On Sunday, Anstead wrote on Instagram, “Anyone who really knows me knows that I don't like to share private matters publicly. I have remained silent while holding on to hope. I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness."
Over a week ago, Christina announced they were calling it quits after two years of marriage. She wrote on Instagram, “Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future."
Since announcing their split, Christina is reintroducing herself. She wrote on Saturday, “I hate crowds, I love traveling, all things spiritual, the ocean and deep one on one conversations."

While noting how “grateful” she is, Christina opened up about the stresses of fame. She revealed, “I live in a state of anxiousness and I'm so used to it that when it's not there I tend to feel a void and hop into something that causes the feeling I'm used to. This can be good and bad. And it's one of the things I'm working on breaking the pattern of. Sometimes anxiety and pursuit of new dreams leads me down amazing paths, other times it leaves me feeling lost and in a state of fight or flight / or crying in my closet."
“Sometimes our calling is bigger than our plans. I never thought I would have one divorce let alone two," she elaborated. "I never thought I would have 2 baby daddies - but sometimes life throws us curve balls. Instead of getting stuck in these 'setbacks' I choose to look at these challenges as opportunities to grow."
A source recently shed light on Christina's difficult year. They told E!, “Christina is very disappointed. Bringing home the new baby was extremely difficult and challenging. It's been a very difficult year with a lot of hard times."
