We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. 

Adding: “We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.”

The divorce was really difficult for Anstead, who dished to People about their split, saying: “It really hit me hard. 

The impact on me, my sleep, my diet, my stress, it showed. 

“But I reached this turning point where I was either going to dwell in the darkness or I was just going to slap myself around the face a few times and say, ‘Wake up; you’re incredibly blessed. 

Adding: “Focus on all the great things.’”

Does Christina Haack have a child with Ant Anstead?

Haack and Anstead share a son, Hudson London Anstead, born in 2019.

Amid her divorce to Anstead, Haack reflected on a lengthy Instagram post about having children with different baby daddies, writing: “I never thought I would have one divorce let alone two. 

“I never thought I would have 2 baby daddies – but sometimes life throws us curveballs, adding that “instead of getting stuck in these ‘setbacks’ I choose to look at these challenges as opportunities to grow.”

She continued: “So while some may judge me and throw around rumors about me, most of you support me. And that says a lot about this world and where we are headed.

Adding: “I’m messy, I’m real and I’m working on healing. I’m surrounded by extremely powerful women who help me cope, build me up and push me to be better.”

Similarly to Haack, Anstead also has two children, Amelie, and Archie Anstead with ex-wife Louise Herbert. 


Through Haack and Anstead’s split, the father-of-three said that their son Hudson has helped him deal with the pain of his divorce.

“This process without him would’ve been incredibly difficult,” Anstead said. 

“He’s filled my heart. He really saved me.”
