It was also the setting for the former couple’s surprise “winter wonderland” backyard wedding in December 2018.
“I mean, I did an awful lot in that house, and it’s a big home for somebody on their own,” Anstead continues. “It was a home that we got together, renovated together. And I physically did a lot of hands-on work on it. I mean, the stairs, the wine rack, the light fixtures above the bed, the ‘love’ sign … all those personal touches I did.”

The automotive expert,who purchased a home of his own in Laguna Beachin May, adds that all the personalization he did on the house likely had an impact on Haack’s decision to sell.
“Anyone can go and buy something, but to have it made is different,” he says. “So I imagine, for Christina’s world, she needed to have that fresh start. Because she would’ve been living in a surrounding of reminders.”
Haackannounced that she and Anstead were separatingon Instagram in September 2020, just a year after they welcomed son Hudson.
