Christina Haack is building a strong foundation in her relationship.
The Flip Off star recently took a moment to thank her boyfriend Christopher Larocca for taking care of her amid her ongoing divorce from ex Josh Hall.
In a beachside snap shared to her Instagram Story March 23, the new couple were pictured holding hands as they smiled wide for the camera. Over the snap, Christina wrote to Christopher, “Thanks for always spoiling me.”
While the tender picture showcased a romantic moment of the pair, Christina’s gratitude was bolstered when she shared another post that alluded to the ongoing stresses in her life.
“When your world is in disarray,” the 41-year old captioned a March 24 Instagram post showing off her freshly-dyed hair, “but you have a hair wizard in the family. Anyone else feel like something is in the air right now?!”
Though the HGTV star—who shares kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, as well as son Hudson, 4, with ex Ant Anstead—didn’t reference Josh as the source of disarray, she has previously discussed the relief she and her family have felt since he moved out.
“The house is so much better,” Christina said on the March 13 episode of her series Christina on the Coast. “The kids are so happy. Like, everyone in this household is thriving and the kids truly are doing great. Everyone’s just doing better since he’s gone. Just all that negative energy.”
She also detailed how she attempted to support Josh amid their relationship woes, but she was ultimately unsuccessful.
“I truly tried to make that work and tried to give him the self-help tools,” she continued. “Tried to keep him busy and tried to say, ‘Why don’t we start flipping houses?’ and all those things.”
She added, “No matter what, you can’t make someone else happy; they can only make themselves happy.”
Despite her failed relationship with Josh, Christina has made it a point to celebrate her newfound love with Christopher, even marking a special milestone with him earlier this month.
“Chasing the sun with this one,” she wrote in a March 11 Instagram post alongside a carousel of pictures of the two enjoying some quality time. “First time in 12 years I haven’t had a shoot schedule… taking full advantage of the downtime.”
