Watch: How Christina Haack Celebrated Her Divorce From Josh HallChristina Haack is setting the record straight. The Flip or Flop star clarified the exact timeline of when she started dating her boyfriend Christopher Larocca while celebrating their first anniversary. The couple initially sparked romance rumors back in January, when they caught a flight together from Los Angeles. However, Christina, 42, revealed that the pair's love story actually began three months prior. "Our first photo together, over a year ago," Christina wrote alongside a selfie of the pair in an Oct. 6 Instagram post. "Thank you Chris for always dating me and spoiling me and showing me true respect." And in addition to revealing that she and Christopher started dating in October 2024-four months after she announced her breakup from estranged husband Josh Hall-the Christina on the Coast star provided insight into their initial meet-cute. "It's been a year of learning and growing and communicating and defending and sometimes fighting but always making up," she continued. "Thank you, thank you, thank you for walking into my life in that random Mexican restaurant in Newport."photosChristina Haack and Josh Hall: Romance RewindThis isn't the first time Christina-who shares kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, as well as son Hudson, 4, with ex Ant Anstead-has offered a glimpse into the origins of her and Christopher's relationship. In fact, she previously shared that she felt like their romance got "outed" when they were photographed at the airport together in January. And Christopher, 52, echoed that sentiment, adding that he felt like his "head was on a swivel" that day. Instagram "I had paparazzi calling me," the communications executive explained during their joint appearance on Radio Andy in March. "I had reporters calling me. I had a lot of things going on that day." But ultimately, the pair-who went Instagram official two months later-haven't let the moment impact how they feel about each other. "Thank God that KIND, hardworking, patient, sweet, loving, caring, adventurous, confident men still exist," Christina wrote of Christopher in a Sept. 9 Instagram. "And he's hot & fun. Lucky me."

The two went public with their relationship in January 2018-the same month Christina's divorce from Tarek was finalized-and tied the knot in a winter-themed wedding at their home in Newport Beach, Calif., on Dec. 22, 2018. Christina and Ant-who is dad to daughter Amelie and son Archie with his first wife Louise Storey-welcomed their first child together, son Hudson, in 2019. The couple were married for less than two years before announcing their separation in September 2020. Their divorce was finalized nine months later. Since the split, Ant has moved on with actress Renée Zellweger.

At the time, the baby boy arrived weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured at 19.5 inches long.
