Christina Hall’s estranged husband, Joshua Hall, has sparked intrigue with a cryptic message on social media as their highly publicized divorce continues to make headlines.
Josh, 43, shared an enigmatic post featuring the word “hope” alongside praying hands and blue heart emojis. This move comes two days after Christina, 41, followed her ex-husband Ant Anstead on the social media platform, as their divorce proceedings continue. (Christina and Anstead were married for less than two years, announcing their separation in 2020.)
The couple’s whirlwind romance, which began in 2022, shocked fans last month when they announced their split. Us Weekly confirmed that both parties filed for divorce. Notably, Christina is not seeking spousal support, but Josh is — an arrangement she objects to, as revealed in court documents obtained by Us.
“He’s trying to portray himself as the victim, implying he hasn’t done anything wrong — and she’s not going to let that narrative stick,” a source close to the situation revealed to Us on July 29. This came on the heels of Christina taking to social media to dispute a TMZ article claiming Josh was “blindsided” by their split.
She later addressed the situation, saying: “Hmm … something’s not adding up here. But I’m down to keep playing ‘Christina Vs. The Victim’ as I love this game.”
Ahead of their impending divorce, Christina and Josh starred together in HGTV’s Christina in the Country and Christina on the Coast. The pair were set to star alongside Christina’s ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, in an upcoming show titled The Flip Off. (Christina was married to Tarek for seven years before their 2016 split. The exes share daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8.)
A separate source has since confirmed to Us that the show is “moving forward” without Josh. Speaking to Us Weekly prior to the divorce bombshell, Christina, for her part, teased that there will be “bad blood” between herself, Tarek and Heather while filming.
“None of us are taking it as seriously to actually get mad about stuff. We just decided to have fun with it no matter what,” Christina told Us of the show in early July. “Because when you’re having fun filming that’s the most important thing, because that’s what the audience is gonna notice.”
