Josh Hall took to Instagram on Friday to make his first public statement amid his divorce from Christina Hall.
The 43-year-old real estate entrepreneur — who denies declining a seven-figure settlement from Hall, 41 — shared a selfie resting his head on his dog in a solemn post.
He wrote in the caption: ‘I prefer privacy, especially during something as life changing as a divorce I did not ask for.’
Without naming Christina, he vowed, ‘I will not publicly badmouth anyone as people have families, friends and others who respect and love them. Unfortunately the internet is forever.’
Engaging his 92.3K followers, Hall continued: ‘We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters. Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.’

Christina and Josh both filed for divorce, with the former listing their date of separation as July 7 while the latter wrote July 8.
A source told Us Weekly this weekend that the soon-to-be exes ‘haven’t even started negotiations’ in their divorce proceedings.
The couple tied the knot in 2022 and did not sign a prenup.
Josh is seeking a 50/50 division of assets, meanwhile, in a July social media statement Christina stated that she does not intend to split her personal assets equally.
In an Instagram story, she declared: ‘I have worked my a** off to build this life for myself and my children and anyone who would try and take what they do not deserve / what they did NOT work for should be ashamed.’
The message continued, ‘An insecure man with a large ego can sure try to derail you — but ‘still I rise.’’
After Josh shared a message about ‘hope’ on his Instagram Stories, Christina took a screenshot of the picture and added her response.
‘I “HOPE” she pays me millions more than what she’s already offered me,’ she wrote in an aggressive swipe at her ex.

In a March Instagram post, Josh wrote that he and Christina were ‘still going strong…’
Weeks after the back-to-back divorce filings, Christina accused her estranged husband of transferring $35,000 of her money into his bank account.
Per legal documents obtained by ET, the HGTV personality claimed, ‘Josh was able to divert over $35,000 of my separate property rental income into his account.’
She went on to say in the court paperwork, ‘I am asking for Josh to account for the funds taken and return them to me as those funds are specifically used to pay any loans, obligations, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance for these rental properties.’
Christina was previously married to Tarek El Moussa and they share daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, eight.
She was briefly married to Ant Anstead and they share a four-year-old son Hudson.
