Christina Haack quietly went Instagram official with her new boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, on Saturday after it was revealed that the pair have been ‘dating’ for months.
The TV personality, 41 – who has to pay ex Josh Hall $150k from the sale of her $4.5M Tennessee home – shared an assortment of snaps to her Instagram stories while enjoying a lavish getaway to Paris with the businessman.
It comes amid the star’s ongoing divorce from Hall following their split last year in July 2024. He has since also debuted a new romance with Stephanie Gabrys this month.
Earlier this week on Tuesday, Christina and her new beau were spotted boarding a flight at LAX together.
In the latest update in her budding romance, the HGTV star reposted a photo of tasty cocktails that Christopher had originally shared to his own account.
The couple tagged each other as they grabbed the drinks while at the Bvlgari Hotel during the European trip.
Haack also flashed a cheerful smile in a second image while holding another cocktail in her hand at the Dior Cafe.
It comes shortly after it was revealed to DailyMail.com by a source that the beauty has been secretly dating the CEO of Network Connex.
‘Christina has been dating Chris Larocca for a few months now. They’re always together and out and about around Newport,’ the insider explained. ‘They even have traveled abroad and visited other countries together.’
Haack and Larocca are ‘surprised’ that the news of their relationship hasn’t come out because ‘they certainly don’t hide that they’re together.’
However, it is not known when Christina first crossed paths from the businessman who is from California – but they have stopped by a few events together over the past three months.
Back in October 2024, she went to Europe for the ‘most incredible week’ and shared a snap of herself inside a Ferrari.
The luxury car brand shared images to its Newport Beach Instagram page, and Haack allegedly could be seen holding hands with her new beau following a special dinner.
And this week on Tuesday, the pair were seen at LAX as they boarded a flight to head to a new destination together.
As they stepped out of a vehicle, Christopher was seen sweetly placing his hand on her back while guiding her towards the plane.
During a recently interview with Us Weekly, Haack opened up about whether she would tie the knot once again following the end of her marriage to Josh Hall.
The former couple tied the knot in 2022 before announcing their split last year in July.
She was also previously married to Ant Anstead from 2018 until 2021, and the pair welcomed son Hudson, five.
Beforehand, she also said ‘I do’ to Tarek El Moussa in 2009 before their divorce in 2018. They share two children: Taylor, 15, and Brayden, nine.
‘I’ll always love love,’ Christina told the outlet, and then added, ‘I probably will [get married again] eventually. But, not anytime soon.’
She explained that in order to walk down the aisle again, she would need to ‘be engaged for a minimum of, like, five years.’
Her ex, Josh Hall, has also moved on and is ‘happily dating’ a Nashville-based bikini model named Stephanie Gabrys.
A separate insider told Us Weekly, ‘Josh met someone wonderful in Nashville, and they have been happily dating for some time. Josh wasn’t trying to date, but he met someone, and it was a perfect match.’
He has ‘no desire to be a celebrity’ and is also ‘trying to live a more private life’ amid the new relationship.
‘He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret. Josh is just low-key. 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.’
He went public with Gabrys on Instagram as the couple held smiles on their faces while posing for a snap together.
This week, Haack was ordered to pay her ex Josh Hall $150,000 from the sale of their $4.5 million Tennessee home, which was listed for sale in October.
According to new court documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, Christina was ordered by a California judge – where the former couple’s divorce is taking place – to deposit the $150,000.
The docs state, ‘No later than five days after the close of the escrow, [Christina] is ordered to deposit $150,000 from the sale of the home into [Josh’s] counsel-client trust that is interest-bearing with restricted access.’
Although the order was issued at the end of October, documents detailing this order were just filed in court this month after Christina’s newly retained counsel was hired.
It was previously reported that the HGTV star fired her former lawyer, DeArmey Law APC, and hired ‘Disso Queen’ Laura Wasser, who is known for representing Kim Kardashian and other A-list celebrities.
Before the order was issued by a judge, Josh through his counsel, stated in court docs that there was a dispute regarding ‘Josh’s Moore/Marsden interest in the Parker Branch property’ and demanded that the Court ordered ‘the sum of at least $150,000.’
Christina, for her part, disputed Josh’s Moore/Marsden interest claims.
A source told DailyMail.com that Josh has not lived at the Franklin property for quite some time.
‘Josh hasn’t stayed at the house in months. He has his own temporary place for the time being,’ the source revealed.
The over 5,000-square-foot-property was listed for sale on October 5, 2024, but then removed from real estate listings on October 25.
It was listed for sale again on December 3 and continues to remain an active listing.
According to court records, ‘Josh does not intend to interfere with the sale based on the Court’s orders,’ although past court records showed that Josh had filed a temporary emergency order to stop the sale at one point.
In court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Josh had offered Christina a global settlement offer but then she proceeded to list it.
He also said that she allowed him to live in the home when it was unoccupied, which he did for 12 days in September, but now he has relocated somewhere else in Tennessee and claims he’s ‘suffering prejudice’ because his living expenses will increase.
In the documents, Josh claimed the home was listed by Christina without his consent and without a court order.
The home was purchased by Christina in February 2021, prior to their wedding, however Josh insisted ‘the community maintains an appreciation interest due to the paydown of the mortgage during marriage.’
Josh and Christina have been embroiled in messy legal proceedings since he filed for divorce from The Flip Off star in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage.
On a recent episode of Jeff Lewis Live, the real estate mogul said she and her ex are ‘not even close’ to resolving and revealed they’ll be ‘going to trial.’
The real estate investor’s marital issues with Josh will play out when her new show with Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather El Moussa premieres on January 29 on HGTV.
