Christina Hall Dating New Boyfriend Following Josh Hall Split
Back in the saddle! Christina Haack — formerly Hall — has reportedly been dating a new boyfriend for “months” after her split from estranged husband Josh Hall.
The HGTV star, 41, is seeing Orange County, California, businessman Christopher Larocca, The Daily Mail reported on Friday, January 10.
“Christina has been dating Chris Larocca for a few months now. They’re always together and out and about around Newport,” a source told the publication. The Beach Bargains star still lives in the $12 million Newport Beach, California, home she bought during her marriage to Josh, 44.
“They even have traveled abroad and visited other countries together,” the insider said about Christina and Chris, 52. The source claimed Chris joined The Flip Off star during a trip to France, which she posted about to her Instagram page in October 2024.
The source was “surprised” that the reported couple’s relationship hasn’t come out since “they certainly don’t hide that they’re together.” The Daily Mail had a photo of Christina and Chris happily posing together at a Christmas party on December 14, 2024, hosted by fashion and lifestyle influencer Amy Sexton at her Laguna Beach, California, home.
In photos Amy posted to Instagram of the party, Christina appeared in numerous snapshots with the female guests at the party, including Real Housewives of Orange County alum Kelly Dodd and podcaster Heather McDonald. Chris was visible in a group photo of the men who attended.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Chris is the president and CEO of Network Connex, which he describes as a “provider of mission-critical network deployment solutions in fiber optics, data centers, wireless and video networks.” He’s a graduate of USC’s Marshall School of Business.
Josh, 44, filed for divorce from Christina after two years of marriage on July 15, 2024, claiming their separation date was a week prior on July 8, 2024. Christina filed her own divorce paperwork the following day. They have yet to finalize anything due to a fight over a Tennessee property.
The Christina in the Country star took heat when she confirmed she was dating Josh in July 2021, after photos surfaced of the pair packing on PDA during a vacation in Mexico. She and second husband Ant Anstead had only finalized their divorce the month prior. The couple called it quits in September 2020 after 22 months of marriage and welcoming one child together, son Hudson.
“I may be a bit crazy and I’m definitely not perfect, but I will never live my life based on other people’s judgments or opinions,” Christina wrote in an Instagram post on July 8, 2021, where the couple marked their official social media debut. “So yes ‘another relationship’ and guess what. I’m 38 — I’ll do what I want.”
The pair’s whirlwind romance led them to get engaged in September 2021 and secretly marry the following month, as Josh became Christina’s third husband.
Christina was also previously married to her first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, from 2009 to 2018. They welcomed two kids together prior to their split.
Christina shared her hopes that 2025 would bring “karma restoration” in a Tuesday, January 7, Instagram post.
“Some things I’ve learned (and yes I am still a work in progress… healing is not linear) … awareness of past patterns, not ignoring my intuition and gut instincts, slowing the f down, talking to my friends vs. being embarrassed and not talking to anyone as well as not being afraid to have the hard conversations,” she wrote in the caption of a selfie.
“This year I will be doing the work with my life coach to break the cycle, taking the kids and myself on some amazing adventures and focusing on a few new projects while making sure they are all done with passion,” she added.
