The Flip or Flop star filed divorce papers in an Orange County court on Tuesday, TMZ reports.

They welcomed their first child together, son Hudson, in 2019.

Christina announced their separation September 18, saying, ‘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,’ she said. ‘We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.’
Ant on September 26 posted a picture of the pair, implying that the split came at Christina’s request.
‘Anyone who really knows me knows that I don’t like to share private matters publicly,’ he said. ‘I have remained silent while holding on to hope. I never gave up on us. I pray Christina’s decision brings her happiness.’
Christina shares daughter Taylor, 10, and and son Brayden, five, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, while Anstead is father to teen Amelie, 17, and Archie, 14, from this previous marriage to Louise Herbert.
