Josh Hall Goes Instagram Official with New Model Girlfriend amid Christina Haack Divorce

Josh Hall’s new relationship is now Instagram official!

The Tennessee-based real estate professional, 44, shared a photo with his girlfriend, model Stephanie Gabrys, in an Instagram post on Monday, Jan. 13, amid his ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, HGTV star Christina Haack.

In the photo, Hall and Gabrys are sitting in front of an outdoor fireplace with her on his knee. Christmas decorations and scenic mountains can be seen in the background.

“Happy 35th to this real life [angel emoji],” Hall captioned the post. “Thank youuuuu!!” Gabrys replied in her repost.

On Jan. 10, a source told PEOPLE exclusively that Hall and Gabrys are “perfect” for each other.

“Josh met someone wonderful in Nashville, and they have been happily dating for some time,” the insider said at the time, noting that Hall “wasn’t trying to date, but he met someone, and it was a perfect match.”

Hall is “trying to live a more private life and has no desire to be a celebrity,” the source continued. “He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret.”

“Josh is just low-key,” the insider added. “He is very happy with his life and looking forward to 2025 and what’s on the horizon. This is the happiest he’s been in some time.”

The source notes how Gabrys has been by her boyfriend’s side amid his split from the HGTV star.

“Stephanie has been there for Josh through all of this,” the insider says, adding that their “relationship is new, but they get closer every day and Josh has said she is a breath of fresh air.”

Gabrys — who splits her time between Chicago, Florida and Nashville, according to her Instagram — also accompanied Hall on his birthday trip to Big Sur, Calif. in September.

In Hall’s recent Instagram post, in which he reflected on the “tough year” he had in 2024, Gabrys left an affectionate comment: “Proud of you and the strong, patient, hard working, generous, and kind hearted man you are! 2025 is going to be the best year yet!”

The model also called the former Santa Monica police officer, “the absolute sweetest” in the comments of her recent Instagram post, writing, “You are also on my and so many others, list of blessings! Truly grateful for you!”

After nearly three years of marriage, Hall filed for divorce from Haack on July 15, 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences” and requesting spousal support, per documents obtained by PEOPLE. Their divorce proceedings, many of which have been playing out in the public eye, are ongoing.  

Haack is also in a new relationship with businessman Christopher Larocca, PEOPLE confirmed on Saturday, Jan. 11.

Larocca is a California native, as well as president and CEO of Network Connex, according to the company’s official website. He and Haack were reportedly dating for about three months when news of their relationship went public in January. Daily Mail was the first to report it.

Haack’s new boyfriend reportedly joined her on her trip to Italy in October 2024, according to a photo of the couple allegedly holding hands during their getaway. The pair were also seen getting cozy at a holiday party in December, according to the outlet.
