If you’ve been following the whirlwind that is Christina Hall’s life lately, you know it’s been a total rollercoaster. Honestly, keeping up with her feels like a full-time job. One minute she’s posting about a "fresh start" in Tennessee, and the next, the internet is blowing up with headlines about her third divorce.
The Christina Hall news cycle has been relentless since July 2024, when both she and Josh Hall filed for divorce after less than three years of marriage. It wasn’t just a quiet split, either. It was messy, public, and—in true HGTV fashion—it played out right in front of the cameras.
The Breaking Point: What Ended the Third Marriage?
The split from Josh Hall seemed to come out of nowhere for fans, but behind the scenes, things were apparently rotting for a while. Christina recently opened up about the "final blow" that ended everything. According to her, the tension peaked during a Fourth of July family trip in 2024.
Apparently, her kids—Taylor, Brayden, and Hudson—specifically asked that Josh not come on a beach trip. That’s a huge red flag. When the family got back to their Newport Beach home, a massive argument broke out. Christina has since described the environment as "uncomfortable" and even "harrowing."
During the heat of it, she actually called her first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa.
His advice? "Leave." She did. And shortly after, the legal papers started flying. Josh filed first, citing "irreconcilable differences," but the real drama was over the money. Josh originally asked for spousal support, which Christina didn't take well. She famously told friends and cameras that she felt like he was trying to "retire off her."
The Divorce Settlement: Who Walked Away with What?
By May 2025, the dust finally settled on the legal battle. If you’re looking for the specifics on the Christina Hall news regarding the settlement, it was a bit of a mixed bag. Despite the lack of a prenup—which Christina admitted was a massive mistake—she managed to keep the lion's share of her empire.
Here is how the assets were basically split up:
- Christina kept: The $12 million Newport Beach mansion, her Tennessee farmhouse (where Christina in the Country is filmed), and her design business. She also kept her bank accounts and a fleet of luxury SUVs and quads.
- Josh walked away with: A one-time payment of $300,000 from the sale of their Nashville property, a separate home and condo in Tennessee, and some land in California.
- The Cars: In a weirdly specific twist, Christina had to hand over a 2022 Bentley to Josh, while she kept two GMC Yukons. Josh also kept a 1970 Chevelle and a 1982 DeLorean.
Both parties ultimately waived the right to spousal support. Josh took to Instagram after the ink dried, calling himself a "free man" and throwing some major shade. He posted about not marrying people who need "constant public validation."
Christina, on the other hand, just posted a video of herself clinking wine glasses. She’s definitely moved on.
The Flip Off: Turning Drama into Ratings
You’d think a messy divorce would cancel a show, but this is reality TV. The highly anticipated series The Flip Off was originally supposed to be Christina and Josh vs. Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.
When the split happened, Josh was promptly edited out of most of the show. Christina decided to go it alone, competing as a solo flipper against her ex-husband and his new wife. It was a genius move for HGTV. The show premiered in January 2025 and became one of the highest-rated debuts the network has seen in years.
People tuned in specifically to see the "tension" and the heart-to-heart talks between Christina and Tarek. It’s kinda wild to see them as friends now, but they’ve become a united front. In fact, they even spent New Year’s 2026 together on a massive blended family vacation in Park City, Utah.
A New Romance with Christopher Larocca
If you thought she was going to stay single for long, you haven't been paying attention. By January 2025, Christina confirmed she was dating businessman Christopher Larocca.
The two have been spotted everywhere lately. They even did a double date with Tarek and Heather. It’s "the most blended" family situation you can imagine. Honestly, it seems like Chris is a much better fit for her high-speed lifestyle. She’s described him as "hardworking" and "sweet," and most importantly, he doesn't seem to have an interest in being a reality TV star—though rumors say he might make a cameo in The Flip Off Season 2.
What’s Next for Christina?
While HGTV did a bit of a "programming purge" recently, canceling Christina on the Coast, she isn't going anywhere. She’s been teasing a "big new project" with her business partner Kylie Wing.
There's a lot of speculation that she's moving away from traditional renovation shows and into something more lifestyle-oriented, or perhaps a standalone design app. Whatever it is, she’s clearly the "creative architect" of her own life now.
Actionable Takeaways from the Latest Christina Hall News:
- Watch the new season: The Flip Off Season 2 is currently in production and will likely air later in 2026. Keep an eye out for solo Christina taking on the El Moussas.
- Follow the Design Firm: If you miss her design work now that On the Coast is gone, her firm with Kylie Wing is where she’s posting most of her new projects.
- The "Prenup" Lesson: If you take anything away from her personal drama, it’s her own advice: "Get a prenup." She’s been very vocal about how much stress the lack of one caused during the Josh Hall negotiations.
- Blended Family Goals: Watch how she handles co-parenting with Tarek and Ant Anstead. Despite the tabloid drama, she seems to have mastered the art of keeping the peace for the sake of the kids.
She’s currently worth an estimated $25 million and shows no signs of slowing down. Whether you love the drama or the decor, Christina Hall is staying in the spotlight.
