Cristina Haack It is Josh’s SalonThe breakup wasn’t just a surprise to fans… it turns out the real estate agent was also caught off guard by his new single status.
Sources close to Josh tell TMZ … he knew there were ups and downs in their marriage, but he never imagined his relationship with Christina would end this way. We’re told Josh was seriously committed to Christina … as his social, professional and romantic lives revolved around her.
Josh was also devoted to Christina’s children — Taylor, Brayden It is Hudson — from previous relationships.
According to sources, Josh feels like he’s lost his entire world, especially since he loved Christina and their life together so much. Josh feels like they’ve grown together as a couple…as they’ve been able to buy their dream home in Newport Beach and pursue several TV projects.
Long story short… we’re told he’s very sad because Christina decided to end the marriage.
Our sources say she stopped talking to him after a falling out and would only speak to him through a lawyer. Josh also hired a lawyer when he realized where the marriage was headed.
We’re told he’s been spending time in Nashville lately, where he’s been hitting the gym and regularly attending church — and despite the marital shock, he’s staying positive and wishes only the best for Christina and their kids.
As TMZ previously reported … Christina and Josh announced their split when he filed for divorce in early July. Josh cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakup, noting the date of separation as July 8.
The couple had been married for almost 3 years. Christina was previously married to Ant Anstead and co-star of “Flip or Flop” Tarek El Moussa.
It seems the third time wasn’t the charm for Christina.
