The move-out came shortly after Joshua broke his silence on their divorce. “I prefer privacy, especially during something as life-changing as a divorce I did not ask for,” Joshua wrote via Instagram on Friday. “I will not publicly badmouth anyone as people have families, friends and others who respect and love them. Unfortunately, the internet is forever.”

Joshua shared a selfie with his dog alongside the message. “We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters,” he wrote. “Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.”

The pair, who tied the knot in April 2022, both filed for divorce last month. While Christina listed their date of separation as July 7, Joshua’s court documents have the split date marked as July 8.
