Tarek El Moussa Reveals Why He ‘Never’ Expected to Work on a Show with Ex Christina Hall!.Linh

The former couple along with Heather Rae Young are working together on The Flip Off

Christina Hall and Tarek El Moussa have come a long way since their explosive split and subsequent 2018 divorce.

The former couple were still working together on HGTV’s Flip or Flop, when in May 2016, a fight culminated in cops being called to their home, reportedly in response to a suicidal male with a gun, and they announced their separation in December of that year.

They have since moved on and made amends — Tarek tied the knot with Heather Rae Young in 2021, while Christina married and divorced Ant Anstead and is currently in the process of divorcing Josh Hall — and they are back to working together as well.

Come next year, the former couple along with the Selling Sunset star will premiere a new HGTV show, which was originally meant to also star Josh, titled The Flip Off, in which they will face off to see who can “find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain.”

Tarek, recently speaking with Us Weekly, opened up about working with his wife and ex-wife, and how he truly “never” thought they would get to that point.

“Man, I never, ever in my life thought this show would happen,” he confessed, adding: “Sometimes I’m sitting there and I’ll have a moment where I look over at Heather, my wife, and I look over to the other side, and there’s my ex-wife, Christina. And I wonder, ‘How did I get here?'”

This isn’t the first time Tarek has opened up about how far his relationship with Christina, and their kids, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, eight, has come.

Speaking with E! News earlier this year, he maintained that today, his relationship with Christina is “amazing,” and explained: “Time heals. And enough time has passed to where all the anger and rage and the negative thoughts, I feel like they’re finally gone.”
