Christina on the Coast: Cancellations, Marriages & Updates

Christina Haack spent years inviting viewers into her Southern California homes — and into the messy reality of her personal life. Now that invitation has expired. HGTV quietly canceled Christina on the Coast in July 2025, closing the chapter on a show that ran for five seasons and chronicled Haack navigating divorce, remarriage, and a third marriage that also ended in divorce. The timing raises questions about what comes next for the home renovation star who built her TV identity on duality: flipping houses on screen while her own life seemed to flip in ways she hadn’t planned.

Show Run: 2019–2025 · Host Marriages: 3 · Previous Show: Flip or Flop (2013–2022) · Location Focus: Southern California · Network: HGTV

Key details about the show and its host are summarized in the table below.

Has Christina on the Coast Split From Her Husband?

Yes. Christina Haack and Josh Hall filed for divorce in July 2024, and that filing directly reshaped what viewers saw on Christina on the Coast. Josh appeared only in the first episode of the final season before the separation became official.

Current relationship status

The couple had privately married in October 2021, announced their relationship publicly in April 2022, and held a ceremony in Hawaii in September 2022.

The split marked Christina’s third divorce, following marriages to Tarek El Moussa (2009–2018) and Ant Anstead (2018–2021). She reverted to her maiden name in October 2024 after the divorce from Josh Hall was finalized, dropping the “El Moussa” surname she had used professionally during and after her first marriage.

Christina confirmed her relationship with Chris Larocca in February 2025, appearing publicly together amid the ongoing divorce proceedings from Josh Hall. The timeline moved quickly — she filed for divorce from Josh in July 2024, confirmed Chris Larocca by February 2025, and was navigating new personal terrain as her television career faced its own upheaval just months later.

Recent husband updates

The divorce from Josh Hall played out against the backdrop of her HGTV obligations. With filming schedules often running months ahead of air dates, the separation likely created scheduling and narrative challenges for a show built partly around Christina’s domestic life alongside her husband. Josh’s absence from most of the final season may reflect both personal choice and network strategy to avoid promoting a marriage that was already dissolving.

Why Did Christina Haack And Tarek El Moussa Get Divorced?

Christina and Tarek El Moussa separated in 2016 after a publicized incident that thrust their relationship troubles into the tabloid spotlight. The couple, who met in 2005 while working as real estate agents in California, had weathered professional success together — launching Flip or Flop in 2013 — but their marriage deteriorated despite on-screen chemistry.

Christina began dating Ant Anstead in October 2017 before her divorce from Tarek was finalized, a timeline that fueled later infidelity rumors. She and Tarek officially divorced in 2018, with Christina later stating she found the speculation and gossip painful and unfounded.

Divorce timeline

The couple had been dating since 2006, moving in together the same day they started their relationship. They married in May 2009 and built Flip or Flop into one of HGTV’s reliable performers across nearly a decade. Their separation in 2016 came amid a crisis involving a gun incident that brought law enforcement to their home, an event that generated significant media coverage at the time.

Infidelity rumors

Christina El Moussa — the surname she used professionally during that period — addressed rumors directly in media appearances, calling speculation about infidelity “hurtful” and denying specific allegations that had circulated online. The rumors persisted partly because her subsequent relationship with Ant Anstead began before the divorce paperwork was fully processed, a detail she acknowledged publicly while maintaining she had done nothing wrong.

How Many Marriages Has Christina on the Coast?

Three — to Tarek El Moussa (2009–2018), Ant Anstead (2018–2021), and Josh Hall (2021–2024). All three marriages played out alongside her television career, with varying degrees of screen time given to each relationship. None of the three marriages survived, making Christina’s personal trajectory a recurring subplot beneath her home renovation expertise.

In a candid moment, Christina acknowledged the pattern herself, admitting she felt embarrassed about having three failed marriages at her age. The statement reflected both self-awareness and frustration with a personal life that kept delivering material she hadn’t planned to share.

Marriage history

• First marriage: Tarek El Moussa, May 2009 to 2018 — launched career on Flip or Flop, had two children together (Taylor Reese, born 2010; Brayden James, born 2015)
• Second marriage: Ant Anstead, December 22, 2018 to 2021 — met while filming, had son Hudson London (September 2019)
• Third marriage: Josh Hall, October 2021 to 2024 — private ceremony followed public announcement and Hawaii celebration

Embarrassment admission

Christina addressed her marriage history directly in interviews, expressing disappointment in herself for repeating patterns she hadn’t intended to repeat. The admission came across as genuine rather than performative, suggesting she recognized the tension between her public role as a home design expert and her personal history of relationships that ended unsuccessfully.

Who Is Christina on the Coast’s Boyfriend Now?

Chris Larocca. Christina confirmed their relationship in February 2025, appearing publicly with him as her divorce from Josh Hall was still being finalized. The relationship moved into public view quickly, with Larocca joining her at events and appearing on her social media before the official announcement.

Whether the relationship will lead to a fourth marriage remains unclear. Christina has not publicly discussed marriage plans with Larocca, and given her history — three marriages in six years — she may be in no rush to make that particular commitment again.

Current partner

Chris Larocca is the latest person in Christina’s life to become a public figure by association. Details about him have emerged gradually, with Christina controlling the pace at which personal information became public. By February 2025, the relationship was confirmed enough that industry outlets reported it as established fact rather than speculation.

Marriage timeline

Christina has not set a public timeline for marrying Chris Larocca. Her previous marriages followed relatively quick progressions — dating to engagement to marriage typically unfolded within 12–18 months. Whether she will follow a similar pattern this time remains to be seen, and the uncertainty feels intentional rather than accidental.

Why HGTV Canceled Christina Hall’s Christina on the Coast

HGTV canceled Christina on the Coast in July 2025, and the network has not provided detailed public reasoning for the decision. The cancellation was described as quiet, without a formal announcement accompanying the news. What is clear is that Christina on the Coast was not alone — the same wave of cancellations affected several HGTV renovation shows, including The Flipping El Moussas, Battle on the Beach, Farmhouse Fixer, Married to Real Estate, Bargain Block, and Izzy Does It.

The Flipping El Moussas, which paired Tarek El Moussa with his second wife Heather Rae Young El Moussa, lasted only two seasons before cancellation. That Christina’s show and Tarek’s show both ended in the same purge suggests the decisions were driven by broader network strategy rather than individual performance issues.

Cancellation reasons

HGTV has not issued a public statement explaining specific reasons for canceling Christina on the Coast. Industry speculation centers on several factors: a broader contraction in the home renovation television genre, shifting viewer preferences, and the logistical challenges of featuring talent whose personal lives generate as much coverage as their professional work.

Viewership data for the show’s final seasons has not been publicly released, making it difficult to assess whether ratings played a role. The cancellation may also reflect network recalibration following talent departures and relationship changes that complicate ongoing show narratives.

Show future

Christina teased a new project with design partner Kylie Wing in December 2025, posting on social media that “we’ve been working on something special, and it’s almost time to let you in on it.” The announcement suggests she is not leaving the design industry, even if her HGTV chapter has closed. Whether this new venture will involve a network partnership or a direct-to-consumer model remains to be determined.

The fate of Christina in the Country — her spin-off focused on rural property renovation — remains officially unknown following the cancellation wave. The show’s status is listed as uncertain, with no renewal or cancellation announcements as of mid-2025.
