Josh Hall explodes at ex Christina Haack in Flip Off clip
Josh Hall and Christina Haack’s tumultuous relationship took center stage in a new sneak peek of HGTV’s upcoming show, The Flip Off.
In the clip, filmed prior to their July 2024 divorce filing, Hall expressed frustration with his then-wife during a car ride to a renovation project. He exclaimed, “Halls rule!” urging Christina Haack to join him, but she remained silent. He pressed her to acknowledge her married name, saying, “Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is,” while accusing her of being “rude.” (via People)
The interaction escalated as Haack explained she doesn’t “over talk.” Hall retorted, “You know how much s— you say? I wish you’d shut up already.” Haack sighed, visibly exasperated, while Hall vented, “My wife’s pissing me off already.”
This tense exchange foreshadowed their split. Christina Haack later told her ex-husband and show co-star Tarek El Moussa that her marriage to Josh Hall was over. She confided, “Things with Josh have been bad for a long time.” She also revealed her children urged her to leave, saying, “He’s not nice to me.”
Christina Haack and Josh Hall married in April 2022 and collaborated on several HGTV projects, including Christina in the Country. However, tensions over her close working relationship with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa reportedly strained their marriage. Christina Haack described Josh as “jealous” of her dynamic with El Moussa, characterizing it as sibling-like but “flirty” to outsiders.
While The Flip Off initially featured Josh Hall as Haack’s partner, his role diminished after their separation. Haack, alongside Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, continued production. The two-hour series premiere airs on January 29, promising an intense renovation competition among exes.
