After a challenging 2024. Joshua Hall is ready to leave the past behind and embrace the new year with a new perspective.

In July 2024, news broke that the TV personality and his wife, Christina Hall (née Haack), decided to end their marriage after more than two years together. They both filed for divorce on July 15th, with Joshua listing their divorce date as July 8th, while Christina listed it as July 7th.

While Joshua Hall didn't directly address the split in his recent update, he did share a moment of gratitude, noting that despite the hardships, 2024 "wasn't too bad" thanks to the support of his loved ones.

As he rang in the New Year, Hall was candid about the "tough year" he endured in 2024. While it had its moments, he admitted, "It helped me grow and be stronger than I've ever been."

"Sometimes difficult situations can change you. You end up being a different person. A better version of yourself," he continued. "You learn things about yourself that you didn't know before. It opened my eyes to a lot of things. Even though it was hard, I know it taught me a lot of lessons and I'm grateful for that. I always tell myself that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. "

Joshua Hall started dating Christina Hall shortly after her divorce from Ant Anstead in 2021. The couple married in 2022 and went on to star in several HGTV series, including "Christina on the Coast" and "Christina in the Country."

The duo was also set to compete against Christina's ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, on the upcoming HGTV series, "The Flip Off." However, after their split, the show's plans changed.

Hall added that these lessons helped him understand "who is really there for you. These people become your pillars in life. They stand by you."

"They understand when you need space. They have you even if you don't have them right now," Hall wrote. "I will forever be grateful to my community that continues to love me, support me and the special ones that have come into my life."

The realtor ended his Instagram post by looking ahead to 2025, calling it "a new year, a new beginning and a chance to write a new book with some new beginnings."

"This is going to be my best year yet," he concluded.

As their contentious divorce continues, Christina Hall has brought in high-profile attorney Laura Wasser in an effort to speed up the proceedings. According to the source he spoke with Us Weekly in November 2024, "Christina was not happy with the progress or lack thereof."

The insider added: "(She) has decided to go with the best divorce attorney to try and get this over with quickly and fairly."

Kim Kardashian famously turned on Laura Wasser in 2020 during her high-profile divorce from Kanye West. Known as a Hollywood divorce lawyer, Wasser's impressive list of A-list clients includes Johnny DeppChristina Aguilera, Ryan Reynoldsand Jennifer Garner.

However, Wasser's expertise comes with a heavy price. According to the report from 2016 Bloomberg In the report, she charges clients $850 per hour and claims $25,000 in fees. Her clientele typically consists of individuals with a net worth of $10 million or more, ensuring that her services remain exclusive to Hollywood's elite.

According to Us WeeklyChristina did not sign a prenuptial agreement before marrying Joshua, 43, in 2021 - a decision that could significantly affect the outcome of their split. An insider revealed that money has long been a point of contention in their relationship. "Christina works very hard and is successful. She felt Josh wasn't contributing enough to the household," the source explained.

However, another source familiar with the situation disputed this claim, stating that Joshua worked throughout their marriage and contributed financially.

Both Christina and Joshua filed for divorce on Monday, July 15, and their conflicting requests from the court suggest that reaching an agreement may not be easy. As the legal process unfolds, it's clear that financial disagreements and the lack of a prenuptial agreement will play a central role in their separation.
