Christina Haack confirmed that Christina in the Country will not be returning for a third season. Less than one month after the Season 2 finale in December 2024, the HGTV star revealed that her renovation show set in Tennessee would be ending.
“That’s over. That was two seasons,” Haack said on the January 10, episode of SiriusXM’s The Jeff Lewis Show. Christina in the Country premiered in 2023 with six episodes, followed by six more during Season 2 in the fall of 2024. The series featured the interior designer putting down roots on a farm in Tennessee with then-husband Josh Hall while expanding her design business to a new part of the country.
Haack also confirmed that she was moving forward with the sale of her Tennessee home, despite Hall previously taking legal action to try and block her from selling it since he was still living there after filing for divorce in July 2024.
“I’m selling that one. I just don’t want it anymore,” Haack said. “It’s too hard to go back and forth.” She has instead returned to her primary residence in California.
Haack bought the Tennessee farm, which sits on 23 acres just outside of Nashville, in 2021. At the time, she was in the midst of her divorce from second husband Ant Anstead. The reality star met Hall in Nashville and they privately married in October 2021. He filed for divorce less than three years later, although they had already filmed Season 2 of Christina in the Country at the time.
The estranged couple also filmed scenes together for Haack’s new show The Flip Off, which premieres on January 29. The series features Haack and Hall competing against her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his now-wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, in house flipping competitions. A recently released sneak peek for the show confirmed that fans will see the demise of Haack and Hall’s relationship when the show airs.
“Josh and I officially split up,” the mom of three said in one preview after confirming to El Moussa that she was not doing well.

The preview led to a social media war between Haack and Hall after he posted about it on his Instagram Story. “TFW you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity [home] designers, so you rely on manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” he wrote. “@hgtv you’ve changed.” Haack responded on her own Story, adding, “Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me….. That was all natural.”
She also posted a selfie of herself crying while filming a scene from the HGTV series. “This was taken June 21, 2024,” she explained. “After one of my shoots with Josh. This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”

Steelers are growing concerned over Aaron Rodgers' alarming performance
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot to work on after the first couple of weeks of training camp have concluded and they prepare for a preseason game. The offense has not played well throughout these early practices. Even though they have to go against the highest-paid defense every day, it's not a good sign when the third-team offense has consistently been the most exciting and inspiring unit on that side of the ball. There are lots of things that need to be fixed before Week 1 kicks off — or else it will be a long season. As usual, these problems start with the quarterback position. Insider Mike DeFabo reported on a big problem that Aaron Rodgers has had with his receiving core. "While Rodgers’ quick release has married well with DK Metcalf’s ability to win on slants, the QB hasn’t been able to unlock his big-play threat downfield," DeFabo said. "During Sunday’s practice, Rodgers did find Metcalf on a deep cross thanks to some blown coverage. But that touchdown is the outlier in an offense that’s relied overwhelmingly on short, quick passes or checkdowns. During a 7-on-7 period, Rodgers overthrew Metcalf on a pair of vertical routes. This comes days after Rodgers and Metcalf failed to connect on a go route during the two-minute drill to end 'Friday Night Lights.' The only other memorable deep ball between the two in team periods also fell incomplete about a week ago, when Rodgers’ pass fluttered out of bounds as Joey Porter Jr. stayed in Metcalf’s hip pocket." While DK Metcalf has never been a polished route-runner, he was still brought in to make life easier on the quarterback. Multiple reports from training camp continue to express similar analysis, indicating that the connection between Metcalf and Rodgers, especially downfield, has been far from perfect. If the chemistry between Metcalf and Rodgers continues to stall, someone else will have to step up. As DeFabo also reports, no one else has been able to take an alpha role in this receiver room thus far. "On Sunday, Rodgers looked for [Roman] Wilson on a corner route. The uncatchable ball skipped well in front of the receiver," DeFabo said. "Either the throw was errant or they weren’t on the same page. It was a similar story last week, when Rodgers looked for Wilson along the sideline and threw it well out of bounds. After that misfire, Rodgers walked Wilson through how to run his route the way the QB wants. Meanwhile, [Calvin] Austin missed his second consecutive practice with an injury." After essentially being redshirted due to injury in his rookie year, Roman Wilson has been given multiple opportunities to run with the first-team offense and prove that he belongs on the field. So far, he appears to have absolutely zero chemistry with his new quarterback, which could cause him to lose reps as time goes on. The injury to Calvin Austin III has not helped at all, either, as he was named WR2 earlier in the offseason. While Rodgers wants everyone to thrive, he is known for being very particular and demanding of his receivers. With Metcalf not being a great route-runner and Wilson still trying to learn the system, the veteran quarterback is having a hard time getting what he wants out of them. Wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni was also brought in to be a no-nonsense type of coach who forces his players to be the best that they can be. He'll need to earn his keep this offseason as he continues to prepare his unit for the regular season. If 2025 is as much of a struggle as training camp is so far, the whole position could see a massive overhaul.
Kevin Love reportedly has preferred buyout destination
Kevin Love is eyeing a return to his roots. The five-time NBA All-Star big man Love has a preferred destination on the buyout market, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported on Tuesday. Love would like to end up in Los Angeles. Now 36 years old, Love spent the last two-and-a-half seasons with the Miami Heat. He averaged just 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds over 10.9 minutes per game in 2024-25 but still managed to shoot 35.8 percent from three on the year. Earlier this summer however, the Heat traded Love to the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team blockbuster deal. Now Love, a 17-year NBA veteran, is pursuing a contract buyout from the rebuilding Jazz. Though he is a native of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Love played his college ball in Los Angeles at UCLA. He also has ties to both L.A. teams — he won an NBA championship with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 and was also coached on that team by Tyronn Lue, who is now head coach of the L.A. Clippers. Both the Lakers and Clippers are currently sitting at 14 guaranteed contracts each. While they still have spots for two-way and Exhibit 10 players, that means the Lakers and Clippers are both down to their final open roster spot. The ex-rebounding leader Love still has some value, though probably more so as a jokester than as a contributing rotation piece. While Love clearly wants a homecoming to Los Angeles, he may have some convincing to do for either the Lakers or the Clippers to give him that final open roster spot.
