But it’s not just on set where Haack and Lange have been spotted together.

In the caption, Haack wrote, “There are still good men left,” alongside a photo of Lange under her Christmas tree. She further expressed her appreciation by mentioning, “One of them right here single handedly hoisted this 11-foot tree into my home. Appreciate you @capa_a_general.”

However, On December 6, Haack addressed the speculation in her Instagram story, writing, "Slow news day… I should be able to post pictures with my MARRIED male friends and married co-workers without it being an omg look who she’s dating thing. So bizarre and ridiculous."

Christina Haack dishes on divorce drama with Josh Hall

Despite the apparent closeness with Michale Lange, Christina Haack is still navigating her divorce from estranged husband Josh Hall, whom she married in October 2021.

Haack opened up about the reasons behind the split, revealing that Josh’s insecurity and inability to support her success played a key role in their breakup.

“When someone is insecure and doesn't like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,” she told Entertainment Tonight in November.

“I feel like I was not shining as bright to try and not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to look like that?”

Haack's marriage to Hall wasn’t the only thing recently shifting in her life.

Hall was initially set to join Christina on the upcoming HGTV series 'The Flip Off', alongside Christina's first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.

However, reports surfaced that Christina’s second ex-husband, Ant Anstead, had been filming with her instead, seemingly stepping into Hall's role.

An insider shared that Haack and Anstead appeared to have a strong rapport even when the cameras weren’t rolling, fueling speculation about their current relationship dynamic.

As for Lange, he is a multifaceted talent balancing his role as a licensed general contractor with his passion for motocross racing, as showcased on his Instagram.

He’s a familiar face on HGTV’s 'Christina on the Coast', where he works closely with Haack and designer Kylie Wing.

Their creative synergy recently extended to a brand-new venture, 'Christina & Kylie', launched in October 2024.
