However, with news of Christina and Josh’s split in July 2024, the show’s format underwent changes, focusing on Christina’s collaboration with her trusted team instead of her ex-husband. Despite Josh’s appearance in the premiere, his involvement in future episodes remains uncertain post his divorce filing in July 2024.
