Ant Anstead playfully hints at potential issues with how his ex-wife, Christina Haack, is raising their son, Hudson. The former celebrity couple, who were married from 2018 to 2020, share a five-year-old son named Hudson London. Anstead made a light-hearted comment during his appearance as a guest judge on episode 4 of HGTV’s “The Flip Off,” where he jokingly requested tea upon his arrival at Haack’s home in Newport Beach, California. The absence of tea in the household led Anstead to quip, “You’re raising a British boy. If you don’t have tea, there’s problems.”

Haack and Anstead currently co-parent Hudson, with the young boy splitting his time between his mother’s residence and Anstead’s home in Laguna Beach, where he resides with his girlfriend, Renée Zellweger. The amicable co-parenting dynamic between Haack and Anstead is a significant departure from their tumultuous past. The couple went through a bitter custody battle following their divorce, but in a surprising turn of events, Anstead extended his support to Haack after her split from her third husband in July 2024.
The heartwarming gesture from Anstead, where he offered comfort and reassurance to Haack during a challenging time, marked a turning point in their relationship. Haack mentioned how Anstead’s supportive approach led them to set aside their differences and focus on being good co-parents for Hudson. This positive shift in their co-parenting dynamic has been welcomed by those close to the family, including Haack’s first husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather El Moussa.
The unexpected camaraderie between Haack and Anstead took both Tarek and Heather by surprise when they learned that Anstead would be appearing as a guest judge on the show. Despite the initial shock, the growing bond between Haack and Anstead has been evident on set, with Tarek recalling their newfound friendship. The couple’s journey from acrimony to cooperation has been a pleasant development, not just for themselves but also for their children.
Ahead of the show’s premiere, Haack’s former partner in the competition was supposed to be her third husband, Josh Hall. However, following their split, Haack joked about Anstead potentially taking Hall’s place on the show. The light-hearted banter between Haack and Anstead has been a refreshing change, showcasing a harmonious co-parenting relationship that prioritizes the well-being of their son, Hudson.
As the former couple navigates their evolving dynamic on and off-screen, fans and viewers are witnessing a heartening transformation in their relationship. The willingness to let go of past grievances and focus on creating a positive environment for their son reflects their commitment to effective co-parenting. With each interaction and shared moment, Haack and Anstead are setting a compassionate example of putting family first and working together for the sake of their child.
