She co-parents her teenage daughter, Gia, and her younger son, Jacob, with her ex-husband, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2022\/08\/26\/attorney-neil-flores-was-wed-to-selling-the-oc-star-alex-hall-for-7-years\/\">Neil Flores<\/a>, who she divorced years ago.<\/p>\n<p>She said on Instagram Stories: &#8220;We celebrate Thanksgiving every other year on Wednesday because I alternate the holidays with my ex-husband. So the kids go with their Dad this year for Thanksgiving, hence why we&#8217;re doing it on a Wednesday. And typically I host.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the last decade I&#8217;ve been hosting Thanksgiving which I am thoroughly obsessed with. And for those of you who have been following my journey this last year know that I don&#8217;t have my house. So, I won&#8217;t be hosting this year. My mum will be hosting,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Alex continued: &#8220;So it doesn&#8217;t even feel real. It doesn&#8217;t even feel like Thanksgiving this year because normally it&#8217;s like the whole week leading up to it, I&#8217;m prepping. Normally I have a 20 or 30-people Thanksgiving, which is so much fun. I&#8217;m now twiddling my thumbs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DBMSmuNPlqP\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DBMSmuNPlqP\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Alex Hall (@alexhalloc)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script> She added: &#8220;I remember in the very beginning of my divorce, I used to get really sad about the whole holiday thing and I have really figured out a way to make it all work and not focus on the actual day and just spend quality time with your kids or your family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m making the best of it, we&#8217;re going to celebrate Thanksgiving today. We&#8217;ve been doing this for many years and tomorrow, I&#8217;m probably just going to hop around to other family and friends&#8217; houses and have a cocktail, mimosa, try their food. It&#8217;s about perspective,&#8221; Alex said.<\/p>\n<p>She then added that &#8220;it always works out&#8221; and that she &#8220;can&#8217;t wait for this year to be over,&#8221; so therefore is welcoming Thanksgiving. Alex got into a new relationship earlier this year, and was seen looking at new houses with him on Selling The OC until their split.<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">For all the latest
