FLIP or Flop star Christina Haack’s ex Ant Anstead reunited with all three kids for the first time in two years.
Ant shares his son, Hudson, with Christina and his kids Amelie and Archie with his first ex-wife Louise.
Ant, 42, has been separated from his kids for over two years due to quarantine restrictions and is reunited with all three of them for the holiday season.
Earlier this week, the television star posted on Instagram a snap of Amelie, 18, Archie, 15, and Hudson, 2, watching television in front of the Christmas tree.
Ant captioned the post: “Movie night with cosy blankets and popcorn. My heart is full.”
Louise Herbert lives with Amelie and Archie in England, whereas Ant is based in California.
Even with the distance, Ant has continued to be a part of his children’s lives, often gushing about his kids on his Instagram feed.
He’s posted photos of their FaceTime sessions and tributes for birthdays.
DIVORCE DRAMA
Ant and Christina, 38, were only married for two years before their divorce.
They filed for divorce in September 2020 citing “irreconcilable differences.”
At this time, it remains unclear what ultimately led to their split, however, a source told People that Haack and Anstead had been struggling with their relationship for a year — since the birth of their son Hudson.
“After the baby, they started having conflicts,” the source said at the time.
Haack made the formal announcement regarding their divorce on Instagram, writing: “Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate.
“We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority.”
Adding: “We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.”
The divorce was really difficult for Anstead, who dished to People about their split, saying: “It really hit me hard.
“The impact on me, my sleep, my diet, my stress, it showed.
“But I reached this turning point where I was either going to dwell in the darkness or I was just going to slap myself around the face a few times and say, ‘Wake up; you’re incredibly blessed.
Adding: “Focus on all the great things.’”
FLIPPING AND FLOPPING
Prior to marrying Anstead, Haack was married to real estate businessman Tarek El Moussa.
The pair have their own HGTV show titled Flip or Flop and owned a real estate agency together.
They divorced in 2018 after nine years of marriage.
Haack and El Moussa had two children together, Taylor, and Brayden El Moussa.
Despite their split, they continued to film Flip or Flop together and co-parent their children.
On October 24, 2021, El Moussa then remarried Heather Rae Young in a lavish wedding featuring flower arches and walls of champagne.
NEW BOY
Christina has firmly moved on after getting engaged to Joshua three years after Christina finalized her divorce from Tarek.
She announced her engagement to boyfriend Joshua in September, with three photos of the couple as she flashed a large diamond on her left hand.
In the caption she put some emojis including a heart, padlock, key and diamond ring.
The news comes after Joshua left his ex-wife “heartbroken” by moving on with Christina just two months after their divorce.
It has been claimed that the HGTV star had been dating the Texas-bred real estate agent for a few months before they were spotted together publicly.
