Christina Haack on How She Got on Better Terms With Ex-Husband Ant Anstead

is sharing how she and ex-husband got back on good terms.

“When and I split up, I hadn’t really talked to Ant in years,” Haack, 41, exclusively shared in her Us Weekly cover story with and. “The whole time I was with Josh, I would worry [thinking about how] Hudson’s sports [games] are coming up, we’re going to have to be on the field together, how’s Josh going to handle it?”

Haack and Anstead, 45, split in September 2020 after welcoming son Hudson one year earlier. She moved on with Hall, whom she wed in 2022, but the pair filed for divorce two years later.

“[After we broke up] I was dropping Hudson off at Ant’s house, and he gave me a big hug and was like, ‘I’m here for you and I’m so sorry you’re going through this,’” Haack recalled to Us. “He said, ‘I feel like Josh is the source of the problem [and why] I couldn’t communicate.’ Now we’re back on track.”

Anstead, meanwhile, has been dating actress since 2021. Haack told Us that she has met the actress, calling her “great” — but said their friendship is different than hers with Heather.

“It’s not like Heather and I, where we spend a lot of time together,” Haack said. “It’s mostly just on the soccer field or at drop-off, but she’s super nice. She loves Hudson, and Hudson loves her. And she and Ant are happy.”
