When Christina Haack shared a photo of a man, fans assumed that she was introducing her followers to her next boyfriend or husband. The HGTV star, 41, and her third husband, Josh Hall, recently split. They filed for divorce in July 2024 after less than three years of marriage. Given that she has a reputation for moving on pretty quickly, fans assumed that Christina had already found love again.

Christina Haack shared a picture of her 'brother from another mother' on November 2.
In her recent Instagram post, Christina referred to the man she was pictured with as “such a great friend.” In spite of the platonic-sounding caption, fans assumed that Christina was introducing her new romantic partner.
“Thought this was husband number 4 for a second there 😂,” one person commented on the post.
Another wrote: “Omg! Not another husband.”
At first, some worried that Christina was moving on way too fast.
“I first thought she was introducing us to a new boyfriend I was like d— girl slow down!! 😂,” one person wrote in the comments.
From the caption, fans realized that the man will probably not be Christina's fourth husband.
After reading Christina’s caption, some fans realized that she simply shared a photo of a good friend. “Happy Birthday to my brother from another mother. @jaredjstar25,” Christina captioned the post. “Thank you for ALWAYS being such a great friend. Love you and your family so much. So happy to be celebrating you all weekend!”
However, some fans remained convinced that Christina wanted people to think she was introducing her new boyfriend.
“She wanted us to believe at first look that she’s introducing us to her new boyfriend……she wanted that,” one person commented on the post.

Dating someone new shortly after initiating her divorce would not be unusual for Christina.
Though fans’ theories about her recent post appear to be incorrect, Christina has a reputation for entering new relationships shortly after separating. Christina and her first husband, Tarek El Moussa, announced their separation in 2016, and then Tarek officially filed for divorce in January 2017, per People. That same year, Christina began dating her second husband, Ant Anstead (before Christina and Tarek finalized their divorce). The HGTV star and her second husband then got married in 2018. They announced their divorce in 2020.
Christina began dating her third husband, Josh Hall, in 2021, before she and Ant finalized their divorce.
She is currently working on a show with her first husband.
Despite their divorce, Christina and Tarek are still collaborating. Initially, the exes were supposed to star in the new competition show, The Flip Off, alongside their spouses. Tarek and his current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, are still working on the show with Christina, but shortly after Christina’s recent divorce, sources told People that the three of them would continue filming the show without Josh.
Christina and Ant have seemingly reconnected.
Though Christina and her first husband are working together on a new show, Christina and her second husband haven’t had the best relationship with each other after splitting up. The exes share a 5-year-old son, but only recently started following each other on Instagram again.
Based on their interactions on the platform, their relationship has seemingly improved. They have tagged each other in posts about their son’s soccer practices, and when Ant posted about their son’s birthday in September, Christina commented, “Happy Birthday to our sweet boy!”
