Christina Hall and her husband Josh Hall have nailed how to co-parent with the former’s ex-husbands, Tarek El Moussa and Ant Anstead.
The HGTV star, 40, shares daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, eight, with her first ex-husband Tarek, and her youngest son, four-year-old Hudson, with second ex Ant.
Check out in the video below the sweet way Josh has settled into becoming a step-dad to Hudson, and how their bond is captured in their family home…
The Christina in the Country star maintains a strong co-parenting relationship with Ant, 45, who is now in a relationship with Renée Zellweger (and has two older children from his previous marriage). She and Josh, however, are quite close with Tarek, 42, and his new wife Heather Rae El Moussa.
Tarek and Heather, who welcomed a son of their own last year, Tristan, are teaming up with Christina and Josh for a new HGTV series titled The Flip Off, a riff on the exes’ original HGTV series Flip or Flop, which first made them TV stars.
In an interview with Us Weekly last year, Christina emphasized that her husband Josh had lovingly embraced his role as a step-dad, gushing: “Josh has taken on step-dad duties with love and integrity and that’s big for me.”

“When we don’t have the kids, we have time to ourselves and that’s something that keeps our relationship strong,” she continued of sharing custody with her exes.

Even when there’s an incident, or someone’s upset, if the kids are happy and healthy, the rest is logistics.”

Christina did shut down the idea of them expanding their family any further, though. “That door is closed,” she quipped. “We talked about that when we met. We’re just too busy, and I don’t feel like that’s fair.”

“I hold nothing against Christina. I don’t blame her. I understand why she did what she did,” he told the publication. “We had a lot of hard years through my sicknesses and my mental health struggles from the testosterone. So no ill feelings, and I understand her point of view.”
