Christina Haack is sharing what she wishes she did differently in her relationship with Josh Hall — like not marrying him at all.
In the Feb. 26 episode of HGTV's The Flip Off, Christina, 41, shared another divorce update after her friend Cassie dropped by her Newport Beach, Calif. home. In the scene, Cassie questions why Christina’s garage is cluttered with quad bikes and ATVs that weren't there before.
Christina responds with a smile, “Tennessee, sweetie.”
The designer is referring to her Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. home where Josh was living after he filed for divorce from Christina in July 2024, a source previously told PEOPLE. Christina had listed the property for sale for $4.5 million in October that same year, however it is currently off the market, according to property records.

“It’s crazy. He wants to retire off me,” she claims of Josh while shaking her head. “Honestly, if I would’ve really understood the repercussions of all of this, I would’ve gotten a prenup or I would’ve never married him.”
In a confessional-style clip, she provides more context as to why the fleet of recreational vehicles that were at her Tennessee home are now crowded in her California garage.

Christina Haack on 'The Flip Off'“I had to deal with some real life stuff,” she explains. “I own a home in Tennessee and for the past couple years, Josh and I had spent a lot of time there.”
Pre-split, the farmhouse served as the setting for Christina’s solo spinoff, Christina in the Country. During the show's two seasons, viewers watched her expand her design business and navigate family life with Josh and her children: daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, whom she shares with her first husband Tarek El Moussa, as well as son Hudson, 5, whom she welcomed with her second husband Ant Anstead.
Referring to her Tennessee home, Christina continues in the confessional: “With everything going on and the fact that I’m not spending any time there anymore, I decided it was time to get all my stuff out of the house.”
