The story of Christina and Ant Anstead's marriage and separation is a unique one. From a FaceTime chat to a surprise wedding, and then a surprise decision to go their separate ways, we're dishing the details on the real story. Before they went on their first date, Ant Anstead called Christina over FaceTime. And this pair of strangers hit it off so well, their very first call ended up going on for hours. The future Mr. & Mrs. Anstead were set up on a blind date by a friend back in 2017, and, as Christina shared in a 2019 interview with Extra, they spent literal hours chatting each other up. Christina told the outlet that they then, "Met at a restaurant with a group of people, and it was just love at first sight." In 2018, Christina reminisced about this fateful FaceTime on Instagram, when she wrote, "A year ago today [Ant] called me for the first time and we spoke for 29 [minutes]. Two days later […] he FaceTimed me. […] I answered and we spoke for 2.5 hours." That same day, Ant also took to Instagram to wax nostalgic about the video chat that started it all, writing, "ONE YEAR TODAY!!!!! You answered my phone call! Then A TWO AND A HALF HOUR FACETIME! I knew then!"
