It’s unclear if Josh Hall will appear on the show, considering he and Christina filmed together before theirdivorce filingin July 2024.Hall was later removedfrom the show’s promo photos released in December 2024.
“I did not enjoy filming with him, so having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way,” Christina toldEntertainment Tonightin November 2024, adding that Hall “doesn’t like” her friendly dynamic with Tarek.
Christina only reiterated her feelings during a January 2025 appearance onThe Jennifer Hudson Show, saying that filming was “so much easierwithout somebody else bothering me.”
Since Hall’s early exit, Christina has been seen filming with herChristina on the Coastcontractor,Michael Lange. It’s unknown if Lange is her official new partner onThe Flip Offor just a guest teammate.
As for guest judges,Heather Dubrow,Ant Anstead,Jeff LewisandSelling Sunset’sAmanza Smithare slated to make appearances. Christina and Tarek’s mothers will also throw in their two cents.
The one-minute sneak peek showed Christina informing Tarek that she and Hall had called it quits after nearly three years of marriage.
“Things with Josh have been bad for a long time,” she said. “The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?”
Christina explained that life had been “so hard and so horrible” since 2016 — the year she and Tarek separated.
After her divorce from Tarek was finalized in early 2018, Christinawed Ansteadthat same year. The couple welcomed a son together and eventuallysplit in 2020. Christina thenmarried Hallin 2021.
“It’s really taken a really bad toll on me,” themom of threesaid before apologizing to Tarek for any hurt she’d caused him. “I’m really sorry for s— too. I really am. I just want you to know.”
Tarek responded with empathy, saying, “I understand that feeling of being a little bit lost. And I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this.”

A month after her divorce from Anstead was finalized, Christina began dating Hall in July 2021. They secretly wed later that October.
In August 2024,Hall moved outof their Newport Beach, Calif., home and Christinareturned to the set ofThe Flip Offalone.
“I finally have my appetite back. I’m exercising again. My kids are happy andour house feels like home,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories that same month. “I will never give away my peace again. If you’ve ever lost peace and gained it back, there is a new level of gratitude for every single moment of life.”
Christina is currently in the process ofremoving a tattooon her left ring finger related to Hall. Meanwhile, he’sliving at her Tennessee farmhouse, which sheplanned to selluntil Hall intervened. He also allegedly asked for$65,000 per month in spousal support.

Nowadays, Christina and Tarek are friendly co-parents — something she claims was a stumbling block for her third husband. In November 2024, Christina toldEntertainment Tonightthat Hall harbored “jealously” toward Tarek.
“[He] doesn’t like our dynamic because Tarek and I have our own dynamic, and some could call it ‘flirty,’ ” she explained. “For me, it’s like a sibling type of thing.”
Christina seemingly gets along well with Tarek’s wife, Heather. The couplegot marriedin 2021 andwelcomed a sontwo years later.
“We’re here for anything she needs, honestly,” Tarek toldAccess Hollywoodin December 2024. “At the end of the day, we’re actually friends. We take care of each other, we’re really supportive.”
Heather jokingly added that she and Tarek have volunteered to “screen” Christina’s future suitors. “I feel like we’d be good judges,” she said. “We are up for the challenge.”
Leading up to the premiere ofThe Flip Off, Christina and Heather starred in a skit pretending they were having a “therapy session” to discuss Tarek’s behavior as a husband in each of their marriages.
In the skit, which was shared onInstagram, Heather tells Christina that things have only gotten “15% better” in the six years they’ve been together, so Christina offers her some words of encouragement.
“Yeah, but I will tell you this — the grass isn’t greener on the other side. So look, he’s gotten 15% better, so there’s probably another 30%,” she said. “By the time that you’re 60, he’s going to be really nice. There’s hope.”
