Christina Haack’s solo HGTV show, Christina on the Coast, is back — but who is and isn’t on the cast list?
On Thursday, Feb. 27, the second half of season 5 kicked off and fans watched Christina, 41, get back to business, tackling a renovation project for a family whose home was in desperate need of a makeover.
However, unlike in the latest season of her Tennessee-based spinoff, Christina in the Country, where she and her third husband Josh Hall appeared happily together, despite the show airing after their split, there was no sign of the her ex, 44, in the premiere of Christina on the Coast.
Josh did appear in the first half of season five, which aired last summer, including a cameo at Christina’s daughter Taylor’s 13th birthday party. HGTV has not publicly shared if Josh will be present in the second portion, which will only be three episodes.
In one scene, Christina’s 9-year-old son Brayden seemingly pokes fun at a lifestyle change his mom has made amid her breakup as she brings him along to go shopping for wallpaper.
As they’re scoping out different prints, Brayden points to one with martini glasses all over it and tells his mom, “I feel like this one, you would like.”
Christina bursts out laughing and asks, “I would like this? Why?” Her son responds, “Because… it’s your new life.”
Still giggling, she says, “My new life is a martini with blue cheese olives? You’re not wrong.”
Along with Brayden, Christina shares daughter Taylor, 14, with her first ex-husband and Flip Off costar, Tarek El Moussa, 43. She also has another son, Hudson, 5, from her second marriage to Ant Anstead, 45.
Josh officially filed for divorce from Christina on July 15, 2024 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. He also requested spousal support from the HGTV star.
While it’s possible he might not be featured on Christina on the Coast at all moving forward, the Tennessee-based real estate professional did make several cameos on The Flip Off, which aired 6 months after their split.
In the premiere of the Flip Off, viewers got to see several unpleasant interactions between the pair shortly before the end of their marriage.
One scene featured the two having a tense conversation, with Josh eventually telling his then-wife to “shut up” and that she was “pissing me off.” Later in the episode, she broke down while telling Tarek she and Josh had “officially split up,” and revealed that their kids even told her to leave him because he’s “not nice” to her.
Throughout the season, Christina offers multiple divorce updates and reveals the situation is getting messier.
In one episode, she alleged that a vehicle was missing from her Tennessee home, where Josh had been living following their split. A source close to Josh told PEOPLE at the time “he was out washing and gassing up [the UTV]” and “was already on his way back to deliver it when she asked where it was.”

Christina admitted in the same scene that she wished she had gotten a prenup before they got married and said she wouldn’t have married Josh at all if she knew what a nightmare the divorce would be.
