Josh Hall Tells Christina to Remember Her Last Name in Tense 'Flip Off' Clip

The Flip Off is about home makeovers, but star Christina Hall’s divorce drama with her estranged husband, Josh Hall, is already stealing the show.

In an all-new sneak peek from the upcoming HGTV show, Josh, 44, and Christina, 41, have a tense moment while driving to a project ahead of their split.

“This is a competition, you gotta pull out all stops. Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do it,” Josh tells Christina in the clip.

To pump up his then-spouse, Josh yells, “Halls rule!” but Christina gives him the silent treatment from the passenger seat.

“You’re supposed to say it with me or repeat it or something to show that you’re with me. Remember, you’re a Hall now,” Josh says, which results in Christina letting out a big sigh.

Josh then looks over at her and reminds her that they are supposed to be a team. “Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is,” he says in a negative tone, before calling the Christina on the Coast star “rude.”

Christina claims she just doesn’t “over talk,” which fires Josh up even more. “You know how much s— you say and I’m just like, ‘I wish you’d shut up already?’” he asks.

Christina lets out an audible “uhhh” sound as they continue on their route. “My wife’s pissing me off already,” Josh says to which Christina asks, “Are we there yet?”

At the end of the clip, Christina meets up with her ex-husband and The Flip Off competitor Tarek El Moussa and he instantly knows something is wrong.

“I know that look. What’s going on? You good?” El Moussa, 43, asks. Christina takes a beat and then tells him, “No,” revealing, “Josh and I officially split up.”

Christina and Josh tied the knot in April 2022. During their marriage they worked together on Christina in the Country, which followed Christina’s renovation efforts in Tennessee. He also appeared on Christina on the Coast, which focuses on Christina’s projects in California.

In May 2024, the pair revealed they would be competing against Christina’s ex Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, on The Flip Off, which premieres Wednesday, January 28. (Christina and Tarek previously worked together for 10 years on HGTV’s Flip or Flop, which filmed before, during and after their divorce, which was finalized in 2018. The exes share two children: Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 10.)

While Josh was intended to have a bigger role in The Flip Off than his past collaborations with Christina, that changed when they both filed for divorce in July 2024. (Their legal proceedings are still ongoing with Christina hiring powerhouse attorney Laura Wasser in November 2024 to expedite the process.)

Us Weekly exclusively confirmed at the time that since The Flip Off was “in production” already, Christina, Tarek and Heather, 37, were “moving forward with the show without” Josh.

In November 2024, Us confirmed that Christina’s other ex-husband Ant Anstead would partner with her for a “portion of the show.” Christina and Anstead, 45, were married from 2018 to 2020 and share 4-year-old son Hudson.

Later that month, Christina opened up about her past relationship with Josh and their working dynamic, which she claimed was not positive.

“When someone [feels] insecure by you and doesn’t like to see you win, that really puts a damper on everything,” she alleged in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I feel, like, I was not shining as bright to try and not make him feel emasculated, but who wants to live like that?”

Christina said it was “not fun” and she “did not enjoy filming with him,” so their breakup made it “much easier” work wise.

She then claimed that Josh didn’t like her “dynamic” with ex Tarek. “Some would call it ‘flirty.’ It’s more, like, a sibling-type thing,’” she added.

Tarek, for his part, exclusively told Us in October 2024 that he “never, ever in my life thought this show would happen” with his wife — with whom he shares son Tristan, 23 months — on one side and ex-wife on the other.

The Flip Off promises to be “a throwdown competition” between Christina and Tarek (with the help of Heather) to see which ex can “find, renovate and flip a house of the biggest financial gain,” according to the official press release. The winner will get “bragging rights and a first-class vacation paid for by the loser.”

The Flip Off premieres on HGTV Wednesday, January 29, at 8 p.m. ET and available the same day to stream on Max and Discovery+.
