Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussaβs Past
The former couple became public figures when their HGTV series, βFlip or Flop,β premiered in 2013. However, their relationship began much earlier than that.
Haack and El Moussa met in 2005 while working in real estate in Orange County, California, according to Good Housekeeping. In their early twenties, their relationship was purely platonic and professional.
They began dating a year later and things moved quickly.
βThe day Tarek and I officially started dating, which was October 9, 2006, we moved in together,β Christina told Good Housekeeping.
They went on to tie the knot in April 2009 and welcomed their first child, daughter Taylor, in September 2010. Shortly after their HGTV series took off, they welcomed baby No. 2, son Brayden, in August 2015.
After seven years of marriage, they announced their split.
βLike many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage,β the couple said in a joint statement in December 2016. βWe had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence and no charges were filed.β
They both went on to remarry, Tarek to the βSelling Sunsetβ star, and Christina to Ant Anstead. She and Ant would later split, and she remarried Josh Hall before their July 2024 divorce. She has been in a relationship with Larocca for more than a year.
