Michael Jordan & Juanita Jordan (2006)Josh Hall is officially moving on from his marriage to Christina on the Coast star Christina Haack—and he’s not holding back. After finalizing their divorce on August 26, 2025, the 44-year-old realtor took to Instagram to share his relief and throw some shade at his ex. This high-profile split, along with a fair settlement, marks the end of their two-year marriage. Below, we dive into the details of their divorce, Josh’s pointed comments, and a look at other celebrity breakups that came with hefty price tags.
“Excited to spend Labor Day weekend in the real reality,” he wrote. “Finally, legally divorced and a free man. I’ve always worked hard, kept what’s mine, and declined hand outs, and I’m keeping it that way.”
He didn’t stop there, adding, “Lesson learned: don’t marry someone who needs constant public validation and will use your personal drama for attention.”
According to a source close to Josh, the divorce settlement was “very fair.” The couple agreed to split earnings accumulated during their marriage, with each retaining assets they owned prior. Christina paid Josh an equalization payment of $300,000 in May 2025 from the sale of a Nashville property, an additional $100,000 in September 2024, and $40,000 for attorney fees, per court documents obtained by E! News.
Property-wise, Christina kept their former homes in Newport Beach, California, and Franklin, Tennessee, while Josh retained his Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, property. Josh also walked away with his prized vehicles—a 2021 Bentley, a 1970 Chevelle, and a 1982 DeLorean—which the source emphasized he purchased independently. Notably, Josh declined spousal support, a bold move considering there was no prenuptial agreement. The insider added, “Christina should send Josh a thank you, but Josh is happy to never have to speak to her again.”
Christina, now dating Christopher Larocca, has not publicly responded to Josh’s comments. E! News reached out to her representative but has yet to receive a reply.

However, their marriage was short-lived; less than a year later, the singer-actress filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. While the settlement amount was never officially disclosed, many reports suggest that Lopez paid around $14 million.

6. Donald & Ivana Trump
Donald and Ivana Trump tied the knot in 1977, but their marriage came to an end in 1992 amid rumors of his alleged affair with Marla Maples.

15. Alex Rodriguez & Cynthia Scurtis

Why Celebrity Divorces Are So Costly
High-profile breakups often involve massive settlements due to substantial assets, lack of prenuptial agreements, and lengthy legal battles. The absence of a prenup, as seen in Josh and Christina’s case, can lead to significant payouts, especially when one or both parties have considerable wealth or public influence. These splits also attract media attention, adding pressure to settle quickly or discreetly.
Final Thoughts
Josh Hall’s divorce from Christina Haack may not rival the multimillion-dollar settlements of Hollywood’s elite, but his pointed remarks and the $300,000 equalization payment highlight the emotional and financial stakes of celebrity splits. As Josh moves forward, his Instagram post suggests he’s ready to leave the drama behind. Meanwhile, Christina’s silence leaves room for speculation about her next chapter with Christopher Larocca.
