Christina Haack is sharing devastating new details about her breakup from estranged husband Josh Hall.
In a first look at her and first husband Tarek El Moussa’s new real estate reality series The Flip Off, the HGTV star gets emotional while detailing the end of her third marriage
While meeting up to talk business, Tarek asks a distressed Christina, “You good?” to which she replies, “No. Josh and I officially split up.”
“We had a blow up,” the 41-year-old continues in the preview, released Dec. 12. “Middle fingers in my face. Things with Josh have been bad for a long time.”
The Christina on the Coast host then makes a devastating revelation involving her and Tarek’s children Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9.
“The kids literally asked me to leave,” Christina—also mom to 5-year-old Hudson with second husband Ant Anstead—tells Tarek, who she divorced in 2016 after seven years of marriage. “They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?”
Christina then breaks down in tears while reflecting on not just her ongoing divorce from Josh, but also her dramatic breakup from Ant, who she split from in 2020 after two years together.
Christina Hall Shares More Life Lessons Amid Ongoing Divorce from Estranged Husband Josh Hall
Is there a new man in Christina Haack’s life?
Four months after her estranged husband, Josh Hall, filed for divorce from the Flip or Flop alum, she fueled renewed speculation about her love life as she posted a photo alongside Michael Lange, a contractor on her HGTV series, Christina on the Coast.
In the pic, posted on Christina’s Instagram Story Dec. 4, the pair posed together at a garden centre as the TV star clutched her gardening gloves in her right hand, while Michael wrapped an arm around her waist. Christina captioned the post writing, “Putting in the work!”
Michael then reposted the image on his own Instagram Story with some flirty commentary, writing, “Shopping with the queen of HGTV.”
And it seems they aren’t just spending time together on set. Two days earlier, Christina also featured the contractor on her social media, thanking him for helping her decorate her home for the holiday season.
Pensioners in Abia State under the aegis of Concerned Abia Pensioners have accused the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, Abia State chapter of locking them out of a hall donated by a group to all pensioners in the state, to serve as their resting place.
The ill-treatment, according to the Concerned Abia Pensioners has resulted in them holding their meeting in the open, under the sun, to date.
The retirees who bemoaned their fate on Monday while speaking to the press, said the the NUP leadership accused them of working against the past PDP administration and supporting Governor Alex Otti.
The Secretary of the Concerned Pensioners, Stanley Ibekwe who read the address, narrated their ordeal in response to the October 2024 press briefing by the leadership of NUP.
Ibekwe who was flanked by Chairman, John Kalu, Coordinator, Emeka Okezie and other members, noted that the NUP executives did not carry the generality of pensioners in any agreement they had with the Abia State government.
“This action has kept us outside under the sun for our meetings up till now. This is verifiable” Ibekwe said.
They appealed to Governor Alex Otti to take a second look at the issue of arrears of gratuity of Abia retirees and rescind his decision as agreed by the leadership of the Abia State chapter of the NUP, even as they said that the arrears were inherited from previous administrations.
Ibekwe said his members were apologizing to Governor Alex Otti for any misrepresentations against his person and his government by the leadership of the NUP, stressing that gratuity is important in the life of every pubic servant.
DAILY POST recalls that the executives of Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP in Abia State, had in a press conference held in Umuahia in October, accused Governor Alex Otti’s administration of trying to coarse them into a Memorandum of Agreement to forfeit their gratuities and pensions arreers.
The South African Hall of Fame induction ceremony, held at Montecasino on Wednesday, 20 November 2024, was a momentous occasion for Kaizer Chiefs legends.
The event recognised the outstanding contributions and achievements of seven sports icons, including four Amakhosi legends.
The late Patrick ‘Ace’ Ntsoelengoe, Nelson ‘Teenage’ Dladla, Niel Tovey, and Lucas Radebe were inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining an elite group of South African sports heroes.
The other inductees included Dr. Jomo Sono, Banyana Banyana coach, Dr. Desiree Ellis, and former Bafana Bafana coach, Ephraim ‘Shakes’ Mashaba.
The evening was enhanced by the presence of the inductees’ families, friends, former teammates, and football administrators.
The late Ace Ntsoelengoe’s daughters, Ofentse and Boipelo, represented him, and Ofentse acknowledged the recognition on behalf of their father.
