Christina Anstead goes back to her roots.
The “Christina on the Coast” star, who is 37, made a subtle switch on Instagram and returned to her maiden name Christina Haack amid her divorce from Ant Anstead.
However, the handle for the HGTV star’s account still bears that of her estranged second husband.
Christina’s personal life has undergone many changes since September, when she first announced on social media platform that she and Anstead had made the ‘difficult decision’ to end their marriage.

Earlier this month, the ‘Flip or Flop’ co-host unveiled a new Maya Angelou-inspired tattoo that reads ‘Still I Rise’ in black italics in the middle of her back. She also showed a beautiful addition to her family: a new Rottweiler puppy. Ant, meanwhile, is outspoken about the split, and recently revealed that a split was not what he wanted.
“I think everyone knows it was not my decision,” Ant told People magazine earlier. “It hit me really hard.”
Christina has meanwhile “done well” while navigating the rift, her first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, said this month. The ex still serves as co-presenter of their hit HGTV show “Flip or Flop”.
It appears Christina and Tarek have mastered their two children, daughter Taylor (10), and son Brayden (5) along with their parents. She and Ant also share time with their 16-month-old son Hudson. Over the weekend, Christina shared a selfie with little Hudson in a hot tub.

Just before the new year, Christina announced that she will be taking a step back from Instagram to “be up” with her loved ones during the holidays.
She was also hit with criticism shortly before when trolls claimed on social media that she was an ‘absent mother’.

“When I said ‘you have to be an absent mother because you are not with your children’ – smh (shakes my head),” Christina responded at the time. “Wake people up. I hardly post anymore … and I do not want to post my kids every freaking day, to make a match of who is a better parent.
Christina argues that the lack of photographic evidence of her time with her children does not justify the accusations she receives.

“It means the opposite – I’m with them – I’m present,” she said. “So stop being ashamed of parents, stop taking sides if there is no side to choose. My point is: if you see things here, take it all with a grain of salt. There are a lot of filters and fakes. smiles. I ‘we’m guilty of it too. We all struggle – some of us are just better at’ masking ‘it. “
Christina and Ant started dating in 2017 and got married one year later during a ceremony in Newport Beach, California.
