What Ant Anstead Is Up to Amid Ex Christina Hall's Divorce From Josh Hall

Ant Anstead is putting family first amid ex Christina Hall's divorce update. 

One week before news broke that Josh Hall filed for divorce from the HGTV star, Ant shared a glimpse into the quality time he's been spending with his and Christina's 4-year-old son, Hudson London Anstead, in the U.K.

"Fun times with Fam back in Blighty!!!" the TV personality wrote in a July 4 Instagram post alongside a selfie with the little one. "Hudzo selfie mode."

He added, "Till the next time x."

And while Hudson may have gotten a special shoutout from his dad this month, Ant—who finalized his divorce with Christina in June 2021 after less than two years of marriage—has been packing in the fun with his older kids this summer, too. In June, the Celebrity IOU: Joyride host and his 4-year-old attended a rugby match with daughter Amelie Anstead, 20, and son Archie Anstead, 17—who he shares with ex Louise Anstead. 

"What! A! Game!" Ant wrote on Instagram at the time. "Day at Twickenham, the home of British rugby, for the FINAL!"

But family adventures aren't the only thing Ant has turned his attention to as of late. In fact, the 45-year-old recently shared that he inked a hosting gig on a new automotive show for Discovery Plus.

"The Naked Mechanic….. (I’m naked from the waist down)," Ant wrote in July 8 Instagram, "coming soon to @discoveryplus x."

His cheeky project comes in the midst of news that Christina and Josh have called it quits after two years of marriage. The couple started dating months after her split from the Wheelers Dealers cohost, who has since confirmed his romance with Renée Zellweger. 

And while Ant mostly keeps his relationship with the Oscar winner private, he recently provided rare insight into their life together, sharing a message for a pal who visited their home back in February.

"Ren and I loved having you over," Ant wrote in a Feb. 27 Instagram Story. "Now hurry up and come back to Cali!"
