Christina, who is the cover for the latest edition of PEOPLE magazine, opened up about her divorce from Tarek nearly two years after their separation. “I felt like I was drowning,” she said. “I was doing whatever I could to stay above water and just get through the day.”

It was right at the start of the year when Christina started envisioning what her future was going to be. “It was New Year’s Eve, and I was looking at 2018, and I thought of the year as the rebuild,” she told PEOPLE. “I’m starting from scratch, basically.”

Looks as if things are going her way with that thought process, as she is filming for her new solo HGTV series called Christina on the Coast. "The first episode is going to follow me house hunting for my new house and choosing it, and then fixing it up and moving the kids in,” Christina revealed.