Cowboys' problem with Micah Parsons may hand Steelers a franchise QB
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the most-talked-about NFL organizations throughout the course of the 2025 offseason. One of the biggest headlines that was attached to the franchise involved a rare May trade that sent George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Many expected the wide receiver to be dealt before or during the NFL Draft, but after a move didn't occur, it was believed that he would play out the final year of his rookie contract in the Steel City. Now, he is teaming up with CeeDee Lamb in the NFC, and a duo has been formed that could be very dangerous. Unfortunately for fans of the Cowboys, the two wide receivers have not been the talk of Dallas' training camp. Team owner Jerry Jones is playing hardball with edge-rusher Micah Parsons, and the talented defender recently requested a trade. The decision not to pay Parsons yet has left Jones under intense scrutiny, given the fact that the pass-rusher is one of the league's best. Jones' recent comments also show how dysfunctional the situation has become. In a recent appearance on ESPN's "Get Up," respected analyst Dan Orlovsky found a way to relate Parsons' situation to quarterback Dak Prescott, insinuating that if Jones does indeed trade Parsons, Prescott's Super Bowl window in Dallas would close. "If they trade [Parsons], and I don't think they do, if they trade him, it declares the Dak Prescott era over," Orlovsky said. "This team has no shot of winning a Super Bowl without Micah Parsons. No shot, and if you're doing it, it's to acquire a ton of first-round picks, so you have the ammunition to go get an Arch Manning of the future." The Steelers are set to have 12 draft picks in 2026, which gives the front office plenty of options when it comes to bringing in the next franchise quarterback. Instead of drafting one, however, could an available Prescott be a target for general manager Omar Khan? Orlovsky believes trading Parsons away would upset the Cowboys' best players. "There's no way that you can go to your locker room with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, some of the first-round picks you have on your offensive line, Trevon Diggs, and go, 'Hey, go beat Philadelphia when you don't have Micah Parsons. Go beat the Rams when you don't have Micah Parsons.' Your locker room will sit there and go like, 'Oh, well you've obviously moved on, so we're going to start our process of moving on as well.'" Any team interested in acquiring Prescott would have to take a long look at his contract. Some of the cap hits are astronomical in the coming years, but Khan is known to be a guru when it comes to the finances in deals. There's no reason to believe that he couldn't make something work for Prescott if a trade were to happen during the 2026 offseason. Fans in Dallas shouldn't be panicking just yet, but there were already some rumors about Prescott's long-term position with the Cowboys during the 2025 offseason. Certain reports were eventually debunked because it was quite literally impossible for Jones to entertain the idea of dealing Prescott after the franchise altered the quarterback's contract. Prescott has a no-trade clause, but that can always be waived, especially if he is upset about how Jones moves forward. If the Cowboys trade Parsons and pick up a plethora of draft capital, and then go on to invest in a first-round signal-caller, Prescott may be requesting to be traded as well. That's a long way away from happening, but the Steelers immediately come to mind as a team that would likely be interested. The Steelers' best-case scenario would be the emergence of Will Howard It's not easy to make a name for oneself in the NFL, and it's even tougher for players like Will Howard who were drafted in the sixth round. Pittsburgh will be in the quarterback market once again in 2026 if Aaron Rodgers is serious about retirement, so it would be a fantastic development if Howard solidifies himself as the next starter in the Steel City.
Concerning update emerges about Celtics' new starting center
Since being eliminated in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics have endured a significant talent drain. Brad Stevens came into the summer knowing he needed to decrease the current payroll. Boston was on track to pay out close to $500 million in salaries and luxury-tax penalties. Unfortunately for Celtics fans, that meant that multiple key members of the roster were set to leave the franchise. Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet and likely Al Horford have all found new homes this summer. The worrying part is that three of those names were core frontcourt contributors. In their place, Boston will now rely on Neemias Queta, Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman. Not only does the Celtics frontcourt lack experience, it's also short on size and perimeter scoring. To make matters worse, it has now been revealed that Queta, who is expected to be Boston's starting center, underwent offseason surgery. “It’s been good,” Queta told Bobby Manning of CLNS Media. “We’ve been dealing with this stuff (since) a couple years ago. We just decided it was a great time for us to do it. We’re trying to get back to 100%. We feel pretty confident in the process and we’re just grateful that we were taken care of, and I want to make sure I’m healthy and get back to 100% and I feel like I’m on the right path to do that.” Queta is expected to be 100 percent healthy by the time the Celtics open training camp. However, the concern should be that Queta, who has rarely dealt with a sizable role, needed surgery in the first place. 7-footers often deal with knee and back issues. The fact that he's suffered an injury without a significant workload means there should be caution about relying on him to be the starting big man moving forward. At 26 years old, Queta is nearing his prime years. He's not a developmental talent anymore. Yet, he spent last season as Boston's fourth-string center, and will now jump into the starting lineup. Celtics fans should have a high level of concern over his viability in that role, both in terms of talent and whether his body can deal with the additional impact on his knees. Brad Stevens and the Celtics franchise do a great job of keeping things under wraps. The fact that Queta's surgery was kept secret for so long is impressive. But now that the news is out there, all eyes will be on how he handles the rigors of his new role, and whether his body will allow him to become a suitable candidate for the long-term starter's role in the middle of the court.
