Josh Hall Breaks Silence on Christina Hall Divorce
Josh Hall Breaks His Silence Over Christina Hall Divorce
Josh Hall has signaled that it was not his choice to end his marriage to Christina Hall.
Two weeks after both filed for divorce, he broke his silence about his breakup from the HGTV star.
“I prefer privacy, especially during something as life changing as a divorce I did not ask for,” Josh, 43, wrote on Instagram Aug. 2. “I will not publicly badmouth anyone as people have families, friends and others who respect and love them. Unfortunately the internet is forever.”
He continued, “We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I donât know with my private matters. Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.”
Josh included in his post a selfie of himself and his dog Stella, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2022.
In an Instagram post shared that September, he had noted that she “has been my rock through a lot of life, moves and changes.” He added, “Stella had never been around kids much before, but she immediately fit in and is obsessed with everyone in this house.”

Josh shared his statement soon after posting a photo of a sculpture spelling out the word hope, to which Christina responded by reposting the image on her Instagram Story along with the message, “I ‘HOPE’ she pays me millions more than what sheâs already offered me.” She later deleted her post. He has not commented on her remark.

A source previously signaled that the breakup came as a surprise to Josh.
“All marriages have their ups and downs,â the insider told E! News July 26, “but Josh never expected his relationship with Christina to end like this.”
The medically retired cop and real estate investor had “devoted the past few years to Christina and her kids,” the source said, adding that “24/7, his social, professional, and romantic lives revolved around Christina.”
Before their split, the two filmed the HGTV series The Flip Off, which they were set to star opposite Tarek and his wife Heather El Moussa.
âNow that theyâve split, we hear heâs spending some time in Nashville, where heâs been hitting the gym and attending church regularly,” the insiders said about Josh. “Heâs focusing on finding the light at the end of the tunnel as he has to completely start over.”
