Is Christina Haack Engaged Once Again?
Could it be third time's the charm for Christina Haack? The "Flip or Flop" star hasn't exactly had the easiest time when it comes to love following her dramatic split with her husband and partner both on and off-screen, Tarek El Moussa, back in 2016.
The two issued a statement to People confirming they were separating, referencing a dramatic altercation a few months earlier that saw the police called to their home. "Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage. We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence and no charges were filed," the parents of two said. They've certainly had their ups and downs since though, including that reported incident on the "Flip or Flop" set in July.
After a couple of short-lived romances in between, Haack went on to get serious pretty quickly with her second husband, Ant Anstead. In December 2018, the two married in a surprise ceremony just over a year after they started dating and welcomed son Hudson into the world in September 2019. But that one wasn't meant to be either, and Christina and Ant split in September 2020. "Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority," Christina wrote in a deleted Instagram post (via People).
But is she about to head down the aisle again?
Christina Haack wore what looked like an engagement ring while out with Joshua Hall
Christina Haack had tongues wagging in September after Page Six published candid photos of her and her boyfriend, Joshua Hall, spending some time together in San Diego where she rocked a huge diamond ring on that special finger. The two stood on a balcony in the sun, where both wore white tops, shorts, and baseball caps.
This is the second time Christina has had fans speculating Joshua may have popped the question, as TMZ reported in August that the reality star posted, and then quickly deleted, a ring snap on Instagram. It showed her holding a glass of something on a yacht next to Joshua, who was flanked by his girlfriend (or fiancée?) and his mom. After fans began gossiping, she took that photo down and replaced it with one where she'd taken the ring off.
Christina doesn't appear to have spoken about another possible engagement publicly, and her rep denied Page Six's request for comment after the latest candid snaps emerged, though she hasn't exactly done much to shut down the rumor mill. On September 4, she shared a snap on Instagram of Joshua holding her on his waist as she planted a kiss on his cheek. He flashed a big smile as Christina captioned it, "Where it all began," with a lock, key, and heart. Her hands weren't visible in the snap, so it's not clear if she was rocking a sparkler.
Who is Christina Haack's boyfriend, Joshua Hall?
Christina Haack hasn't been fairly open about her romance with Joshua Hall, as she confirmed their romance in a very public way on Instagram in July with a very lengthy caption. She admitted they met while she was experiencing a difficult time in her life, confirming they'd been dating for a "few solid months" before that and she'd "loved every second of it."
She also appeared to hint she may keep her romance with him a little more secret than her past ones (she and Tarek El Moussa put much of their life on show on "Flip or Flop" while Ant Anstead featured on her spinoff, "Christina on the Coast"), as she also noted in the caption, "So called 'fame' provides so many things but it comes with a cost. They build you up then tear you down... I didn't ever want to see him stress over the media stalking him and his family."
Christina added that she was also worried about the media turning her relationship "into a circus," which may be why, if she really is engaged to Joshua, she may want to keep it a little more on the down low than her past engagements.
It seems like we're going to have to wait and see on this one! But there's no doubting Christina seems happier than ever, which is exactly how we like to see her.
