Josh, 43, initiated the proceedings by filing for a dissolution of marriage on Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences, according to paperwork obtained by TMZ .
The documents list the date of separation as July 8. Christina, 41, has also filed her own divorce papers, marking the end of their whirlwind relationship.
The couple's romance began in 2021, following Christina's high-profile and tumultuous divorce from Ant Anstead . That July, Christina opened up about her new relationship with Josh in an Instagram post, expressing a desire to shield him from the intense public scrutiny she often faced.
"I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight... The synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore," she shared. "I felt immediately crazy protective over him and wanted to keep him for myself and get to know each other before the tornado (media attention) hit."
Despite facing criticism for moving on quickly after her split from Anstead, 45, Christina and Josh's relationship flourished. In September 2021, Christina announced their engagement on Instagram, showcasing a diamond ring during a vacation in Mexico. Her caption read, "❤️♾🔒🗝 💍," signaling their deep connection and commitment.
The couple secretly wed in April 2022 . Later that year, in September, they celebrated their union with a second ceremony in Hawaii, with Christina’s children in attendance. Christina shares daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, and son Hudson, 4, with Anstead.
"Shared vows in front of family and our close friends," Christina captioned an Instagram photo at the time. "Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be. My dream man on the dreamiest island. Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night filled with love."
In the lead-up to their one-year wedding anniversary in 2023, Josh playfully addressed rumors about their relationship's longevity on social media. "How long will this one last?" he humorously captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of the couple. Christina responded in kind, commenting, "Better be ♾️ !!! ❤️."
