Christina Hall Stresses Importance of Making Her Own Money Amid Josh Hall Divorce

Christina Hall is sharing priceless life lessons about finance as she navigates her divorce from Josh Hall.

Alongside a selfie of herself smiling in a car, the HGTV star thanked her parents for instilling in her a strong work ethic and encouraging her to become self-sufficient.

"Thanks mom & dad for always teaching me about hard work," the 41-year-old wrote on Instagram Sept. 4. "and making sure I knew the importance of making my own money."

Christina added, "It doesn’t buy 'happiness' but it does buy more opportunities & less people being able to mess with me.. and that makes me happy."

The Christina on the Coast star shared her words of wisdom over a month after she and Josh filed for divorce after more than two years of marriage. In his filing, her ex requested she pay him spousal support, with her slamming the request in her own legal filing.

"Like all hard-working mothers, my life revolves around my children and my work," Christina—who shares kids Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with ex Tarek El Moussa and son Hudson, 4, with ex Ant Anstead—wrote in her July 23 declaration. "It is my understanding that Josh has his own income and therefore he should not need any spousal support from me."

In the court documents, the Flip or Flop alum also accused her estranged husband of transferring funds into his own bank account without her permission.

"Quite frankly I am shocked and concerned by the fact that he has diverted over $35,000 of my separate property money to his separate account on July 8, 2024," she wrote. "The fact that this is the same date he now alleges to be our date of separation, even though it is actually July 7, 2024, makes it clear why he chose the next day."

Christina added, "It makes me wonder what else I am not aware of as it relates to his financial situation and that is why I am having a full forensic accounting performed for the entire term of our marriage."

E! News reached out to both Christina and Josh's reps for comment at the time but didn’t hear back.

In August, Josh, 43, broke his silence about his and Christina's breakup, sharing insight into how their relationship came to an end. "I prefer privacy, especially during something as life changing as a divorce I did not ask for," he wrote on Instagram. "I will not publicly badmouth anyone as people have families, friends and others who respect and love them."

He continued, "Unfortunately the internet is forever. We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters. Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are."
