Brayden wasn’t the only one to get some love from Haack’s followers. Fans of the HGTV star were quick to notice Hudson’s whimsical pants with sharks on the knees. 

“Shark life over there,” one person wrote. Another described them as “everything.” “Those shark pants are the best!!” added another. 

One professed their love for Hudson’s pants, calling them “Jaws pants,” in a reference to the Steven Spielberg film. Some even said their children had worn the same ones.

While Haack’s fans gushed over Hudson’s pants, legal proceedings are underway involving the Christina on the Coast star and Anstead. The pair welcomed Hudson in 2019 before separating and officially divorcing in 2021

Anstead filed for emergency full custody of Hudson in late April 2022, claiming Haack created a dangerous environment for the toddler. Shortly after a judge denied Anstead’s request. Now, Haack and Anstead have a court hearing and mediation scheduled for June 2022.
