Christina Haack Shares Update on Removal of Ring Finger Tattoo Josh Hall

Christina Haack is one step closer to erasing Josh Hall permanently.

The Christina on the Coast star, 41, revealed on her Instagram Stories that she is almost done removing the tattoo on her left ring finger Haack got the tattoo in November 2021, she previously revealed, the month after she secretly tied the knot with Hall, 44. (The actual date of their nuptials was only revealed in their divorce documents. They shared the news they were married publicly the following April.)

The designer shared an update on the tattoo’s erasure with a photo posted on her Instagram Stories, in which she could be seen holding her hand out as a doctor worked on it. She covered the bottom of her ring finger, where the tattoo is located, with a needle emoji. It appeared to be red from the laser treatment.

“Round 4 of tattoo removal,” she wrote over the picture alongside a checkmark emoji. 

Getting the ink undone has been a months-long process for Haack, who previously shared an update on the tattoo removal in August, a month after Hall filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”

“Thank you to my friends @jonathanzelkenmd for always taking care of me,” Christina wrote over the video of the laser removal process at the time.

Hall requested spousal support from the HGTV star in his July 15 filing. However, she responded with her own legal filing a week later, asking that neither be allowed to ask for spousal support. In October, he made a rare public statement to deny that his request was for $65,000 per month.

The couple, who had been married for under three years, were set to star on a new HGTV series The Flip Off alongside Haack’s ex Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa. However, following the news of their split, Hall seemingly departed the show. HGTV has yet to make a statement about his involvement but Haack has since returned to filming without him.

She recently revealed his exit from the series was a relief to her.

“When someone is insecure by you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,” Haack told ET. “I feel like I was not shining as bright, to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that?”

“It was not fun, to be honest,” she added. “I did not enjoy filming with him, so having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way.”

She also noted that the pair had been having marital issues “for at least a year,” or at least “probably 18 months.”
