Christina Hall says ex Ant Anstead's choice to file for full custody of their 2-year-old 'deeply saddens' her

• Ant Anstead filed for full custody of his and Christina Hall's 2-year-old son on Thursday.
• Hall said "what Ant is doing deeply saddens me" and that she is a "good mom" to Insider.

Ant Anstead filed for an emergency motion for sole custody of his and Christina Hall's 2-year-old son Hudson on Thursday. A California judge denied the motion later the same day, scheduling a hearing for June 28, according to People.

Anstead, who hosts "Celebrity IOU Joyride," is seeking sole physical custody of their son, according to People.

A representative for Anstead declined to comment when contacted by Insider.

The pair currently split custody, with Anstead telling People in September that "there's never been a scenario where I've asked for him and not had him and vice versa" when discussing who had custody of Hudson.

But according to court documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday, Anstead said Hall only spends an average of "9 full days each month" with their son and that she uses the time she does spend with him to post him on social media, sometimes for sponsored content. Anstead is asking a judge to prevent Hall from posting Hudson in any "commercial endeavor" until they reach an agreement, according to the outlet.

Anstead also said that Hall is putting Hudson in physical danger, according to TMZ, saying that Hall once returned Hudson to him with a sunburn that was so painful it made him cry.

According to the outlet, Anstead also said in the custody filing that on another occasion, 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 his girlfriend Renée Zellweger.

A California judge denied Anstead's request on Thursday, saying he did not provide sufficient evidence that Hudson was in danger in Hall's care and that he did not give Hall enough notice about the case, according to People. He scheduled a hearing for June 28 where they can both present their cases regarding Anstead's request.

Hall spoke out against Anstead's decision to file for sole custody in a statement to 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.

Hall shares custody of her two older children, Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 6, with her first husband Tarek El Moussa, who she co-hosted "Flip or Flop" with.

Hall also shared an Instagram post with a quote from Jill Blakeway on Thursday that seemed pointed at Anstead.

"When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you," the quote read. "The misinformation will feel unfair, but you stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth just like you did."

Hall and Anstead tied the knot in 2018, and they welcomed Hudson in September 2019.

They announced they were separating just a year later in September 2020.

"Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority," Hall said in the statement to People at the time. "We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future."

Anstead also posted about the separation on his Instagram, seeming to indicate it was Hall's decision to end the marriage.

"Anyone who really knows me knows that I don't like to share private matters publicly. I have remained silent while holding on to hope," he captioned a selfie of the pair. "I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness."

Hall has since married Josh Hall.
