In April 2022, Christina and Josh got married after a year of dating. TMJ was the first to report the news, which was later confirmed by PEOPLE, with sources saying they tied the knot in California “sometime within the last six months.”
She later spoke about her private courthouse wedding in a December 2022 episode of the show Christina on the Coast.
“At this point in my life, I really appreciate privacy when I can get it,” she said. “So Josh and I decided to have a ceremony at the courthouse, just the two of us. Something private, just for us. And then, later, we’ll have a reception for the kids and family.”

According to Joshua’s realtor past page, he began his career in real estate later in life after serving as a California State Police Officer for 16 years. His police career ended when he suffered an injury.
“While living in Southern California, I realized my passion was helping others and became a police officer at the age of 21,” he wrote. “Before my 16-year career was cut short by line-of-duty injuries that ultimately led to early retirement, I took pride in helping people with their everyday struggles and making their lives easier.”
Joshua added that his police career actually helped him on his path to becoming a realtor: “With my previous career solving problems, helping others in difficult situations, and my love for real estate, I made the decision to get my real estate license in Texas.”
In July 2017, Josh’s sister Jessica posted on Instagram about her brother’s service as a police officer with the caption, “So proud of my brother Josh for his service as a Santa Monica PD officer for the past 16 years! Cheers to what the future holds for you .”

“This woman I call mine is nothing short of amazing,” he wrote in the caption. “No one or anything is going to stop her from achieving happiness/success. She doesn’t need anyone’s validation and she certainly doesn’t let anyone’s disapproval affect what she does with HER life.”
His message ended with a note about misconceptions on the Internet. “Reminder: social media is not reality,” added Joshua. “Some of the best moments are never caught on camera and never shared on any social media platform. They are kept private and cherished together with those involved.”
Enjoys family time
