Christina Haack had a feeling it would end this way.
The HGTV star opened up about her striking divorce from Josh Hall, telling People she “kind of knew it was going to happen” as filming for her new show “The Flip Off” began.
Her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa were also aware of the direction of Haack’s marriage.
“I’d been talking to both of them about it,” Haack, 41, told the magazine in an interview published Wednesday. “They were aware that there were issues and it’s something that we had to sidebar on in regards to how all of us were going to handle even filming with Josh because there was already some difficulty there. So they weren’t surprised. And they were also very, very supportive.”
In May, it was announced that Haack would star with Hall in the HGTV show “The Flip Off” in a “Flip or Flop” spinoff competition series against the El Moussas. But in July, Haack and Hall, 44, both filed divorce documents in California, citing irreconcilable differences, according to filings obtained by USA TODAY. They had been married since October 2021.

“The Flip Off” premiered on HGTV Wednesday, sans Hall. Continuing to do the show without Hall kept her preoccupied, she said.
“I think it relieved that stress. The show was stressful in itself for different reasons not even having to do with our dynamic,” she told People. “Just flipping a house that fast and I haven’t flipped in a long time. So I think it was a good distraction.”
Christina Haack‘did not enjoy’ filming with ex Josh Hall: ‘It was not fun’
The television star told Entertainment Tonight late last year that she did not have a good experience working with Hall on the new show.
“When someone is insecure by you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,” she told the outlet in November. “I feel like I was not shining as bright to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that?”
She added, “It was not fun, to be honest. I did not enjoy filming with him.”
