Josh Hall Claims He ‘Didn’t See’ Ex Christina Haack While Dining at the Same Restaurant, Would’ve ‘Sent Over a Drink’

Josh Hall claims he never noticed he and his estranged wife Christina Haack were having dinner in the same place at the same time last week.

On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Tennessee-based realtor used his Instagram Stories to respond to a PEOPLE article detailing Christina’s run-in with him at Ocean 48 in Newport Beach, Calif.

“Just got sent this,” Josh wrote over a screenshot of the article. “Funny, I didn’t even see her. I would have totally sent over a drink. Great spot!”

He included an emoji of two champagne glasses.

In his Instagram Stories post from the night prior, Josh can be seen dining with a group of friends at the SoCal fine dining establishment. He, along with seven others, posed for a photo op while seated at a round table.

“Little surf and turf with this crew,” he wrote just above the image.

Christina — who was joined by her 14-year-old daughter Taylor and her The Flip Off costar (and Taylor’s stepmother) Heather Rae El Moussa, 37 — didn’t appear to be as at ease as her ex.

“When you’re having a relaxing GNO with @heatherraeelmoussa and Tay and 🐍 shows up at your spot,” Christina, 41, wrote over a Boomerang of the trio out to eat.

Josh filed for divorce from Christina in July 2024 citing “irreconcilable differences” after nearly three years of marriage. He asked for spousal support.

Heather is currently married to Christina’s ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and all three are currently starring on HGTV’s The Flip Off together.

Ahead of the new year, Heather and Tarek told Access Hollywood that the “extremely complicated” situation is “definitely entertaining.”

“We’re here for anything she needs, honestly,” Tarek, 43, added of his ex-wife. “I know there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world between the co-parenting, but at the end of the day, we’re actually friends. We take care of each other, we’re really supportive.”

In addition to Taylor, Christina shares son Brayden, 9, with Tarek. She shares another son, Hudson, 5, with her second husband, Ant Anstead, who has also appeared on The Flip Off.

During a recent episode of the series, the mother of three claimed Josh allegedly sought a large sum in their divorce settlement.

Christina was working beside her partners, contractor Michael Lange and designer Kylie Wing, when Lange asked her if she had a court date coming up soon.

“Court? Oh it got postponed because he made a horrible offer,” she responded, referring to Josh. “He asked for $3.5 million from me.”

On Jan. 11, PEOPLE confirmed that Christina was in a new relationship with businessman Christopher Larocca. That same month, PEOPLE also confirmed that Josh is now dating model Stephanie Gabrys.
