Reality TV star Christina Haack has taken a break from filming and life in the spotlight after lifting the lid on difficulties she had filming her new show with soon-to-be ex-husband Josh Hall.
Haack broke her silence on the stress of filming early episodes of The Flip Off before heading overseas to unwind.
The pending divorce made headlines in October after estranged husband Hall filed legal paperwork to try to stop her from selling her $4.5 million (A$6.6 million) Tennessee farmhouse — where he had been living in the wake of their separation.
That Franklin property, which Haack purchased in 2021 before she and Hall tied the knot, has now been taken off the market.
The couple were supposed to star in HGTV’s new series alongside Haack’s first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his new wife Heather Rae El Moussa of Selling Sunset fame.

“We only filmed together a few times and it was not fun, to be honest. I did not enjoy filming with him. Having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way,” Haack said recently.
“When someone is insecure by you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything.
“I feel like I was not shining as bright to try to not make him feel emasculated.”
Haack said Hall had also been battling “jealousy over Tarek,” who became household names together as the married stars of HGTV’s Flip or Flop series.
But Haack appears to be putting the ordeal behind her, taking to Instagram to show off her much-needed getaway, simply saying “Scorpio season was good to me,” which left fans weighing in on her ugly split with ex Hall.
“You deserve this … considering everything you’ve been thru!! (sic) crushing it!” one follower said.
“Stay single for a while. Your new show is amazing,” said another.

“My scorpio sister, I also have had struggles but trust in yourself and have faith. All will be as it should be. Love yourself first,” added another commenter.
Despite the getaway, Haack still has a looming battle to face over the Tennessee farmhouse, which is known as Parker Branch.
In the legal order lodged by hall, he claimed the property was listed without his consent after he had offered Haack a global settlement, which she turned down.
Although Haack bought the home before she and Josh were married, he claims in legal documents that the “paydown of the mortgage during marriage” entitles him to a say in what happens to the property moving forward.
“The community maintains an appreciation interest due to the paydown of the mortgage during marriage,” he writes, according to a media source.
“A premature sale may result in prejudice to me as property values continue to rise in Tennessee, which continues to grow in population.”

He further claims that Haack had asked for his “written agreement” to sell the home on Sept. 23, but insists that he refused.
As part of a temporary settlement that was put in place in September, Hall was granted full use of the Tennessee property, provided he did not rent it out to anyone else, while Haack took full control of their $12 million Newport Beach, CA, home, which they purchased together.
Now, Hall says he has had to relocate to another dwelling in the state, which he claims has increased his living expenses. He insists that he is “suffering prejudice” as a result of Haack’s decision to list the farmhouse, despite not having a court order enabling her to do so.
“My relocation to Tennessee was significantly influenced by our aforementioned Stipulation allowing me to enjoy this property throughout our separation,” he goes on.
“I will now suffer prejudice because my living expenses will undoubtedly increase.”

He filed his temporary emergency order just days after the home was listed on Oct. 5 — and the property was taken off the market exactly three weeks later, although it is unclear whether Haack was ordered by a judge to remove the listing or whether she made the decision of her own accord.
The 483 sqm home on 23.82 acres was described as a “fabulous modern farmhouse” in the listing.
It was featured on the HGTV star’s latest series, “Christina on the Coast,” giving it something of a celebrity status.
When Haack originally listed the home, she took the opportunity to make a furious jab at her ex, mocking him for changing his Instagram bio location to Leiper’s Fork, where the property is located.
“I guess ‘Leipers Fork’ is gonna have to come off the bio soon. Time to go back to reality,” she began her post.
She then went on to accuse Hall of attempting to “steal” from her and her children, writing: “Remember when you said you would never steal from me or my kids and you would just be happy in a van with your dog. I guess plans changed.

“All about trying to take everything you can … With your mind on my money and my money on your mind …”
She then followed up with another statement in which she doubled down: “And yes this is ‘stealing’ from me and my family. Asking for an obscene amount of $ from me for a short-term marriage is factual.”
It’s unclear whether Haack’s decision to list her Tennessee property — which she purchased for $2.5 million in 2021, one year before she wed Josh — will affect the temporary settlement regarding the couple’s shared properties.
Per the agreement, Haack will take possession of their $12 million Newport Beach, CA, home, while Hall has full use of one of their home in Tennessee, provided he does not rent it out to anyone else.
He also agreed to return what remains of the $35,000 of Haack’s money that she accused him of transferring into his own account without permission, “less the amount I have paid in expenses” for their shared rental properties.
