Christina Haack credits a familiar face with supporting her through her tumultuous third divorce: her first husband, Tarek El Moussa. Haack, 42, told People that she ended her three-year marriage to Josh Hall, 45, last summer after a “blow-up” argument made her realize she and her children were uncomfortable around him. El Moussa, 44, was immediately supportive. “I called Tarek, and I said, ‘I’m worried right now. I feel uncomfortable.’ And he said, ‘Leave,’” Haack told People. She says he even took charge of firing Hall from their HGTV series, The Flip Off, which had just started filming its first season. “Tarek told our attorney and told the network for me that Josh would no longer be a part of the show,” she explained. The Christina on the Coast star says the network quickly agreed, but stipulated that Haack and El Moussa must film an episode discussing her divorce. The former couple, who rose to fame on the HGTV series Flip or Flop, were married from 2009 to 2018 and share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 10. Haack remarried in 2018 to TV presenter Ant Anstead, with whom she shares a son, Hudson, 6. The pair divorced in 2021, and she married Hall later that year. After separating from Hall in July 2024, Haack is now in a relationship with Network Connex CEO Christopher Larocca. Meanwhile, El Moussa married Selling Sunset star Heather Rae Young, 38, in 2021, and the pair share a son, Tristan, 2. The Flip Off initially followed the El Moussas as they competed against Haack and Hall to flip houses for the largest profit, but Haack now competes solo. In a January 2025 episode, the mom-of-three revealed that her close co-parenting relationship with El Moussa brought out “insecurities” in Hall that contributed to the breakdown of their marriage.
