Christina Haack (formerly Hall) is showing some love to her ex-husband Ant Anstead on Instagram.

The Christina on the Coast star, 41, liked a series of photos that her second husband shared of their 5-year-old son Hudson after the father-son duo enjoyed a beach day together in Laguna Beach, Calif.

“Just Laguna Beach doing Laguna Beach things….. x,” the British automotive expert, 45, captioned the Oct. 17 Instagram post.

In the photos, Hudson is seen playing in the sand as the ocean glistens in the background. The post concludes with a photo of a beaming Hudson giving his dad a sweet hug.

The exes, who wed in December 2018, welcomed Hudson less than a year later in September 2019. Christina also shares two children with her first husband Tarek El Moussa: daughter Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9.

Christina and Anstead have not always been on the best of terms. After their divorce was finalized in June 2021, the two were involved in a heated custody battle over their son.

Christina only recently started following Anstead on Instagram again in July 2024 shortly after splitting from her third husband, Josh Hall.

The mom of three previously revealed that Hudson played a key role in her decision to try to be friendly with Anstead again while talking to Backgrid on July 31.

“Ant and I share Hudson... and I feel like he deserves to have us get along,” she said at the time.

Since then, the co-parents have been keeping it friendly on social media, with Christina even tagging Anstead in a clip of Hudson’s successful first soccer practice on Sept. 4.

When Hudson turned 5 on Sept. 6, Anstead shared a sweet birthday tribute for his son, which also referenced his girlfriend Renée Zellweger, and Christina commented on the post.

"Happy Birthday to our sweet boy!" she wrote in the comments.

Christina even poked fun at the possibility of Anstead replacing her ex Josh in her upcoming show The Flip Off after a fan suggested the idea. The series, set to premiere in early 2025, also stars her first husband Tarek and Tarek's current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.

“How awesome would it be to have Ant replace Josh on The Flip Off? Ratings would go through the roof. If it happens, I need some credit. Lol,” the comment read.

Christina replied, “LOL that would be a genius 'ratings' idea just sayin.”

However, she later shut the idea down for the time being by telling Backgrid: “It would be good for ratings, but I can’t work with any more exes."
