Christina Haack is getting candid about her past struggles with anxiety and how far she’s come since then.
While sharing photos from her recent trip to Paris to curate a new product for her champagne line, the HGTV star, 42, expressed why the trip is so meaningful for her in an Instagram post on Saturday, May 9.
“Paris for 72 hours with people I love and admire,” she began in the caption. “I never take any of this life for granted.”
The Clé Cachée founder reflected on some of the hardships she’s experienced in recent years. “There was a time a few years ago when I had such severe anxiety and was at war with my brain,” she continued. “I am grateful to be doing what I love with people I adore with no one bothering me.”

Haack concluded her message by playfully plugging the reason why she came to Paris in the first place: “Oh and @clecacheechampagne rosé coming soon 🙌🩷”
The carousel of photos included snaps of Haack posing in the streets of Paris with some pals and her boyfriend Chris Larocca, whom she’s been dating since the fall of 2024.
In the comments, Larocca showed his support for his girlfriend’s vulnerable post and upcoming product launch by gushing, “I’m so proud of you!!! Love you baby.” Haack responded to her boyfriend’s sweet comment: “Best partner there ever was.”

The Flip Off star previously opened up to PEOPLE about the difficulties she faced following her tumultuous split from her third husband Josh Hall in July 2024. While their heated divorce was an intense period for Haack, she said she’s choosing to look at it in a positive light.

“I don’t look at it as starting over, and especially for the fourth time. That just makes me want to cringe,” the HGTV host told PEOPLE last fall. “It does feel like a fresh start in that for once I’m actually in control of my destiny, and that feels really good.”
She continued, “I’m not going to say I have it all together. I’m still learning. I’m still a work in progress. And I’m grateful for my mistakes.”
Before Hall, Haack was married to her first husband, Tarek El Moussa, 44, and second husband, Ant Anstead, 47. The mom of three — who shares daughter Taylor, 15, and son Brayden, 10, with El Moussa, as well as son Hudson, 6, with Anstead — has since reconciled and formed friendships with both of her exes despite years of tension after their divorces.

While speaking to PEOPLE back in 2020, Haack shared how she’s able to “cope with stress” after experiencing intense “brain fog” and “constantly feeling like I was in fight-or-flight mode.”
“Now I’m more in tune with my body,” she shared at the time. “Instead of crashing myself with exercise, I do yoga and practice meditation on the Headspace app. When my mind’s quiet and there are no distractions, that’s when I get really, really good ideas.”
