A timeline of Christina Hall's whirlwind relationship with Ant Anstead, from their brief marriage to a custody battle

In December 2016, Hall, 38, and Tarek El Moussa, 40, her then-husband and "Flip or Flop" co-star, announced they were separating. Hall and El Moussa had two children together during their marriage, Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 6.

Eight months later, a mutual friend introduced Hall to "Celebrity IOU: Joyride" star Ant Anstead, as House Beautiful reported. Anstead, 43, had two children from a previous marriage, just like Hall.

They initially kept their relationship private, and they only revealed they started dating in October on their one-year anniversary.

After dating privately for three months, Hall and Anstead shared they were dating through an Instagram post.

Hall posted a now-deleted photo of the pair biking together, congratulating him on the new season of "Wheelers and Dealers" in the caption, as People reported.

Hall and El Moussa's divorce was finalized later the same month.

Hall and Anstead got married at their home in Newport Beach, California.

They didn't make their engagement public before saying "I do," but Anstead said he and Hall were "celebrating something special" in the caption of a photo he posted of Hall on December 17, according to People.

"We pulled off the perfect surprise wedding," Hall told People of the nuptials at the time.

Hall and Anstead shared that they were pregnant in a now-deleted Instagram post.

"The kids are all so excited to meet their new sibling," Hall captioned the post.

Hall's ex accidentally shared that Hall and Anstead were having a son on TMZ Live.

A representative for Hall and Anstead then confirmed the news to People in a statement.

"While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall," they said.

Hall took to Instagram in another now-deleted post to share that she had given birth to her third child.

"Ant and I are so excited to welcome Hudson London Anstead into the world. Our hearts are SO full of love and joy," she captioned the post at the time.

Hall also documented Taylor and Brayden meeting their brother for the first time in her docuseries, "Christina on the Coast."

Anstead told People that he and Hall weren't struggling to share custody of Hudson at the time.

"There's never been a scenario where I've asked for him and not had him and vice versa," he told People.

A representative for Hall confirmed the marriage was officially over to USA Today.

Hall had already started dating real-estate agent Josh Hall by the time the divorce was finalized, and Anstead started dating Renée Zellweger in June 2021, according to Vanity Fair.

Hall went on to marry Josh in April 2022.

In his court filing, Anstead said he was Hudson's "primary parent," saying Hall only spends an average of "9 full days each month" with their son each month, according to People.

TMZ also reported that Anstead said in the court documents that Hall had put Hudson in "dangerous" situations, including a sunburn so severe it made him cry.

On another occasion, Anstead said Hall returned Hudson to him without telling him her family had COVID. "At the time my partner was filming her new project and her covid diagnosis placed the whole production on pause," he said in the filing according to TMZ, referring to Zellweger.

The filing went on to say that Hall uses her time with Hudson to post him on social media, sometimes for sponsored content, as People reported. Anstead requested a judge block Hall from posting Hudson in any "commercial endeavor" until they reach a new custody agreement, according to the outlet.

People reported that Anstead was requesting a "regular" custody schedule that would give Hall visitation rights on "alternating weekends, Friday at 4:00 p.m. until Sunday at 6:00 p.m. commencing May 6, 2022, in California only, and except for vacations."

"This will allow Christina's time to be stepped-up over the next several months to match the schedule she has with her other children," the filing said, according to People.

Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by Insider.

"What Ant is doing deeply saddens me," Hall said. "If this was really about Hudson, as he says, this should have been handled privately with a private judge or mediation, as myself and my attorney have suggested."

"I have had my share of ups and downs, but I am a good mom and I love my children with all my heart and I will always protect them," she went on to say.

She also posted a Jill Blakeway quote on Instagram on Thursday that seemed pointed at Anstead.

A judge denied Anstead's ex parte custody application on Thursday both because he did not give Hall enough notice and he did not provide sufficient evidence that Hudson was in danger, according to People.

The judge's ruling states there will be a hearing on June 28 to determine whether or not Anstead's custody request should be granted, as People reported.

Representatives for Anstead did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Hall declined to comment on the judge's decision.
