Tarek El Moussa is a real estate investor and television personality. He is best known for co-hosting HGTV’s Flip or Flop alongside his ex-wife Christina Haack.
El Moussa got his real estate license in 2002, at the age of 21. He had a lucrative career selling real estate until the 2008 economic crisis, when the business he shared with his then-wife, Christina Haack, began to struggle.
At that time, the couple had no choice but to give up their $6,000/month home to move to a $700/month apartment. The pair then ventured into a new real estate strategy — flipping houses.
During their first flip, El Moussa submitted an audition tape to HGTV that followed the pair’s process of flipping a house. The network picked up the show, which has seen a popular 10-season run, with season 10 premiering on HGTV in December 2021.
What happened to Tarek and Christina?
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall’s relationship has played out on television for the past nine years.
Fans first met the couple when their HGTV series Flip or Flop aired in 2013. At the time, El Moussa and Hall were married with a toddler. They welcomed their second child two years later, but in 2016, they announced their separation.
However, the exes continued to film their show together before announcing the end of the series in 2022.
“I think we did a pretty good job and I’m excited for what the future holds for both of us and wish her nothing but the best!” El Moussa wrote on Instagram ahead of the series finale.
Since finalizing their divorce in 2018, both parties went on to marry other people: El Moussa wed Selling Sunset’s Heather Rae Young in 2021, while Hall recently tied the knot with Joshua Hall. (Prior to her marriage with Joshua, Hall was married to Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2020, during which they welcomed one son together.)
From their early days as real estate agents to co-parenting their two children.
