Christina Hall Not ‘Rushing Into Another Marriage’ With Chris (Excl)
Christina Haack (née Christina Hall) may have moved on and into a new relationship with boyfriend Christopher Larocca amid her divorce from estranged husband Josh Hall, but a source exclusively tells Life & Style that the HGTV star “won’t be rushing into another marriage.”
“Christina has wasted no time in getting her personal life back on track. She’s dating Christopher Larocca, who she’s been friends with for a while,” the insider tells Life & Style. “He’s divorced and raising a teenager with his ex-wife, and as far as I know, he’s completely smitten with Christina and vice versa.”
Christina, 41, also has children as she welcomed daughter Taylor El Moussa and son Brayden El Moussa with her first husband, Tarek El Moussa. She later welcomed son Hudson Anstead with husband No. 2, Ant Anstead.
The source notes that the Flip or Flop alum “should move on, but now everyone is questioning the timeline of when she and Christopher started their romance.”
“Christina had a very tumultuous break up with Josh, she’s still going through it, but at the end of the day, she deserves happiness,” the source continues. “And you have to give her credit for not giving up on love. She’s already told friends not to worry, she won’t be rushing into another marriage. She’s learned her lesson, now she says she wants to be engaged for at least five years.”
On January 10, Daily Mail broke the news that Christina and Christopher were an item.
“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 outlet at the time, later adding, “They even have traveled abroad and visited other countries together.”
The same day, Us Weekly published a story, sharing Christina’s stance on marriage while navigating her third divorce.
“I probably will [get married again] eventually. But, not anytime soon,” the Christina in the Country star told the publication in a story published on January 10.
While Christina’s relationship with Christopher is developing, her relationship with Josh, 44, continues to get messy amid their divorce.
The realtor filed for divorce from Christina on July 16, 2024, after two years of marriage, leading her to submit her own paperwork later that day. Josh has since requested spousal support and moved $35,000 of their shared money into a personal bank account. That September, a judge ordered Josh to return the lump sum.
Christina and Josh battled it out over her Tennessee home, which the reality star put on the market for $4.5 million on October 3, 2024.
“My Tennessee home is officially for sale. Excited for a new venture in business & real estate,” she wrote via Instagram Stories at the time.
Josh, who started to reside at the home following their split, attempted to legally block Christina’s sale of the property six days later, Life & Style confirmed at the time.
Christina pulled the listing the following month.
Like his estranged wife, news broke that Josh also moved on and into a new relationship with girlfriend Stephanie Gabrys.
“Josh met someone wonderful in Nashville, and they have been happily dating for some time,” a source told Journalposts on January 10, 2025, hours after Christina and Christopher’s romance was announced.
The insider later added, “He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret. Josh is just low-key. He is very happy with his life and looking forward to 2025 and what’s on the horizon. This is the happiest he’s been in some time.”
