Joshua Hall is embarking on a new chapter in his life following his divorce from Christina Hall.
According to a source familiar with the situation, “Josh is relieved that the marriage has come to an end, but he’s excited to move forward.” The source reveals that Joshua, 43, voluntarily moved his belongings from the couple’s jointly owned property in Newport Beach, California.
The insider notes that, despite his HGTV fame, Joshua “never sought to be in the spotlight.” The source adds, “This was always for Christina, and he’s happy to go back to living life on his own terms.”
According to the source, Christina was aware that Joshua would be flying to California for divorce-related matters. The source explains that the Christina on the Coast star knew he would be coming to their home on Friday, August 2, which was one of the dates she had proposed for Joshua to visit the residence. All details were discussed and agreed upon in advance, the insider notes.
The update in their living arrangements comes shortly after Joshua broke his silence on their divorce. In the message, Joshua emphasized his desire to keep his life out of the public eye.
“I prefer privacy, especially during something as life-changing as a divorce I did not ask for,” Joshua wrote via Instagram on Friday. “I will not publicly badmouth anyone as people have families, friends, and others who respect and love them. Unfortunately, the internet is forever.”

Alongside the note, Joshua shared a selfie with his dog. “We are real humans, this is our life, and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters,” he wrote. “Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.”
Joshua and Christina, 41, both filed for divorce last month. Christina filed to dissolve their marriage first, listing their date of separation as July 7. Joshua’s court documents, however, have the split date marked as July 8.
A source exclusively told Us on Saturday, August 3, that Christina and Joshua “haven’t even started negotiations” regarding their divorce. Per Josh’s court docs, he wants to divide assets 50/50, which includes their Newport Beach home and rights to Christina’s HGTV series.
Christina, for her part, recently expressed her feelings about his legal demands. “I have worked my ass off to build this life for myself and my children, and anyone who would try and take what they do not deserve / what they did NOT work for should be ashamed,” she wrote via Instagram Story last month. “An insecure man with a large ego can sure try to derail you — but ‘still I rise.'”
Christina, who shares daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa as well as son Hudson, 4, with ex-husband Ant Anstead, claimed that “divorces do not happen overnight.” She added, “There is always a breaking point.”
A separate insider exclusively told Us on Saturday that Christina and her legal team offered Joshua a “seven-figure-plus settlement” which he allegedly declined. “His attorney said it was too low,” the source told Us.
