What REALLY happened between Christina Hall and third husband Joshua ahead of shock divorce – months after he insisted they were ‘still going strong’

Fans of HGTV star Christina Hall were shocked to learn that she and her third husband Joshua Hall are divorcing after nearly three years of marriage.

The couple regularly showcases their romance on social media and recently signed a deal to star in HGTV’s The Flip Off with her ex Tarek El Moussa.

But their breakup may have been a long time coming.

The post is still up on Josh’s Instagram page and features photos of himself and Christina kissing and embracing, taken over the past four years.

TMZ reported that Christina and Joshua filed for divorce on Tuesday, July 16, after three years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

The outlet claimed that the Christina In The Country TV stars filed their papers on Tuesday in Orange County, California. The ex-lovebirds stated that July 8 was their first day of separation.

Joshua is asking Christina for alimony and doesn’t want to have to give her any money, the site said.

It was also alleged that Joshua had asked the court to “divide the property of both of them before they got married.”

The reality stars married in October 2021 and have no children.

This is the third divorce for Christina, who was previously married to Tarek El Moussa (2009-2018) and Ant Anstead (2018-2021).

Following the news, Christina deleted the couple’s wedding photo from her Instagram.

She shared the stunning photo in September 2022, after they tied the knot for a second time that month in front of family and friends on Maui.

But the couple’s split may have been a long time coming

A source told PEOPLE Tuesday that Josh and Christina had been having “problems in the marriage for quite some time” before Tuesday’s divorce filing.

This comes exactly four months after Josh declared on Instagram that he and his wife are “still going strong” after tying the knot in October 2021.

It showed Christina and Joshua, who legally married in October 2021, embracing and kissing at the altar as the sun set over the ocean behind them.

In the caption, she called Joshua her “dream man” and raved that their marriage was “amazing.”

“My dream man on the dreamiest island. Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night of love,” she wrote.

Now, the link to Christina’s IG post brings up a blank screen with an automated Instagram message that reads, “Sorry, this page is unavailable. The link you followed may be broken or the page may have been removed.”

Joshua still has his wedding announcement online that he shared on September 10, 2022, days after their ceremony on Maui.

Instead of photos of the bride and groom at the altar, Joshua shared a group photo of the couple with their massive wedding party by a resort pool.

He raved about marrying “the best friend I could ever ask for” and joked in a follow-up post: “I give [the marriage] six months.”‘

The shocking news of the split comes after Christina and Joshua signed on to star in the 2025 HGTV renewal show The Flip Off with her ex Tarek and his new wife Heather Rae El Moussa.

Christina and Tarek built a house-flipping empire on their 10-season show Flip Or Flop, but it ended after a highly publicized divorce.

This year they teamed up again on the new spin-off called The Flip Off starring Tarek’s wife Heather and Christina’s now estranged husband Joshua.

The show is expected to air on HGTV in early 2025, with a two-hour premiere.

“Throughout the series, Tarek and Christina, along with Heather and Josh, will compete to see who can find, purchase, renovate and resell a home for the biggest financial profit (and bragging rights),” HGTV said on its website.

Earlier this summer, things seemed to be going well for Christina and Joshua, as they were spotted in Instagram posts with her children.

In March, they were spotted holding each other and kissing on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

They were also photographed kissing in the ocean.

“A weekend getaway to Cabo with you is my favorite. ❤️ (love how it turned out and we swapped a few photos on the beach with a pro photographer @allysimonsphoto),” she wrote in her caption, adding that she stayed at the Montage in Santa Maria Bay, Los Cabos San Lucas.

Josh also posted: ‘Still going strong…03/2024⏪️03/2023⏪️03/2022⏪️03/2021. Credit: @ruthfernandez5.’

Christina responded to his post, “I still love you and Cabo ❤.”
