Christina Haack & Josh Hall Split After Two Years Of Marriage

Out with the old, in with the new?

A new behind-the-scenes teaser of Christina Haack's new HGTV series The Flip Off has fans wondering if she's officially replaced estranged husband Josh Hall.

Haack and Hall were originally supposed to compete alongside each other against her first husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa on the home renovation competition show. However, fans noticed a new man by Haack's side in the wake of her ongoing divorce.

In a Dec. 14 Instagram post, Haack—who shares children Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, with El Moussa—stands next to an identified man, who appears to be her new teammate. The duo even engage in some playful trash-talking with the El Moussas while on location at a hillside mansion.

However, HGTV fans were quick to identify to mystery man as Haack's longtime Christina on the Coast contractor Michael Lange. While it's unclear if Lange will be teaming up with Haack as a stand-in for Hall or just appearing in one episode, the mother of three appeared confident and ready for battle with a familiar face by her side.

In addition to Lange, Haack will have another trusted partner by her side when The Flip Off premieres. Her second husband Ant Antstead—with whom she shares 5-year-old Hudsonwas spotted filming with her last month.

Haack and Lange recently had fans talking after the house-flippers spent time together getting ready for Christmas. On Dec. 2, the 41-year-old shared a photo of her newly erected tree to Instagram Stories with a thank you to Lange.

“There are still good men left," she wrote, tagging her co-worker. "One of them right here single handedly hoisted this 11 foot tree into my home. Appreciate you."

As for Haack's messy breakup with Hall, the exes—who both cited irreconcilable differences in their respective divorce docs—were originally supposed to costar on The Flip Off before he filed for divorce in July after two years of marriage. Since the split, he's been erased from all promos.

Hall was also noticeably absent from the first look at season two of Christina in the Countrywhich was filmed prior to the breakup.

See the drama play out when The Flip Off premieres Jan. 29 on HGTV.
