Christina Haack is nipping this rumor in the bud.
Nearly a year after the HGTV star and Josh Hall filed for divorce, and she began dating boyfriend Christopher Larocca, she slammed an accusation that her current relationship began as a result of cheating on her estranged husband.
“Christina was separated when she met Chris,” Haack’s rep told the Daily Mail in a statement, adding that Christopher’s ex Andrea Deanna, who alleged Haack and Larocca had been unfaithful in their former romances, “continues to make false allegations and spread lies.”
Meanwhile, Larocca’s rep also “categorically denies” the cheating allegations, noting that while he was romantically connected to Deanna, their relationship ended prior to he and Haack beginning to see each other.
“He ended his relationship with [Andrea] prior to his relationship with Ms. Haack,” his rep told Daily Mail. “Any statement that they met in June is untrue.”
However, Hall has been open about the “tough year” he faced following his divorce from Haack, which was filed in July 2024, and his rep noted he was “not surprised” by the rumors.
“What's surprising is it took this long for a media outlet to contact Josh and ask about it,” Hall’s rep said in their statement to the Daily Mail. “We've been awaiting this question.”
E! News has reached out to reps for Haack, Deanna Larocca and Hall but has not yet heard back.
Haack’s shutdown of cheating rumors comes just three months after she detailed the sour feelings that led up to her separation from Hall.
“He doesn’t like me," Haack said of Hall during a January episode of The Flip Off. “He calls me cocky. He thinks I’m arrogant, when we both know I’m not cocky or arrogant and I just do work.”
And the Christina on the Coast alum admitted that her older children Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9—whom she shares with ex Tarek El Moussa—had “asked her” to leave Hall.
As Haack—also mom to 5-year-old Hudson with ex Ant Anstead—put it, “They told me he’s not nice to me.”
Hall, for his part, has admitted that the “tough situation” he’s been in for the last year ultimately helped him grow.
“It’s taught me a lot,” Hall—who has since debuted a romance with Stephanie Gabrys—said in an Instagram post in January. “It helped me grow and be stronger than I’ve ever been.”
