Who Has Custody of Christina and Ant’s Son Hudson?
When Ant filed for full custody of their son in April 2022, things got worse after they got a divorce in June 2021.
In the middle of their heated custody battle, Christina said she won’t film their young son for her TV show or social media posts anymore.

“Because of this, I’ve decided not to show Hudson on Instagram, my TV shows, or any other social media until he’s old enough to decide for himself.”
