FLIP or Flop star Christina Haack shocked fans after posting and deleting a photo of her wearing a ring, creating speculation that she’s engaged to her boyfriend Joshua Hall.
Christina, 38 and Joshua reconnected this spring after previously meeting at a real estate conference years prior.
The two appear to be getting much closer according to the reality star’s photos as they celebrate her new beau’s birthday in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Christina took to her Instagram Stories to share a photo of the pair lounging by the pool together while she indulged in an ice pop.
Both gazed at the camera as they snuggled on the same lounge chair.
Joshua showcased his tattoos on his chest and arms while sporting swim trunks, a hat and sunglasses.
Christina tilted her shades down as she took a bite of the tasty treat.
Fans quickly spotted a diamond ring on her finger that the star may have mistakenly left on as she deleted the pic shortly after posting it.
She then reposted the same pic using a red heart emoji to cover the ring.
Earlier in the day, the Christina on the Coast star shared a heartwarming message to her man to commemorate his birthday.
She wrote: “Happy birthday baby. You give me that teenage kinda love vibe and manly protection. It’s a combo for a lifetime of happiness + success.
“Thank you for reminding me what life and love are like when you put down the technology. I love you Josh.”
This isn’t the first time Christina gushed about her relationship on social media.
Earlier this month, Christina shared a sizzling shot of her kissing Joshua’s cheek while her legs were wrapped his waist.
Christina looked utterly loved-up as she posed barefoot while clad in a pair of blue jeans and white bodysuit.
Joshua couldn’t contain his delight for the outpouring of love as he smiled for the camera while wearing a pair of orange shorts, white T-shirt and baseball cap.
Captioning sun-soaked shot taken in Tennessee, she wrote: “Where it all began” and notably turned comments off the post.
NEW ROMANCE
The Flip or Flop host first stepped out with the Texas-bred real estate agent and former cop in July, while reports also claimed they had already been dating for “a few months.”
US Weekly revealed that the couple had previously met “a few years ago at a real estate conference.”
They are said to have reconnected this spring in Tennessee.
A source close to Christina and Joshua told People magazine on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, that the pair “recently started dating each other and it was an immediate, real connection”.
The source added: “They’ve enjoyed getting to know each other one-on-one without outside noise.”
News of Christina and Joshua’s romance came shortly after her ex-spouse, Ant Anstead, made his own relationship with Renée Zellweger official.
The HGTV star and her former husband finalized their divorce in June 2021 after being married for nearly two years.
They share a 22-month-old son named Hudson.
She also is mom to Taylor, 10, and Brayden, 6, with ex-husband and co-star Tarek El Moussa, who is set to tie the knot with Selling Sunset’s Heather Rae Young.
MOVING QUICKLY
Joshua was previously married to a woman named Chelsea Baker, and the 40-year-old only moved out of their marital home in Austin, Texas in February 2021.
The Celeb Report revealed that Joshua left his ex-wife “heartbroken” by moving on with the Flip or Flop star just two months after their divorce.
Court documents obtained from Travis County show he filed divorce papers on March 10, and a final decree of divorce was signed on May 12 of this year.
A source close to the couple exclusively told The Celeb Report: “It has been an extremely difficult time for Chelsea and the split is still fresh.
“It was a fairytale wedding and they seemed like the perfect couple. He ended it out of the blue and she was left heartbroken.
“For his new relationship to then play out in public and for them to be praised, it’s been really tough. It’s something no woman wants to go through.
“She doesn’t know the timeline of their relationship, but above all wishes him the best and just wants to move on with her life.
The source also told The Celeb Report that Chelsea has avoided reading about her former husband’s very public new romance with Christina but has been informed of their gushing social media posts and dates.
A second insider confirmed: “The split was not amicable, and all I can say is one person was left very, very hurt.
“It was a beautiful wedding and it’s a sad situation. Chelsea is the most kind, giving person you could know.
“She is a hard worker, smart, classy, would do any favor you could possibly ask with a smile on her face.
“She’s a totally normal, down-to-earth girl who would be your friend five minutes after you met her.”
ENGAGEMENT RUMORS
However, it seems Christina and Joshua are getting serious quickly as they already sparked engagement rumors in the past.
Christina plunked down an impressive $10.5million on a love nest for the couple in Dana Point, southern California.
She recently sold the Newport Beach home she shared with ex-husband Ant for $5.35million.