“His legacy extends beyond his impressive stats and accolades; he touched hearts, mentored minds, and shaped futures,” she said.
Ntsoelengoe had a decorated career at Kaizer Chiefs for almost two decades, becoming the Club’s all-time top goal scorer with 250 goals.
Teenage Dladla, who made the jersey number 11 famous, expressed his gratitude to Kaizer Chiefs Chairman, Dr. Kaizer Motaung, for bringing him to the Club. “If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have reached the heights I did,” Dladla said.
His remarkable career at Kaizer Chiefs spanned over a decade, with his hat-trick against Durban City in 1979 securing the Club’s third league title, and first in the multiracial era.Dladla’s time at Kaizer Chiefs was marked by incredible success, including 29 trophies won between 1980 and 1989.
He reflected on his first moments at the club, sharing that the players supported him despite the death of founding member, Ewert Nene, who was killed because he wanted to bring Dladla to Amakhosi.
“When I arrived, the players didn’t reject me because Ewert Nene died; instead, they told me that Bra E saw something in me and to go out there and show us what he saw.”
Banyana Banyana coach Dr Desiree Ellis is grateful for the way her career has panned out after she was inducted into the South African Hall of Fame.
The induction into the South African Hall of Fame is the latest accolade for the revered Women’s Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach – who led the Sasol-sponsored South African senior women’s national team to the continental title in 2022 in Morocco – after several others she has been awarded in 2024 alone.
Dr Ellis was inducted alongside several figures from South African football on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 and she said being among the distinguished football legends was very special.
The inductees included legends such as former Bafana Bafana coach Ephraim “Shakes” Mashaba, erstwhile South African senior men’s national team captains Neil Tovey and Lucas Radebe, and the legendary Patrick “Ace”Ntsoelengoe, Jomo Sono and Nelson “Teenage” Dladla.
“To listen to their stories was absolutely amazing and incredible, and many people in the room could relate to that. I just need to thank a lot of people who were part of my journey because without their contribution, I wouldn’t be standing where I am. A special mention, of course, must go to the Banyana Banyana players, the staff, the South African Football Association (SAFA) and Sasol. I don’t work in isolation,” she said.
“I think it’s through their fantastic efforts that I’m able to stand up there. And also, a big thank you to everyone out there that works in women’s sport and women’s football because we all know the challenges we face.
“But through all of that, we’re still able to perform on the international arena. Again, a big thank you to SAFA and Sasol for their unwavering support, and of course, the new player in women’s football.”

Emmy-award winning journalist and TV host Tamron Hall is a seasoned traveler, and so is her 5-year-old son, Moses. But, early on she noticed that Moses was very confident and outgoing at home, but outside he “didn’t show up as his confident self,” Tamron noted. That’s when she decided to use their story to help other shy kids out there and wrote the children’s book “Harlem Honey” (dropping March 2025).
“This book is a reminder to me, and I want it to be a reminder to all adults, to embrace children’s curiosity,” Tamron reports and she even dedicated the book to “the child who asks every question that comes to mind and to the patient adult who understands why.”
Because the host’s adorable children’s book is all about travel, which helped Moses “blossom into a more independent and confident child,” we asked Tamron all about her travel essentials, advice for shy kids, must-have gift picks (for kids, stocking stuffers, and white elephants), and holiday traditions. So keep on scrolling for Tamron Hall’s gift guide that’s sure to get everyone feeling festive.

As for Tarek, he spoke about how Christina had changed following her split from Josh.
“Her energy’s back,” he told Entertainment Tonight, sitting next to Heather. “She’s happy, she’s excited about life, like, she’s doing good.”
Christina, who also shares son Hudson London Anstead, 4, with ex-husband Ant Anstead—who recently filmed The Flip Off with her earlier this month—recalled confiding in Tarek about her marital problems with Josh.
“I’d been telling him that things were bad for at least a year,” she said. “Probably 18 months.”
Christina also shared the secret to the success of her and Tarek’s friendly relationship, six years after their divorce.
“At the end of the day, it’s the same thing that it’s always been,” she said. “The kids come first.”

