Christina Hall, renowned for her role on HGTV’s Flip or Flop, shares a beautiful family story that spans two marriages and the blending of hearts. The proud mom embraces the joys of motherhood with her three children: Taylor, Brayden, and Hudson.
Taylor and Brayden El Moussa, born in 2010 and 2015 respectively, are the offspring of Christina’s first marriage to Tarek El Moussa. The couple, who were not only life partners but also co-stars on Flip or Flop, shared their journey in home renovation until their marriage concluded in 2018.
In the subsequent chapter of her life, Christina found love again with British TV host Ant Anstead. The union resulted in the arrival of Hudson Anstead in 2019. Unfortunately, Christina’s marriage with Ant concluded in 2021, marking another transition in her family dynamics.
However, love wasn’t done writing Christina’s story. In 2022, she walked down the aisle with realtor Joshua Hall, adding a new layer to her family narrative. Joshua stepped into the role of a proud stepfather, offering support and love to Taylor, Brayden, and Hudson. In a heartfelt interview with PEOPLE in January 2023, Christina expressed her gratitude for Joshua’s positive influence on her children.
“It just feels nice to have that family unit be settled,” she shared. “That’s all that Hudson will ever know, is Josh as his stepdad. [Hudson] will never have different memories as far as Josh and I being together, and pretty much Brayden as well.”
As Christina continues her journey with Joshua, their love story underscores the resilience of blended families and the importance of a stable and supportive environment for her children. This is the evolving tale of Christina Hall’s beautiful family, where love knows no boundaries, and the bonds created are cherished above all else.
Taylor Reese El Moussa
Christina and Tarek’s eldest daughter, Taylor Reese El Moussa, graced the world on September 22, 2010, a few years prior to the debut of their television show, Flip or Flop. Christina has often marveled at how her design and television skills have seemingly influenced her daughter.
In an interview with E! News in January 2023, Christina expressed her amazement at Taylor’s natural flair for design and ease in front of the camera. Despite Taylor’s apparent talents, Christina emphasized her desire for her daughter to delay pursuing such paths, preferring her to enjoy a normal childhood.
While Taylor occasionally makes appearances on Christina’s show, Christina on the Coast, the spotlight is intentionally kept minimal. The filming sessions are limited to about an hour per month, ensuring that Taylor and her siblings can prioritize a typical childhood and, eventually, pursue their own interests at their own pace.
Beyond the screen, Christina frequently shares glimpses of her life with Taylor on social media. In May 2023, she posted an Instagram photo with her kids, revealing that Taylor had offered her some style advice, showcasing the strong mother-daughter bond.
Not only does Christina seek fashion tips from Taylor, but she also draws design inspiration from her. In December 2022, Christina showcased Taylor’s bedroom makeover, featuring white chevron walls, a swinging chair, and a fluffy white rug—reflecting Taylor’s unique preferences.
The admiration between mother and daughter is reciprocal. During a family pizza night in their newly renovated kitchen on an episode of Christina on the Coast, Taylor complimented her mom, stating, “You are a pretty good designer.”
As Taylor reached the milestone age of 13 in September 2023, Christina took to Instagram to express her gratitude for her daughter, sharing a heartfelt video montage of Taylor through the years. In her caption, Christina wrote, “Being your mom is the biggest blessing. My beautiful, feisty, funny, smart, creative, old soul. I love you beyond words.” This poignant post is a testament to the deep and loving connection between Christina and her cherished daughter, Taylor.
Brayden James El Moussa
Christina and Tarek’s second bundle of joy, Brayden James El Moussa, entered the world on August 20, 2015. Christina, beaming with maternal pride, shared her delight with PEOPLE the following month, describing Brayden as “absolutely perfect” and a sweet, cuddly baby. She recounted how, even at two weeks old, Brayden exhibited a heart-melting sideways grin that captured her affection.
After a two-year journey of trying to conceive, Christina and Tarek were overjoyed to become a family of four, with Taylor relishing her role as a big sister, particularly enjoying reading bedtime stories to her baby brother.
As Brayden grew, so did his interests, with football emerging as a notable passion. In November 2022, Christina shared her pride in Brayden’s achievements on the field, posting footage from one of his games on Instagram and expressing her excitement for the upcoming playoffs.
Celebrating Brayden’s eighth birthday in August 2023, Christina penned endearing words about her son’s affectionate nature, describing his hugs as heart-melting and noting how his smile and humor brighten their home. She expressed profound love for Brayden, emphasizing the positive impact he has on their lives.
The camaraderie between Brayden and his younger brother, Hudson, is evident in the harmonious relationship they share. In October of the same year, Christina delighted fans with a photo on her Instagram Story, capturing the brothers and their dog Stella taking a nap together. The image portrayed a heartwarming scene of familial connection.
Despite his young age, Christina sees potential in Brayden’s future involvement in the family business. In an Instagram Story, she showcased Brayden actively participating in one of her renovation projects, affectionately referring to him as her “sweet little helper.” Noting his exposure to numerous houses and his creative ideas for renovations, Christina mused about the possibility of Brayden becoming a builder or architect, adding another layer to the evolving story of the El Moussa family.
Hudson London Anstead
Christina’s youngest, Hudson, entered the world on September 6, 2019, the delightful result of her union with second husband, Ant Anstead. The joyous announcement made its way to Instagram, with Christina expressing her and Ant’s excitement over welcoming Hudson London Anstead into their lives.
As Hudson grew, glimpses of his vibrant personality emerged, especially on the occasion of his Paw Patrol-themed 3rd birthday party. Christina shared on social media that Hudson possesses a super witty and sarcastic sense of humor, impressing everyone with his communication skills. She fondly described the joy brought by their laughter and cuddles, highlighting how Hudson illuminates their home and lives.
Notably, Hudson played a significant role in Christina’s journey with her third husband, Joshua. In September 2022, Christina opened up about the touching moment when Brayden and Hudson walked her down the aisle during her wedding to Joshua.
Both Christina and Ant took to Instagram to share heartwarming pictures of Hudson. Christina’s post affectionately described Hudson as sweet, smart, and funny, emphasizing his attentive nature and eagerness to learn. She also highlighted his love for helping and collaborating on projects with Joshua, adding another layer to the dynamic personality of this youngest member of the family.
