it wasn’t all bad, in these tough situations, I realized who is really there for you,” Josh continued. “These people become your pillars in life. They stand by you. They understand when you need space. They’ve got you even if it at this moment in time, you don’t have them.”
And more than ever, Josh is cherishing his inner circle—and expressing hope for what’s ahead.
He added, “I will forever be grateful for my community who continue to love me, support me and those special ones who came into my life. Here’s to 2025, a new year, a fresh start, and a chance to write a new book with some new beginnings. This WILL be my best year yet…”
In the months since Josh and Christina—who is mom to Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, and son Hudson, 5, with ex-husband Ant Anstead—each filed for divorce back in July, the realtor has largely kept quiet on the issue. However, in August, while expressing his hope for privacy, he noted he was going through a divorce he “did not ask for.”
And while the divorce means Christina will face off against Tarek and his current wife Heather El Moussa solo in their new competition show The Flip Off, the new series has given peeks into her and Josh’s crumbling marriage.
This includes a tense argument in a car during which, referencing them competing against her ex, Josh tells Christina, “Remember, you’re a Hall now. Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is.”
As their argument escalates, he later adds, “I’m just like, ‘I wish you’d shut up already.’ My wife’s pissing me off already.”
