Josh Hall’s Role Revealed: Christina Hall’s Ex-Husband Blocks Sale of $4.5 Million Tennessee Home

Josh Hall is taking steps to stop his estranged wife, Christina Hall, from selling their Tennessee home in Leiper’s Fork, where he currently resides. The HGTV personality recently announced on her Instagram Stories on October 3, that she had put the property on the market for $4.5 million.

Christina purchased the residence back in February 2021, well before meeting Josh, making her the sole owner. She had previously shared with People in 2023 that both she and Josh had intended to retire at this serene country retreat. After their separation, Christina allowed Josh to continue living in the house as long as it wasn’t being rented out.

Currently, Josh Hall is still living in the property, and in a document filed with the court on October 9, he is requesting to block or delay its sale. Although Christina holds the title, he argues that he has an “appreciation interest”due to his contributions to the mortgage payments throughout their marriage.

Christina and Josh tied the knot in 2022, but their marriage hit a rough patch. Josh filed for divorce in July 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences”as the reason for their breakup. He is a licensed realtor operating out of Austin, having relocated from California in 2017. Additionally, he is related to Stacie Adams from The Hills and Jessica Hall, a former Playboy model and the host of MTV’s Burned reality series.

The Ongoing Legal Battle Over Christina Hall’s Tennessee Home Sale

The ex-couple is currently engaged in a legal back-and-forth regarding Christina Hall’s plans to sell her home in Tennessee, where Josh resides. In his filing from October 9, he referenced a temporary agreement reached in September which allows him to stay in the house when it’s not occupied by renters. Josh mentioned that he has been staying with family when the house was in use. He expressed concern that if the sale proceeds, his “living expenses will undoubtedly increase.”

In response, Christina submitted her own filing the next day, asserting that she provided Josh with “proper and timely notice”before listing the property. She contended that his primary residence is with his mother and that he only uses the Tennessee property as a “vacation home.”

Christina has also hinted at her ex-husband engaging in questionable financial practices on the day she informed him of her intent to divorce. Following Josh’s divorce filing in July, Christina alleged through an ex parte filing that he reached out to her property manager, requesting a change in the bank account for rental payments related to her properties. She claimed he redirected these payments to his own account, stating:

“The day [July 8] I communicated to Josh that I would be filing for dissolution, Josh contacted my professional property manager via text and stated, ‘Hi. For June payments, can we please get it sent to a different account when it’s time? Thank you.’

She further alleged that in June, her ex managed to divert over $35,000 of her rental income into his account. Contrarily, Josh claimed the funds were for covering expenses, asserting that he managed all related bills. According to their September legal agreement, he is required to return the sum.
