Christina Haack's ex Ant Anstead and their son tackled Thanksgiving in the sweetest way.

The British TV personality took Hudson London Anstead on a fishing trip over the holiday, during which the 6-year-old scored his first catches.

"This week’s core memory making (first time fishing)," Ant wrote on Instagram on Nov. 29 alongside pics of the pair, including an image of Hudson holding a Bluestriped Grunt fish, "and Hudzo caught TWO fish all by himself!!"

The 46-year-old, who is dating Renée Zellweger, added, "We found a Florida bridge, but no idea what fish they are???? We carefully put them back…what a special Thanksgiving x."

Ant and Hudson's holiday fishing trip took place more than two months after the TV host reunited with Christina—with whom he called it quits in 2020 after nearly two years of marriage—to celebrate their son's birthday.

"Hudzo explained it’s his 'golden birthday' as he’s 6 on the 6th!" Ant—also dad to kids Amelie Anstead, 22, and Archie Anstead, 19, from a previous relationship—wrote on Instagram on Sept. 7 alongside a photo of the three at Hudson's birthday party, which took place at an indoor playground. "Legend!"

Although Christina—who also shares kids Taylor El Moussa, 15, and Brayden El Moussa, 10, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa—and Ant had a rocky period as co-parents following their breakup, the Christina on the Coast alum revealed last year that in the wake of her 2024 split from Josh Hall, her second husband proved to be an unlikely source of support.

“I went over to [Ant’s] house to pick Hudson up because I was taking him to a birthday party,” Christina shared on The Flip Off in February. "And when I walked up to the door, he gave me a huge hug. We hadn’t hugged in years. He just said, 'I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through and I’m here for you no matter what you need.’"

She added, "It was a very nice moment. We had a long talk after and we decided to put all the BS aside and be good co-parents, like Tarek and I, for Hudson."
