Christina Haack’s recent PEOPLE cover piece has sparked a fresh round of social-media back-and-forth with her ex-husband Josh Hall, after he appeared to answer the interview with a pointed Instagram Stories post. The digital exchange adds another chapter to a split that has unfolded publicly and pulled in vivid memories from their relationship.
How the Instagram response played out
On Oct. 1, Hall posted an image on his Instagram Stories that featured a short aphorism about dishonesty. The visual read, “Never argue with liars. You can’t win, because they believe their own lies.”
Users noticed he paired the quote with music: Chuck Brodsky’s “Liar Liar, Pants on Fire” played in the background. The combination read as a deliberate reaction to the PEOPLE article.
What Christina Haack told PEOPLE and Page Six
In the PEOPLE cover story, Haack shared details about her engagement and marriage that drew attention. She said she refused Hall’s first proposal and then watched him toss the ring into a pool at her former Dana Point home.
“The first time he proposed I said no, and he threw the ring in the pool,” she told the magazine, calling that moment an early warning sign.
Her broader reaction to Hall’s posts
Haack told Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea she largely ignores his social posts now. She defended her own honesty, saying she doesn’t fabricate stories and suggested that someone who dislikes attention should avoid a public account.
About Hall using inspirational quotes as responses, she observed, “For someone that claims to be so masculine, maybe that’s not so masculine.”
Hall’s camp and mixed accounts
A representative for Josh Hall pushed back on parts of Haack’s recollection. In a statement to PEOPLE, his spokesperson said Josh had “no clue what Christina is talking about,” directly contesting the pool story and other claims.
Key moments in their relationship and split
- They married in 2021 after a relatively quick courtship.
- In July 2024, Hall filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”
- By August 2024, Hall announced the divorce had been finalized.
Public reactions and what comes next
The back-and-forth underscores how couples who once shared private moments can continue sparring in public. Social feeds, interviews, and short-form posts have become the arena for rebuttals and clarifications.
Both parties have moved on romantically in the months since. Haack recently marked a one-year anniversary with Chris Larocca, CEO of Network Connex. Hall has been linked to model Stephanie Gabrys.
