Haack is currently going through her third divorce after separating from estranged husband Josh Hall in July after two years of marriage.
While the filing took their fans by surprise, a quick look at Haack’s dating history shows she’s not afraid to love hard and dive right into relationships, no matter the cost. Fans have been keeping a close eye on the real estate star since the split, even speculating that she already had a new boyfriend — which turned out to be false.
Is Christina Haack Married?
Christina Haack is legally married to Josh Hall but they have been separated since July. On July 16, Haack and Hall, both filed for divorce in separate filings after only two years of marriage.
Hall and Haack, who was going by her married name up until the filing in which she requested to be reverted back to her maiden name, both cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
“Christina was trying, but things happened, and it just wasn’t working,” an insider told Us Weekly of the Flip or Flop star’s divorce from Hall. “Christina was done when she filed the papers. It’s hard, but she’s doing great.”

Over the years, in addition to becoming a major HGTV star, Haack married and divorced three times: to Tarek El Moussa, Ant Anstead and, most recently, Joshua Hall.

Haack and Tarek El Moussa, her longtime co-host in Flip or Flop, first met in 2005 when they worked as real estate agents in California. Their relationship moved quickly. “The day Tarek and I officially started dating, which was October 9, 2006, we moved in together,” she detailed to Good Housekeeping in 2017.
In 2009, the pair tied the knot and, in 2013, their hit renovation show on HGTV began. Their daughter, Taylor, was born in 2010, followed by their son, Brayden, in 2015.
Seven years into their marriage, Haack and El Moussa announced their separation six months after police were called to their home due to reports of an explosive fight between them.
“Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage,” the former couple said in a statement to Us Weekly on December 12, 2016. “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. We chose to get counseling to sort out our relationship.”
“Together, we have decided to separate while we reevaluate the future of our marriage,” the statement continued. “During this process, we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be. We will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together.”
A month later, Tarek filed for divorce in Jan. 2017. According to multiple reports, El Moussa allegedly caught Haack texting their contractor, Gary Anderson, per InTouch Weekly.

After splitting from El Moussa, reports confirmed Haack had moved on with her contractor, Gary Anderson.
“Christina grew close to Gary,” an insider told In Touch. “Tarek was suspicious that she was getting involved with someone but had no concrete evidence.” Months later, he saw all the proof he needed. “Tarek saw Christina’s phone and [believed] there was some inappropriate texting going on between Christina and Gary.”
Of course, their relationship hit a nerve with the HGTV star. “It’s hard for Tarek to see Christina dating, but it’s even worse that Gary is the guy she’s with,” a source explained. “There’s nothing that could be more upsetting to Tarek than to see her with a guy who is like him but better — and that’s Gary. He’s in the same industry as Tarek, but he’s older and more established and has more money.”
A few months later, however, the outlet was already reporting on their split. According to a source, Anderson and Haack had incompatible lifestyles. “He doesn’t even like being around [young kids],” a friend of Anderson told the outlet.

Later in 2017, Haack dated businessman Doug Spedding. In September, Haack gushed about their relationship.
“Doug and I are doing great,” she told E! News in Sept. 2017, per People. “He actually has six kids. He has two twins that are girls — they’re 10. Taylor loves them. They got along really well.”
“We’re both kind of low-key, and we like to barbecue, swim at my house, go out on the boat, watch hockey games,” she added.
In October, however, People confirmed that Haack and Spedding had gone their separate ways after Spedding entered an in-patient rehabilitation center for addiction issues. “Christina supports Doug’s decision to seek treatment and remains in contact to support his recovery,” a source said at the time.

Also in 2017, Haack met Wheeler Dealer‘s co-host Ant Anstead. The pair kept their relationship under wraps at first but eventually went IG official in January 2018.
Two months later, she gushed about him on social media. “He has already grounded me in so many ways and I’m so grateful for him,” she wrote, per People. “[He’s] driven and talented, humble and kind, patient and a great listener, fun and hilarious, spiritual and to top it all off he’s hot AF,” she continued.
On Dec. 22, 2018, Anstead and Haack got married in an intimate surprise wedding. “We pulled off the perfect surprise wedding,” she told People in Jan. 2019 of the winter-wonderland-theme affair. “Seeing the happy tears of friends and family was priceless.”
In 2019, they welcomed their first child together, a son named Hudson.On Sept. 18, 2020, less than two years after their wedding, she announced their separation in a since-deleted Instagram post. “Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” she wrote. “We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.”
Their divorce was finalized in June 2021.

In July 2021, Haack moved on from her relationship with Anstead and started dating realtor and former police officer Joshua Hall.
“I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight,” she wrote on Instagram after their relationship went public, per People. “When we met this past spring, the synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore. I felt immediately crazy protective over him and wanted to keep him for myself and get to know each other before the tornado (media attention) hit.”
“We decided what’s in the past, is in the past. We aren’t looking at all the nonsense online,” she added. “So yes ‘another relationship’ and guess what? I’m 38 – I’ll do what I want.”
In September 2021, Haack and Hall announced their engagement. A little over six months later, in April 2022, they tied the knot.
Fast-forward to July 16, 2024, Hall filed for divorce from Haack citing “irreconcilable differences.”
According to Us Weekly, Haack and Hall split due to their different lifestyles. “Christina works very hard and is successful,” the source said. “She felt like Josh was not contributing enough to the household.”
