Christina Haack recalls her painful memories from her third marriage

The reality star shared her vulnerability about how she really feels about her split from her third husband and a very unusual confidant at the premiere of her new series The Flip Off.

Christina Haack and Josh Hall initiated their divorce in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage, and the legal proceedings saw a series of very public and bitter disagreements between the estranged couple.

The reality TV star looked very sad in a sneak peek when her ex-husband stopped by her home in Newport Beach, California, to check on her. “You good?” Tarek asked, to which Christina responded emotionally, “No…Josh and I have officially broken up.”

The HGTV star explained to Tarek that they had many confrontations and “middle fingers in my face.” “Things with Josh were bad for a long time,” she admitted during the conversation.

Christina noted that their children, Taylor and Brayden, asked her to leave the marriage: “They told me he wasn’t nice to me. Why should I stay here?”

according to the people“I feel like I’m in a hurricane all the time, and I can’t get out of it. Everything since 2016 has been so difficult and so terrible,” says the mother of three. She also said through tears: “It affected me deeply.”

Christina’s tearful reaction to the divorce prompted Tarek to confess some bitter truths. His statement came right after the mother of three shared, “I’m really sorry about that, too. I really am. I just want you to know.”

Tariq assured her that he understood the feeling of being “a little lost,” adding: “And I admit that I am a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this.”

Their honest conversation marks the first time Tarek and Christina have spoken about their divorce on screen, nearly a decade after finalizing the process.

The real estate broker previously spoke about how he went into a dark place after their split in 2016. He described the weeks immediately following the breakup as “physical and emotional hell.”

Tariq also wrote in his memoir Turn Your Life Up about hiding on his boat, drinking while unconscious, and severe testosterone withdrawal until friends intervened to get professional help.

He recovered and found love again with his wife, Heather, whom he married in 2021. Two years later, in February 2023, they welcomed their son, Tristan.

Christina revealed that she and Josh filmed some awkward episodes together for the new reality TV show, but according to her, “it wasn’t fun.” As reported ExplosionThe doting mother said:

“I didn’t enjoy filming with him. After the breakup, I did this, HonestlyMuch easier and much better in every way.”

The star explained that Josh was very insecure and didn’t like watching her win, adding: “I feel like I wasn’t as bright as I was trying not to make him feel weak.”

She claimed that her ex-husband did not understand Tarek’s dynamic, and that his jealousy over their bond would have ruined everything.

Christina’s statement about her ex-husband’s energy on set matches the narrative of Tarek and Heather, who commented on how positive-minded Christina has become since they went their separate ways. Tarek’s wife explained that she didn’t intend to be mean to Josh, but she felt “it’s good to see him go.”

Although the network continued filming the show amid news of the couple’s divorce, changes were made behind the scenes to fill the void left by Josh’s exit.

The show, scheduled to air in 2025, has completely overhauled its original theme but promises viewers entertaining content regardless of the changes.

The sources claimed that the couple’s marriage declined over time. They explained that the separation occurred due to years of increasing tension. The separating couple’s marital crisis may also be related to their professional relationship, which was equally chaotic.

Viewers will also see the close relationship between Christina, Tarek and Heather and the striking resemblance between Heather and Christina, which once led to a case of mistaken identity in a friendly video shared on social media.

While Christina’s relationship with Josh has been strained beyond repair, the reality TV star and her second ex-husband have worked out their previously strained relationship.

Explosion They shared a report of their friendly interaction two months ago after Ant shared a sweet photo of their 5-year-old son Hudson at a successful soccer practice on Saturday, October 19.

Ant described his son and the ‘Golden Chameleon”s performance as fantastic as Hudson was seen beaming alongside his coach and teammates.

The British TV personality tagged her baby mother in a post on her Instagram story, and Christina surprised everyone by re-sharing the photo on her account. The interaction came after Christina liked her ex-husband’s October 17 Instagram post of their son at the beach.

Christina and you have come a long way from their bitter custody battle, which was eventually settled in November 2022, to allow them to share joint legal and physical custody of their beautiful son.

This clip definitely set the tone for what fans should expect from Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa’s renewed professional relationship on the show!
