Christina Haack and Ant Anstead have come a long way in their relationship. The former couple tied the knot in December 2018 and divorced in June 2021, welcoming son Hudson, six, in that time, however their eventual split quickly grew contentious as they were embroiled in a lengthy custody battle. Since then, the HGTV star has married and divorced Josh Hall, and following their own also contentious split, she and the English TV presenter, who is in a relationship with Oscar-winner Renée Zellweger, have grown to be on much friendlier terms.
Their repaired relationship took center stage over the weekend, when Ant took to Instagram and shared a round of photos of their son Hudson's golden birthday (turning sixth on the sixth of September), starting off with one of him with the birthday boy hoisted on his hip, and Christina next to him.
More photos of the festivities included of the kids swarming the contents of a piñata, Hudson scarfing down some cake, as well as a video of Christina's son with Tarek El Moussa, Brayden, ten, taking a stab at the piñata, followed by a snap of Christina herself doing the same.

Ant then wrote in his caption, adding: "Weekend celebrating our miracle boy with a CHAOS filled party we all gone need a lay down. Hudzo we love you," and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it.

Celebrating together will mean everything to him later," and: "It's perfect for Hudson that his parents can both be there for him, that's the best gift of all for him. Happy birthday beautiful boy!" as well as: "Great to see everyone there."

The show's original premise followed Christina and her estranged husband as they compete against Tarek and Heather to see who can "find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain."
And though Christina's other HGTV show, Christina on the Coast, was recently not renewed amid a wave of seemingly abrupt cancellations at the network, The Flip Off was renewed for a second season last month.

Basically just eating and laughing. Canceled looks good on me…. Only kidding only kidding."
