Here’s a story that’s got a lot of people talking: Christina Haack and her husband, Josh Hall, were in the middle of filming their new HGTV show, The Flip Off, just before both of them filed for divorce after nearly three years of marriage. It’s a dramatic turn of events that’s left fans scratching their heads. How do you go from flipping houses together to filing for divorce in such a short time? Let’s dive in and unpack the details.
Christina Opens Up About Sharing the Screen with Josh
Christina, the beloved HGTV personality, recently opened up about working alongside her husband, Josh, in the new series. She spoke to Us Weekly just days before the news of their split broke. Christina, who’s no stranger to the spotlight, shared her thoughts on the dynamic between her and Josh on camera. “I’m just so used to doing it and, like, I just have a very, kind of, go-with-the-flow dynamic on camera,” the 41-year-old explained. “I don’t take things too seriously, and I feel like this is something that I really talk to Josh about a lot—like who I am day-to-day is different than who I am on camera.”
When Did the Split Happen?
In his divorce filing, Josh listed their date of separation as July 8, while Christina listed it as July 7 in her filing, according to Us Weekly. The timing is interesting, to say the least. Were there signs of trouble brewing before the cameras started rolling? Christina herself hinted at the unique challenges of working with her spouse. “I’m used to being the boss of everything, especially when it comes to design,” she admitted. “So, it’s just like this is a whole new dynamic for us, and it’s gonna be interesting how it plays out.”

Josh’s Journey in Christina’s World
Josh is no stranger to the HGTV universe. He previously appeared in shows like Christina in the Country and Christina on the Coast. But this time around, he’s stepping into the spotlight alongside Christina, her first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and Tarek’s wife, Heather Rae Young. It’s a complicated mix of relationships, and it’s bound to make for some interesting television. Christina reflected on the experience of working with her husband. “Bickering on camera is not necessarily full reality,” she said. “It’s like a character. So, there’s just so much conversation and dynamics and things that have to be talked about on and off-camera. I mean, it is challenging to work with your spouse, especially if they’re not used to being on TV.”
What’s Next for ‘The Flip Off’?
At the time of the interview, Christina confirmed that she had only filmed scenes with her husband so far. “We actually haven’t filmed together with Tarek and Heather yet, so I can’t really say that I know what that looks like,” she explained. “Only Josh and I have filmed together so far.” The show was initially set to air in early 2025, but it’s unclear how the couple’s divorce will affect its future. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how this unfolds.
The Trailer Drops
A trailer for The Flip Off was released in May, with Christina declaring, “I never thought I’d be doing this.” Tarek chimed in, saying, “This is one of the defining moments of my life.” It’s clear that the show promises to be a major event in the HGTV world, but with the unexpected twist of Christina and Josh’s split, all eyes are on how the network will handle it.
Fans Are Shocked by the Split
The news of Christina and Josh’s split came as a surprise to many longtime fans. Just weeks before, Christina had spoken about how great everything was going in her life. “It’s been really good,” the real estate investor told E! News. “I just love where I live, I love my family, and I love doing these shows. So, I feel like everything’s going really well.”
Looking ahead, Christina shared her hopes for the future. “I just want peace,” she said. “I need things to be more peaceful and calm, and I just want to be more present. Overall, less chaos, less drama.” It’s clear that Christina is focused on finding balance in her life, even as she navigates the challenges of her personal and professional worlds.
