According to Christna Haack, Josh Hall’s first proposal was a bit of a flop.

The Flip or Flop alum—who finalized her divorce from the realtor back in August after two years of marriage—revealed that she turned down her now-ex-husband when he initially popped the question.

“The first time he proposed I said no, and he threw the ring in the pool,” Christina told People in an interview published Oct. 1. “That was probably red flag number one.”

“I don’t think anyone’s ever heard that story before,” she added. “Sorry. It’s true.”

The 42-year-old, who started dating Josh in February 2021 before getting engaged that August, noted that she just wasn’t ready to commit to him at that moment.

“We weren’t getting along super great even then, off and on,” she recalled. “When things were good, they were good, but it just felt like I wasn’t quite ready and so I just said, ‘This is not the right time.'”

“I don’t remember exactly what I said,” Christina—who is now dating Christopher Larocca—continued, “but he had the patio decorated and he threw it in the pool.”
