Christina Haack(formerly Hall) is finally addressing a question fans have been asking since her split from Tarek El Moussa.
After revealing to Tarek that she and her third husband,Josh Hall, 44, have officially ended things, Christina tearfully addresses why she doesn’t stay single for long after a split.
She shares that in the years followingtheir difficult 2016 split,she’s been doing “stupid things” as a way to numb the pain.
“I feel like I try to hide and act like I’m not affected but then I just do more stupid things to try to make myself feel better,” she says during a conversation that sees both exes tearing up. “I just keep doing it and getting into things too fast that I know aren’t right.”

In a confessional-style clip, she notes how divorce was never something she wanted to experience, and how it pushes her to seek out new relationships.
“I never wanted to get divorced. I’m the only person in my family to ever get a divorce. So I just felt like it’s safe to be back in a relationship, but ultimately, that was not safe either,” she says.
Less than a year after Christina and Tarek’s divorce was finalized in January 2018, she got married to her second husband,Ant Anstead, in December 2018. They split in September 2020 and finalized their divorce in June 2021.
Chrisitina shares two children — son Brayden, 9, and daughter Taylor, 14 — with Tarek, as well as son Hudson, 5, with Anstead.
Christina tied the knot with her third and most recent husband, Josh in October 2021. Josh filed for divorce from Christina in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting spousal support.
