On July 2, Christina Hall sat down with Us to discuss the new season of her show Christina on the Coast. During the interview, the HGTV star talked about her nearly three-year marriage to Josh Hall, explaining that they make time for date nights and had plans to go out to dinner for her birthday on July 9.

(Christina shares son Hudson, 4, with Anstead as well as daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with El Moussa.) “Christina was trying, but things happened, and it just wasn’t working,” says the insider, noting that the HGTV star is quickly picking up the pieces. “Christina was done when she filed the papers.
