In July 2024, Josh Hall filed for divorce from Christina Haack. Now, amid the messy public feud between the estranged couple, the HGTV star is officially dating someone else. Christina Haack and her new boyfriend, businessman Christopher Larocca, made their relationship Instagram official on Wednesday, though the new couple was spotted together several times before their hard launch.

She first hinted at her new romance in January.
After Christina and Christopher were spotted seemingly traveling together, a source told the Daily Mail that they had already been dating for “a few months now.” In January, Christina reshared a photo that was originally posted by Christopher. The photo, which she shared via her Instagram Stories, showed two drinks side by side at a hotel in Paris, France.
On February 5, she posted a photo in which she sat on her new boyfriend’s lap.
They were seated together on a private jet and both held glasses of champagne. “Some plane flights must be hard posted” Christina captioned the Instagram post. In another photo included in the same post, Christina and Christopher stood in front of the jet with their arms wrapped around each other.

Christina has a history of moving on quickly.
The fact that Christina is dating someone new just seven months after her split from Josh Hall is not necessarily surprising given that it seems to be a pattern for the reality star.
Christina married her first husband, Tarek El Moussa, in 2009. In 2016, they announced their split, but they didn’t finalize their divorce until 2018. That same year, she married her second husband, Ant Anstead. In 2020, Christina and Ant split up. They finalized their divorce in 2021 — the same year that Christina began dating her third husband, Josh.
She recently opened up about this pattern.
In a clip from The Flip Off, Christina admitted that she tends to jump into new relationships “too fast,” per People. Though she knows it’s a problem, it seems to be a coping mechanism for her.
“I feel like I try to hide and act like I’m not affected but then I just do more stupid things to try to make myself feel better,” she told Tarek. “I just keep doing it and getting into things too fast that I know aren’t right.”
She added that she “never wanted to get divorced.” Post-divorce, entering another relationship is what feels “safe” for her. “I’m the only person in my family to ever get a divorce,” she confessed. “So I just felt like it’s safe to be back in a relationship, but ultimately, that was not safe either.”
In another clip, Christina was presented with an ‘anti-marriage contract.’
On February 2, Tarek and his current wife, Heather El Moussa, poked fun at Christina’s failed marriages in another promotional clip for The Flip Off. “Count one, guilty,” the audio used for the clip said. “Count two, guilty. Count three, guilty.”
As Heather mouthed along to the audio, she showed Christina photos of each one of her ex husbands before giving her an “anti-marriage contract.” At the end of the clip, Christina simply shrugged. “This case has too many defendants,” Heather captioned the video.
Some people praised Christina for her ability to laugh at herself.
“We love an unbothered Queen,” one person commented on the video. Several fans said Christina is “so worthy” of love and will surely find her person soon.
Then, there were others urged Christina to take a break from dating.
“Please don’t marry anyone again,” one Instagram user wrote.
“Try to be alone with out a man for a year or more,” another person advised.
