Tarek El Moussa takes accountability for divorce from HGTV star Christina Haack

Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa are set to bring their complex personal history back to TV with a new HGTV competition series, The Flip Off. In a sneak peek of the show, Christina opened up to her ex-husband Tarek about her 2024 breakup with Josh Hall, sharing an emotional and heartfelt conversation that showcased their evolved dynamic.

During their candid discussion, Christina reflected on the toll her split from Josh had taken, revealing that even her children had encouraged the breakup after witnessing troubling behavior, including an argument where Josh put his middle fingers in her face. “It’s been really hard,” Christina admitted, acknowledging the strain her past relationships have caused since her divorce from Tarek in 2016. In a poignant moment, she apologized to Tarek, saying, “I’m really sorry for s*** too. I really am.”

Tarek reciprocated the sentiment, taking accountability for his role in their past struggles. “I understand that feeling of being a little bit lost,” he said. “And I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this.” Their exchange highlights how the former couple has managed to transform their relationship into a supportive friendship.

Premiering January 29, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET, The Flip Off will pit Christina, Tarek, and his current wife Heather Rae El Moussa against each other in a high-stakes renovation competition. Over six episodes, the trio will compete to purchase, renovate, and flip properties, with the winner determined by who earns the biggest profit. The show promises drama, humor, and plenty of competitive spirit as the former co-stars and co-parents go head-to-head.

Tarek confidently told HGTV.com, “When it comes to distressed real estate, I own the space, and Christina doesn’t stand a chance.” Meanwhile, Heather, a luxury real estate expert, expressed her eagerness to prove herself: “I’ve been flipping houses with Tarek for years. Now it’s my time to show off my designs and beat Christina.”

Not one to back down, Christina fired back, “Tarek is the self-proclaimed ‘best flipper in the world,’ but give me a break. I can’t wait to smoke them at their own game.” With this competitive energy, viewers can expect a “renovation battle for the ages.”

Despite their rocky past, Tarek, Christina, and Heather have come together for this new venture, with Christina revealing that producing without Josh has been “easier.” The trio’s combined history, both personal and professional, will undoubtedly add layers of intrigue to the show. Their ability to address past issues while focusing on their future projects speaks volumes about their growth and resilience.

Catch The Flip Off on HGTV for a spicy mix of personal drama and fierce renovation battles, where sparks—and profits—are sure to fly.
