Christina Anstead and her husband, Ant Anstead, were apparently having issues navigating life between their blended families before the HGTV starlet announced the couple’s split, according to a new report.
A source told People magazine that the former pair had been struggling since the birth of their baby boy, Hudson London, in September 2019.
“After the baby, they started having conflicts,” the insider claimed to the outlet.
Christina is also mom to daughter, Taylor, 10, and son Brayden, 5. She shares the kids with her “Flip or Flop” co-star, ex-husband Tarek El Moussa. Meanwhile, Ant, a native of the United Kingdom, has a daughter, Amelie, 16, and a son, Archie, 14, from his first marriage to Louise Herbert.
