Ant Anstead’s Tea-Sipping Troubles with Christina Haack: A Co-Parenting Conundrum

You know things are getting real when exes start throwing shade over tea preferences! Ant Anstead recently poked fun at his ex-wife Christina Haack on a candid episode of HGTV’s *The Flip Off*, suggesting that there’s a glaring issue in how she’s raising their adorable son, Hudson. If you haven’t been following, Anstead and Haack tied the knot in 2018 but called it quits in 2020, and they share custody of their five-year-old son. Fast forward to now, and between cups of Yorkshire tea—or lack thereof—Ant quipped, “If you don’t have tea, there’s problems,” when he found out Haack’s stocked kitchen was sadly devoid of the classic British brew.
But it seems like there’s a glimmer of hope for their co-parenting journey. In a surprising move following Haack’s recent split from her third husband, Josh Hall, Anstead has stepped up to be a supportive co-parent. “He gave me a huge hug,” Haack recounted, explaining how they finally put aside their past disputes for the sake of their son. Ant’s public expression of solidarity definitely raised eyebrows among Haack’s other ex, Tarek El Moussa, who didn’t even realize the exes were on speaking terms until it was all over television.
While Haack is navigating life post-split, with her past partnerships constantly in the limelight, she jokingly suggested that maybe a guest spot by Anstead (you know, for ratings) would be a “genius” idea. However, she quickly clarified that she has enough ex drama on her plate—especially as she’s also working closely with Tarek in the house flipping arena. Although the dynamics of ex-spouses can be messy, this duo seems to be finding a way to team up for Hudson’s sake, proving that sometimes a sprinkle of humor (and perhaps a good cuppa tea) can resolve conflicts.
So, keep your eyes peeled for more tea-related drama in their co-parenting saga! *The Flip Off* airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, so catch the latest antics as they unfold.
