Divorce Drama: Christina Haack and Josh Hall's Legal War Continues
The War of Words Continues: Christina Haack's Ex-Husband Josh Hall Slams Her as Attention-Seeking After Official Divorce
Just two days after their divorce was made official, Christina Haack's ex-husband Josh Hall is still simmering with anger and has chosen to express his sentiments in the most savage way possible. In a scathing Instagram post, Josh blasted his 42-year-old ex-wife as attention-seeking, reveling in the fact that he's now officially a "free man."
The photo accompanying Josh's post shows him looking every bit the rugged outdoorsman, tending to a horse on a sprawling ranch-like setting. It's clear that this is not just any ordinary day for Josh - it's his first Labor Day weekend as a single man in over two years.
"Excited to spend Labor Day weekend in the real reality… Finally, legally divorced and a free man," he captioned the post, making sure to emphasize the magnitude of their split. "I've always worked hard, kept what's mine, and declined hand outs, and I'm keeping it that way. Lesson learned: don't marry someone who needs constant public validation and will use your personal drama for attention."
While Josh didn't explicitly mention Christina's name in his post, the vitriol is unmistakable. It's clear that he still has plenty of resentment towards her, which may come as no surprise given their tumultuous marriage.
The Dirty Details: How Their Divorce Played Out
But before we dive into the juicy details of Josh and Christina's split, let's take a look at what led to this point. After a year-long divorce proceeding, the final judgment was filed in Orange County, California on August 26th by none other than Christina herself.
According to court documents obtained by The Scholarly Note, the couple did not sign a prenup before their marriage in October 2021, leaving everything up for grabs in terms of assets and liabilities. And grab they did - with each party being awarded their separate properties, vehicles, and bank accounts.
The most interesting part of this story? Christina was forced to cough up an equalization payment of $300,000 on May 6th, which was part of the equal division of their community estate in Nashville. Josh also got off scot-free when it came to spousal support, while Christina paid a whopping $40,000 for his attorneys' fees as well as mediation attorneys' fees from May.
But that's not all - according to court documents, Christina was also required to pay an additional $100,000 in September 2024, which Josh doesn't have to repay. The total? A staggering $440,000.
The Bitter End: How Their Divorce Became a War of Words
The divorce proceedings themselves were nothing short of dramatic, with both parties making public jabs at each other throughout the process. Christina had previously claimed that Josh requested "$65,000 per month in spousal support," which he denied.
And then there was the bombshell revelation that Josh allegedly transferred $35,000 from her separate property rental income into his personal bank account. He vehemently denied this claim.
But what's perhaps most fascinating is how their divorce became a public spectacle, with both parties using social media to air their grievances and control the narrative. Christina even went so far as to tease details of their "12-hour mediation" on Jeff Lewis' podcast, revealing that she had to pay "some" spousal support.
However, court documents show that Josh waived his rights to spousal support, instead opting for a division of joint assets.
Love Lives: How Josh and Christina Are Moving On
Now that their divorce is official, both parties are seemingly moving on with their lives. Josh has been spotted dating Nashville-based model Stephanie Gabrys, while Christina has found love with businessman Christopher Larocca.
But don't be fooled - their respective love lives have been shrouded in drama, with Andrea Deanna, Larocca's ex, claiming that he began dating Christina when she was still married to Josh. Larocca denied this claim, but the timeline of their relationship remains murky at best.
Meanwhile, Christina has been enjoying a romantic vacation with Christopher over the summer and even celebrated her 42nd birthday in style with him in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The End of an Era: How Christina's HGTV Show Came to an End
In a shocking twist, Christina's hit HGTV show "Christina on the Coast" has been canceled after its latest season. While there's no clear reason why the show was axed, it's possible that the drama surrounding her divorce and love life may have played a role in the decision.
Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: Josh Hall is out of the picture for good, and Christina Haack is ready to start fresh with Christopher Larocca by her side.
