Christina Haack is “energy cutting” amid her ongoing divorce from estranged husband Josh Hall.
Haack, 41, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, January 13, to share a photo of firewood burning in a large bowl. She captioned the post “energy cutting” and added emojis of a peace sign as well as a wolf and a moon — a reference to the full Wolf Moon in the skies that night.
The HGTV personality seemed to be engaged in a wellness practice called “cord cutting,” which energy healer George Lizos recently described in Goop.com.
“Toxic cords of attachment … are created deliberately over time,” Lizos said. “The majority of these ties are formed as a result of the time and energy you spend deliberately with others — moments shared and words exchanged. Although these cords may have been positive at the start of a relationship, they have since become negative as the relationship has deteriorated.”
While Haack attempted to release negative attachments, her ex, Hall, went Instagram-official with new girlfriend Stephanie Gabrys.
On Monday, Hall updated his Instagram Stories with a pic of himself and Gabrys cuddling near a fire pit with mountains in the background. “Happy 35th to this real life [angel],” Hall captioned the photo, adding an angel emoji and tagging Gabrys.
Earlier this month, a source exclusively revealed to Us Weekly that Hall had “met someone wonderful in Nashville, and they have been happily dating for some time.” The insider noted that while Josh “wasn’t trying to date,” he met someone who is a “perfect match.”
Meanwhile, Haack revealed that her divorce battle with Hall was intensifying.
“We’re going to be going to trial I hear,” she said on the Thursday, January 9, episode of Radio Andy’s Jeff Lewis Live, alleging that Hall “doesn’t want to do mediation” and inferring that he wasn’t moving the process along.
“It’s going to be fun,” she told host Jeff Lewis. “Can’t wait.”
Haack and Hall both filed for divorce in July 2024 after more than two years of marriage.
According to court documents obtained by Us, Haack — who hired divorce attorney Laura Wasser — requested that neither party receive spousal support and wanted Hall to pay her lawyer fees. Hall, meanwhile, was seeking spousal support from his ex and asked her to pay his attorney fees.
“[The court hasn’t] ordered me yet but he’s been asking me [for money],” Haack, who is now reportedly dating businessman Christopher LaRocca, alleged in her latest interview. “I’ve already had to give a little something but then he bought a Bentley. I gave him money to live and he bought a Bentley but he also doesn’t have a job so.”
Responding to Haack’s latest interview, Hall’s spokesperson told Us: “Hall is not available for comment, as he’s continuing to live his life in the present and celebrating his beautiful new girlfriend’s birthday. With that said, it’s sad Christina must resort to low blows about her ex Josh to promote her new show. She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, ‘Why you so obsessed with me?’ We wish Christina the best.”
Hall’s rep added, “Christina knows nothing about Josh’s life, and it’s sad she keeps speculating. Her accusations are baseless.”