Josh Hall Tries to Block Sale of Estranged Wife Christina Hall’s $4.5 Million Tennessee Home
Christina Haack has done a major flip-flop.
The 41-year-old was spotting filming her forthcoming reality show The Flip Off with ex-husband Ant Anstead four months after she filed for divorce from estranged husband Josh Hall, who was originally set to appear on the series alongside her.
In a photo of the Nov. 5 outing, Christina—clad in all-black outfit featuring skinny jeans, heels, a tee and blazer—stood next to Ant, 43, on the sidewalk while a filming crew surrounded them. And at another point during the shoot, the For the Love of Cars host—who finalized his divorce from Christina in 2021 following two years of marriage—stepped out of a black SUV rocking black jeans, black pants and a pair of white sneakers.
On set, Christina and Ant shared several “light-hearted” conversations, an eyewitness told E! News.
“Even when cameras weren’t rolling, they seemed very chummy,” the insider said. “It appeared they had really good rapport with one another.”
Absent from the day’s call sheet? Christina’s first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa—with whom she shares kids Taylor El Moussa, 13, and Brayden El Moussa, 8—and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, who are both costarring alongside the TV personality on the show, set to premiere in early 2025.

Heather McMahan can definitely find the humor in her unconventional living situation.
The comedian hilariously revealed what it’s really like having her mother Robin McMahan living under the same roof as her and husband of four years Jeff Daniels.
“Somebody said, ‘What’s the wildest place you’ve ever made love?'” McMahan exclusively told E! News’ Francesca Amiker. “I’m like, ‘Currently where I make love. In my own home because my mom’s down the hall!’ I’m like, ‘She’s here, I can feel her presence.'”
While it might be a little awkward for McMahan when she and Daniels are in the bedroom, her mom has no problem offering her 37-year-old daughter sex advice.
As McMahan shared, “She’s always like, ‘Jeffrey would be in a better mood if you if you did more forearm.’ Wink, wink.”
All jokes aside, the Love Hard actress revealed the sweet bond her mother has with Daniels.
“My husband can do no wrong,” she noted. “She worships the ground he walks on. It will always be my fault. It is so funny, the family dynamic.”
Tarek, 43, was married to Christina, 41, for nine years until their split in 2018. Together, the pair share children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9. Following their split, Tarek married the Selling Sunset alum in 2023. The pair went on to welcome their son Tristan, 20 months.
For her part, Christina married Ant Anstead in 2018, whom she shares son Hudson, 4. (The two divorced in 2021). The Christina on the Coast star is currently in the process of divorcing Josh Hall, whom she married in 2022.
However, Tarek and Heather are set to see a lot more of Christina, as the trio are set to star and compete alongside each other in the upcoming HGTV series The Flip Off.
Zendaya Recreates Iconic Cher Look at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Zendaya can turn back time.
The 28-year-old stunned at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 19, when she arrived dressed in a Cher-inspired look.
The barely-there gold cutout dress with lace-up detailing is from designer Bob Mackie’s Fall 2001 Foreign Entry collection. It immediately received comparisons to Cher’s iconic look from 1972 by the same designer.
Zendaya continue her homage to the “Believe” songstress by rocking long sleek black hair which cascaded down her back. Fittingly, the Dune actress was the one to induct the 78-year-old into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the ceremony.
“Thank you, Cher,” Zendaya said during her speech, according to video shared by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “Thank you for being an advocate, for being an ally, for paving the way for so many humans of all kinds to live in and speak their truth and to have the courage to be as daring and as open-hearted as you.”
“I am absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam,” Niall wrote in a lengthy Instagram statement. “It just doesn’t feel real. Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and secure.”
The “Slow Hands” singer continued to reminisce on his time singing alongside Liam in One Direction.
“All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to my mind through the sadness,” Niall added. “We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. The bond and friendship we had doesn’t happen often in a lifetime.”
Niall, who had Liam and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy as guests at his recent concert in Buenos Aires, also detailed what it was like seeing his friend for the final time.
“I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently,” Niall wrote. “I sadly didn’t know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that evening, I would be saying goodbye forever. It’s heartbreaking. My love and condolences go out to Geoff, Karen, Ruth, Nicola and of course his son Bear. Thank you for everything, Payno. Love you brother.”
