Christina Haack has taken yet another brutal public swipe at her estranged husband Josh Hall, branding a “narcissist” in a furious online rant shared just days after it was revealed she’s found love with a new man.
The reality TV star, 41, is understood to have moved on from her beleaguered romance with Hall after finding a new connection with a man 10 years her senior.
The news about her latest beau emerged just as Hall, 44, went public with his new girlfriend, who is the spitting image of Haack.
Meanwhile, Haack and Hall appear to have plenty of time to engage in some very public mudslinging.
According to Realtor, the latest bout between the pair saw Haack blasting her ex in an Instagram Stories post, after he accused her of being “obsessed” with him.
Hall made the allegation in a statement issued to Us Weekly via his spokesperson in response to an interview that Haack did with podcast host Jeff Lewis.

During an appearance on the show “Jeff Lewis Has Issues,” the mother of three railed against her third husband, while revealing that the pair will likely be “going to trial” to settle their divorce battle.
Following her interview, Hall’s spokesperson shared a comment on his behalf, quoting a Mariah Carey song.
“It’s sad Christina must resort to low bow about her ex Josh to promote her new show,” it read in part.
“She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, ‘Why you so obsessed with me?’ We wish Christina the best.
“Christina knows nothing about Josh’s life, and it’s sad she keeps speculation. Her accusations are baseless.”
Sharing a screenshot of the statement on her Instagram account, Haack vented her fury about the comment.
“I just threw up in my mouth. Quoting a Mariah Carey song is a new low … even for you,” she wrote.
“Trust me idgaf about Josh’s life. I do however care about his bts tactics. Narcissism at its finest,” she added.

Despite sharing a screenshot of the statement in which her new relationship is mentioned, Haack has yet to comment on her rumoured new romance, despite the so-called partnering making headlines across the U.S. after it was revealed.
The Daily Mail first claimed that Haack is involved in a romance with the 52-year-old Network Connex CEO, Christopher Larocca, with insiders alleging that the pair have been seeing each other for several months.
The news came six months after Hall filed for divorce from “The Flip Off” star — with the duo then launching themselves into a fierce squabble that previously saw Haack accusing her ex of reducing her to tears while they were filming episodes of their upcoming HGTV series.
However, insiders claimed — despite her ongoing feud with Hall — Haack is blissfully happy with her new beau, with a source saying that the pair are regularly seen together “out and about” near the $US12 million ($A18.5 million) mansion in Newport Beach, California, mansion she once shared with her third husband.
“They even have travelled abroad and visited other countries together,” the unnamed insider alleged, adding that they are “surprised” that news of the romance has yet to be revealed, given that Haack and Larocca are making no attempts to “hide” it.
It’s unclear whether the duo have met each other’s families yet. However, Haack previously revealed that her three kids — Taylor, 14, Brayden, 9, and Hudson, 5 — played a key role in her decision to end things with Hall.
Haack told former husband-turned-HGTV co-star Tarek El Moussa that her children begged her to leave Hall when they realised how toxic the marriage had become.
Meanwhile, Larocca shares a 17-year-old daughter with his ex-wife, to whom he was married for eight years.

If news of Haack’s romance with Larocca came as a surprise to Hall, he has not allowed it to show in public, instead flaunting his own burgeoning relationship, with model Stephanie Gabrys.
According to People magazine, Hall met Gabrys in Nashville and, while the outlet’s source says that Hall “wasn’t trying to date” at the time, he and his new partner have been “happily dating” ever since.
One week before news of her new relationship was made public, Haack shared an emotional image of herself breaking down in tears after filming scenes for “The Flip Off,” while slamming Hall for suggesting the show had “manufactured” drama between the two of them.
The reality TV star’s latest rant against Hall began after he shared a screenshot of a Fox News story about a teaser clip from “The Flip Off,” which was filmed before the couple separated, in which he is seen berating Haack and calling her “rude.”
She followed that up with her sobbing selfie: “This was taken June 21, 2024. After one of my shoots with Josh,” she wrote. “This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”
Haack did not reveal what aspect of the shoot had led to her tearful breakdown.

It came days after HGTV released a preview clip to promote “The Flip Off,” which was originally meant to feature Haack and Hall going head-to-head in a renovation battle against Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.
In the clip, Hall loses his cool at Haack while the pair were driving to check out one of their home-flipping projects, after he attempted to get her into the competitive spirit.
In the wake of their break-up, Haack continued filming “The Flip Off” without him, and HGTV removed Hall from all promotional materials for the show.
The network teased the mother-of-three will be “on her own” in the series after Hall’s departure, but will turn to her “trusted team” for help.

Since Haack and Hall announced they were splitting over the summer, their divorce proceedings have gone from bad to worse.
Toward the end of 2024, Hall tried to block Haack from selling her $US4.5 million ($A6.9 million) farmhouse in Tennessee, where he had been living since moving out of their shared mansion in Newport Beach.
In court documents filed by Hall’s lawyers as part of a temporary emergency order to try to halt the sale of the home, he claimed that, while Haack bought the house before they married, the “paydown of the mortgage during marriage” entitles him to a say in what becomes of the dwelling.
“The community maintains an appreciation interest due to the paydown of the mortgage during marriage,” he writes.
“A premature sale may result in prejudice to me as property values continue to rise in Tennessee, which continues to grow in population.”
He further claimed that Haack had asked for his “written agreement” to sell the home on September 23 but insisted that he refused.
However, while the home was temporarily taken off the market, it has since been relisted with the same asking price.
