Christina Hall Admits She Was Purposefully ‘Not Shining As Bright’ In HGTV Career To Try And Make Josh Happy: ‘Who Wants To Live Like That?

by

As a seasoned gamer of reality TV drama, I must say that the latest twist in HGTV’s The Flip Off is as intriguing as it gets! Christina Hall, the home renovation queen, has been through her fair share of marital upheavals, and now she’s flipping not just houses but also exes. It seems like Ant Anstead will be joining the cast in 2025, which I can’t wait to see!

In January, the HGTV series titled “The Flip Off” is set to debut. For Christina Hall, this isn’t just about flipping houses; it’s also a case of flipping ex-spouses on the show. Following her divorce from husband Josh Hall, Christina Hall has reportedly brought in her second ex-husband, Ant Anstead, for the show when it airs in 2025. Amidst this significant cast change, the star of “Christina on the Coast” — who also has a show scheduled for 2024 — has spoken openly about shrinking herself in her marriage with Hall, and as she put it: “Why live that way?

Christina and Josh Hall were initially slated to compete on The Flip Off, facing off against her former partner Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae, who bears a resemblance to Christina. However, following their breakup, it was decided to proceed with filming without Josh, which appears to have brought a sense of relief for Christina. She confessed that she found it difficult to be her authentic self when around her husband, expressing this sentiment in an interview with ET.

It’s quite disheartening when someone feels threatened by your success and prefers not to see you triumph. In such situations, it seems like I dim my own light to avoid making them feel inadequate. However, isn’t it better to live a life where we can shine brightly without worrying about someone else’s feelings?

The separation between Josh Hall and Christina Haack (who requested to restore her maiden name) has been marked by discord from its inception, with financial matters seemingly playing a significant role in the HGTV star’s decision to end things. Previously, she had mentioned her estranged husband’s alleged insecurities. To put it simply, the problems that were escalating between them created an incredibly uncomfortable work atmosphere. She went on to add:

To put it simply, it wasn’t enjoyable working with him. In fact, our separation has made things significantly easier and infinitely better in all aspects.

It seems that the unusual setup of “The Flip Off” may have been its downfall, as she suggested that Josh Hall found it difficult to accept the friendly bond she established with Tarek El Moussa following their separation in 2016, expressing her viewpoint by stating:

Filming the show would have been challenging with Josh, as he’s uncomfortable with the relationship between Tarek and myself. Our bond is often perceived as flirtatious, but in reality, it feels more like a close, sibling-like connection to me.

It’s likely that she won’t encounter similar problems when Ant Anstead appears on the upcoming HGTV show. Despite rumors following Christina Hall’s divorce filing suggesting that Renee Zellweger, Anstead’s partner of more than three years, was anxious about his ex, insiders dismissed these claims as utterly ridiculous.

Some enthusiasts anticipate that James Bender, a designer who’s collaborated with Christina Hall on numerous projects, might team up with her for the show The Flip Off. However, it appears that she’s content to showcase her talents as vividly as she desires without Josh Hall by her side.

Make sure to note down the upcoming premiere date in January, while you wait for it, don’t miss out on the second season of Tarek and Heather Rae’s show, “The Flipping El Moussas,” which kicks off on December 26.
