After two years of marriage, Christina and Josh Hall have decided to part ways. According to an exclusive source, the couple realized their relationship wasn't improving, leading them to the tough decision to split. This news might come as a surprise to fans who've watched their relationship blossom over the years.
Our insider shares, "It wasn't anything dramatic, like infidelity. They simply weren't on the same page anymore. This has been brewing for quite some time." It seems that the issues were more about the everyday challenges of staying aligned in a relationship rather than a single explosive event.
Drifting Apart: The Realization Sets In
As time went on, Christina and Josh began to grow further apart. "They just started drifting, and the farther they drifted, the more they realized that the spark was gone," the source explains. "Eventually, they both came to the conclusion that nothing was going to change. That's when they decided to call it quits."

Josh, 43, made the first move by filing for divorce on Monday, July 15, as confirmed by Closer. The official separation date was set a week earlier, on July 8. Christina, 41, followed up by filing for the dissolution of their marriage on Tuesday, July 16, in Orange County, California.
The Legal Battle Begins
In the legal filings, Josh requested spousal support and asked for Christina's right to alimony to be terminated. Christina, on the other hand, requested the termination of both parties' rights to spousal support. "Josh filed first and he wants spousal support, which Christina wasn't expecting. So, things could get a bit messy," the source warns.
A Shock to Fans
The news of their split came as a shock to their fans. Just months ago, in March, Josh shared a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating their relationship. He wrote, "Still going strong … 03/2024 [<] 03/2023 [<] 03/2022 [<] 03/2021," accompanied by photos of them enjoying vacations in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, a place they frequently visited together.
Christina introduced Josh, a former police officer, to the world in July 2021, just a month after her divorce from her second husband, Ant Anstead, was finalized. She revealed, "I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight. The synchronicities between us were so strong and fast that they were impossible to ignore."
Defending Her Choices
The Christina on the Coast star stood firm in defending her decision to jump into another relationship so soon after her previous marriage. "I may be a bit crazy and I’m definitely not perfect, but I will never live my life based on other people’s judgments or opinions. So yes, 'another relationship,' and guess what? I’m 38 — I’ll do what I want," Christina defiantly wrote.
The couple got engaged in September 2021, exactly a year after Christina's split from Ant, 45. They officially tied the knot in October 2021, with a formal ceremony held in Hawaii in April 2022, surrounded by close family and friends.

A Reflection on Their Marriage
Just days before her July 9 birthday, Christina opened up about her marriage to Josh in an interview with E! News. She emphasized the importance of communication and maintaining alone time together. "The secret to our strong marriage was being communicative. Keeping communication open is key, whether it's date night or going on little trips," Christina shared.
Despite Josh's claim in court that they separated the day before her birthday, Christina expressed contentment with her life at the time. "I love where I live. I love my family, I love doing these shows. So, I feel like everything’s going really well," she added.
