Hall shares son Brayden James and daughter Taylor Reese with Moussa. Anstead is dad to daughter Amelie and son Archie from his previous marriage to Louise Storey.

Instead, following the judge's ruling, a hearing was set for June 28 to allow both parties to appear and make their arguments whether the requested change to the custody should be granted. A month later, Anstead replied to an Instagram comment to say that taking his son away from Hall is the "last thing" he wants. 22 of 27 April 29, 2022: Christina Hall receives support from husband during custody battle with Ant Anstead Christina Hall/Instagram As the custody battle continued, Halls' husband shared his support for his wife on Instagram.

So Christina and I will always remain unfazed by any outside noise and save the kids from any unnecessary trauma." He then praised his wife as a working mom, calling her "very driven" and a "positive influence" in her children's lives "while achieving success in anything she does." "There is a lot that goes on in personal lives that isn't for public consumption, therefore not shared, kept private," he added. "So trust me as someone who likes to keep a low profile, no one except those directly involved knows jack about any situation more than them. 2 sides and the truth." He concluded, "I will always protect her, keep her safe and no one will hurt her with me in the picture. She doesn't bother anyone, she deserves the same in return. I will ensure that's the case." 23 of 27 September 27, 2022: Christina Hall responds to Ant Anstead's exploitation accusations regarding their son Hudson In April 2022, Anstead requested that Hall not film paid social media campaigns with their son Hudson.

"I have all the footage and they were all fun activities that he enjoyed doing, such as playing with toys or making cookies."

One commenter also wrote that Anstead deserves "all the shade you get" for not resolving things with Hall out of court, adding they "feel sorry for the crap Hudson will see when he gets older." Anstead responded that he wrote a "private letter" to Hall on April 21, one week before filing for full custody of their son.
