On September 26, Christina returned to Instagram to “reintroduce” herself. The HGTV personality had received a lot of criticism after confirming her split and this was an indirect way of shutting down all the haters.
“For those of you who don’t know me (or think you know me) let me reintroduce myself. I hate crowds, I love traveling, all things spiritual, the ocean, and deep one on one conversations,” she started. “I never thought about being on tv, I wanted to be a sports agent like Jerry Maguire.”
Christina goes on to say that looking at houses was always something that piqued her interest. When she went to college to get her real estate license, which led her to start flipping homes and then a TV show.
“TV changed my life and I am grateful for the life it’s provided, the experiences, the friends I’ve made along the way,” she continued. “Sometimes our calling is bigger than our plans. 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 curve balls. Instead of getting stuck in these ‘setbacks,’ I choose to look at these challenges as opportunities to grow.”
“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. I’m messy, I’m real and I’m working on healing.”
In the end, Christina hopes that her being open about her life decisions inspires people “to not be so hard” on oneself for the decisions we make.
