Christina Haack divorce finalized as Josh Hall takes a pointed Instagram victory lap and walks away with cars, no support

I am Jaden Patel, and a California judge finalized Christina Haack and Josh Hall’s divorce on August 26, closing a highly public split that left receipts, captions, and a well-dressed DeLorean in its wake. Consider this the rare breakup where the punchlines write themselves and the court filings provide the setup.
The fresh tea: right after the ink dried, Hall hopped on Instagram to announce he was “finally, legally divorced and a free man,” pairing the line with cowboy-core imagery and a subtle thesis on boundaries. He also added a parting lesson about not marrying someone who craves public validation and turns private drama into attention. Fox News Digital says court documents confirm neither party gets spousal support, and a source close to Hall framed the split as refreshingly even by reality TV standards. Translation: no prenup, no support, but everyone keeps what they brought in and what they built together gets split. People Magazine previously reported Haack’s on-camera claim on The Flip Off that Hall “wants to retire off me,” which lands differently now that the paperwork shows zero support either way. Two outlets, two very public narratives, one resolved docket.
Asset roll call for the detail lovers: Haack keeps her Newport Beach mansion and that Tennessee farmhouse that screams rustic weekend escape. Hall retains several vehicles, including a 2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8, a 1982 DeLorean that would make any time traveler jealous, and a Honda CRF motorcycle for when he needs the wind to do the talking. A source told Fox News Digital that Hall bought every car himself and voluntarily waived spousal support. Given there was no prenup, that same source suggested Haack might consider a thank-you card. Dry stationery, obviously.
The marriage itself moved at HGTV speed. The pair started dating in March 2021, married secretly by October, then made it official-official in Hawaii. No children together, but plenty of public-facing content. Before filing, they even filmed for The Flip Off with Haack’s first ex Tarek El Moussa and his second wife Heather Rae. Hall showed up in the premiere episode, then life intervened and the edit moved on without him. Reality television giveth, reality television taketh away.
As for the war of words, the timeline tells the story. In February, Haack used a Flip Off moment to claim Hall kept making financial offers and wanted a cushy retirement via her. That was captured and amplified by People. Fast forward to August, and Fox News Digital cites court records showing neither owes support. Add Hall’s Instagram statement about eschewing handouts and keeping what is his, and you have a he-said, she-said that collided with a judge’s signature. Consider this season finale certified by the state of California.
Post-split rebound report: Hall is dating model Stephanie Gabrys. Haack is seeing businessman Christopher Larocca. We have entered the era of clean slates and updated contact photos. Hall’s camp told Fox News Digital he is thrilled to move on and never speak to her again, which is quite a mission statement. If you are wondering whether that means fewer tabloid theatrics, Hall’s caption implies yes. If you are wondering whether the internet will allow that, please look around.
Let us not overlook the optics. A cowboy hat, a saddled horse, and a caption about real reality makes for a tidy rebrand. The cars staying put in Hall’s name punctuate the narrative that he kept his own lane. Meanwhile, Haack’s real estate portfolio remains intact, which fits the HGTV mogul arc. The Flip Off cameo count tells another story: the show must go on, even if the romantic subplot left the chat.
For fans tracking every twist, here is the plot in three lines. The court finalized the divorce without spousal support for either side. Properties and vehicles stayed aligned with who owned or acquired them. Both stars have moved on romantically, and both appear determined to write their next chapters without the other’s editorial notes.
What to watch next: will The Flip Off address the off-camera breakup beats in any future episodes or reunions. Will Instagram remain the courtroom of public opinion, complete with captions that double as closing arguments. And will that DeLorean get a tasteful cameo in a soft-launch carousels-only debut. Keep an eye on the listings, the grid, and the credits. If there is one thing this saga has taught us, it is that private drama loves a public platform with good lighting.
Well, there you have it. Two signatures, several cars, and one very relieved cowboy hat.
