Ant Anstead and Christina Haack recently had an unexpected reunion on her HGTV show. Now she’s teasing she may return the favor with an appearance on his.
The British born TV presenter and Haack’s second ex-husband, 46, made waves when he served as a guest judge on her house flipping competition series The Flip Off in February.
In a controversial decision that had several stars storming out, Anstead declared Haack, 41, the episode’s winner, not because he liked her design the best, but because they share a child together —son Hudson, 5— and that meant they were “on the same team forever.”
The call infuriated her opponents: her first husband Tarek El Moussa, 43, and his new wife, Selling Sunset Heather El Moussa, 37, who went on to win the season.
Since the season wrapped, Anstead and Haack are on better terms than ever since their split. Most recently, they had a playful exchange in the comments section of his Instagram.
In a video post, the automotive expert revealed his discovery+ series Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic, in which he buys a 500-year-old U.K. farmhouse to fix up for his parents, had been renewed for season two.
“So you’re not hiring Christina to do the renovation for you?” one cheeky commenter asked the star.
“Well…… after The Flip Off…… she owes me one!!!! X,” he responded.
Haack, who refollowed Anstead on Instagram after her split from third husband Josh Hall, then chimed in, writing simply, “I’m down,” followed by a crying laughing emoji.
The HGTV star making an appearance on her ex’s series isn’t that far fetched. Not just because they’re newly friendly, but because his series is available to stream on discovery+, which has the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, as HGTV.
A crossover would keep things all in the family — which the stars love to do.
Anstead’s appearance on The Flip Off marked a major turning point in their relationship. After the pair’s two-year marriage came to an end in September 2020, they were involved in a heated custody battle over Hudson that was finally settled in December 2022, but weren’t on speaking terms for the next three years. Anstead recently called that period of their co-parenting relationship “shameful”
They only reconciled following her third divorce, Haack revealed on The Flip Off.
“After Josh and I split up, I went over to [Ant’s] house to pick Hudson up because I was taking him to a birthday party,” Christina recalls in the episode. “And when I walked up to the door, he gave me a huge hug. We hadn’t hugged in years.”
The show of support proved to be a turning point.
“He just said ‘I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through and I’m here for you no matter what you need.’ 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.”
Amid their new warm relationship, the pair have both moved on to new romances.
Anstead has been in a nearly four-year relationship with actress Renée Zellweger and Haack went instagram official with a new beau, businessman Christopher Larocca, in February.
Haack has been married a total of three times: first to her Flip or Flop co-star Tarek from 2009 to 2016, then to Ant from 2018 to 2020, and then to Josh from 2021 to 2024. She shares two children with Tarek — Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9 — and no children with Josh.
Anstead was also previously married to his first wife, Louise Storey, for 22 years. They share two children, daughter Amelie, 21, and son Archie, 18.
