Ring Dropped in Pool: Christina Haack Reveals Turbulent Proposal Rejection
CHRISTINA HAACK SHEDS LIGHT ON ROCKY BEGINNINGS OF MARRIAGE TO JOSH HALL: SHE SAID NO TO HIS FIRST PROPOSAL AND HE THREW THE RING IN THE POOL!
In a bombshell revelation, Christina Haack, the star of HGTV's "Christina on the Coast," has opened up about the tumultuous romance that ultimately led to her divorce from Josh Hall. The 42-year-old real estate mogul revealed that she initially turned down his first proposal, citing that the timing wasn't right. But what happened next is a tale of drama and betrayal.
According to Haack, Hall decorated the pool terrace of their former home in Dana Point, California with all the trimmings for the big moment. However, when he popped the question, she said no - and it seems like that was just the beginning of the problems. "He threw the ring in the pool," Haack confessed, adding that this was probably her first red flag about their relationship.
But what's even more shocking is that Hall disputes Haack's account of events entirely. His representative told The Scholarly Note that Josh has no idea what Christina is talking about. It seems like the drama is far from over!
This revelation comes just weeks after they finalized their divorce in late August after a grueling year-long legal battle. And let's be real, folks - this was one messy marriage! Hall even took to Instagram on Labor Day to celebrate his newfound freedom, writing, "I've always worked hard, kept what's mine, and declined handouts, 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."
So, what exactly went down in this ill-fated romance? According to court documents obtained by The Scholarly Note, the couple's divorce was a messy one. They waived their right to spousal support, which is a bombshell revelation considering Haack claimed she had to pay some spousal support earlier on.
However, it seems like Hall got off scot-free - or did he? Haack paid him an equalization payment of $300,000 back in May as part of the equal division of their Nashville property. She also coughed up $40,000 for his attorneys' fees and mediation costs. And if that wasn't enough, she shelled out a whopping $100,000 to him last September - an unallocated sum that he doesn't have to pay back!
As for the assets, both parties were awarded their separate properties, with Hall keeping his Tennessee property and Haack getting her Newport Beach pad. They also each kept their respective businesses and bank accounts. It seems like this was a fair divorce by reality TV standards.
But don't just take our word for it - a source close to the situation told The Scholarly Note that this was one of the most amicable divorces in reality TV history. "Josh agreed to split everything they earned together, and they each walked away with what they had made prior to marriage," said the insider. "He voluntarily declined spousal support."
So, it seems like Hall is now a free man - and he couldn't be happier! But what about Haack? Sources close to her suggest that she's relieved to have this chapter behind her. And let's be real, folks - we're all just here for the tea!
Haack has been married three times before, with her most recent marriage being to Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021. They share custody of son Hudson, five. She was also married to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2018 - they have daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, nine.
The drama is far from over, folks! Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy reality TV scandal!
