Ant Anstead is filing for custody.
The 43-year-old TV presenter filed paperwork against 38-year-old HGTV star ex Christina Hall (formerly Christina El Moussa, Christina Anstead and Christina Haack) asking for full custody of their 2-year-old son Hudson, via TMZ.
In the paperwork, Ant says Christina has been mostly absent from their son’s life, spending an average of “nine full days each month” with him over the last 20 months.
He also accuses her of putting on him on blast on social media, and says the last time Hudson spent time with Christina, he came back with a terrible sunburn, who apparently responded: “It didn’t feel hot. Give him some Tylenol I’m sure it will be better tomorrow.”
Ant also says that in January Christina returned Hudson to him without disclosing her family all had COVID.
“At the time my partner (who we know is RenĂ©e Zellweger) was filming her new project and her covid diagnosis placed the whole production on pause,” Ant said in the paperwork.
He’s now asking for full custody, with Christina getting alternating weekends, and wants Christina to be restricted from any “commercial endeavor” involving Hudson unless he agrees.
“What Ant is doing deeply saddens me. If this was really about Hudson, as he says, this should have been handled privately with a private judge or mediation, as myself and my attorney have suggested. I have had my share of ups and downs but I am a good mom and I love my children with all my heart and I will always protect them,” Christina responded in a statement.
Christina also just got re-married.
