Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa talk about a new Reno show with Christina Hall
Tarek El Moussa and woman Heather Rae El Moussa understand fans think their new renovation show is with his ex-wife, Christina Halland her husband, Joshua Hallcrazy’.
The couple appeared Tamron Hall on Friday, June 7, and discussed their willingness to “let the past be the past” in an exclusive clip obtained by We weekly.
“I’m just going to say it, it’s a little weird that we have a house flipping competition show because they literally have no chance of beating us,” Tarek, 42, joked about the blended family’s upcoming HGTV series, The flip-offwhich will premiere in 2025.
Heather, 36, added of their dynamic: “It’s crazy but everyone is in such a good place and we’re here to give you guys a great show and we’re really excited about it.”
Tarek and Christina, 40, were married from 2009 to 2018 and share two children: daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8. The couple’s divorce ultimately led to the end of their long-running series, Flip or Flop, in 2022 after 10 seasons. Tarek and Heather married in 2021 and welcomed their son Tristan in February 2023. (Christina was married to Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021, and they share son Hudson, 4. She married her current husband, Joshua, 43, in 2022.)
Tarek told Tamron, 53, that he felt like he and Christina went from “best friends to arch enemies” during their uncoupling. However, he decided he wanted a different dynamic for the sake of their children.
“As time goes by, you start to think and you start to realize things, right?” Tarek explained. “And what I realized is this: I couldn’t imagine growing up in a family where my parents were divorced and they hated each other because I love my mother, I love my father. They are divorced but still get together and we have family dinners. And the truth is: let the past be the past.”
After years of tension between Tarek, Christina and their respective spouses, the group was brought together after Brayden underwent emergency surgery in May 2022. Although the situation was terrifying for the parents, it ultimately helped them all make amends.
“Stressful 24 hours, but a good reminder of how important teamwork/co-parenting is,” Christina wrote via Instagram at the time. “We’re all under pressure, but when it really matters, we were all in favor of Brayden doing our part. Sometimes a frightening situation can be a good wake-up call. In the end, all the other things are just ‘noise’, what matters are the children.”
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall may not be together anymore, but they remain a team for their family. After the couple split in December 2016 after seven years of marriage, they continued to work together on their show HGTV’s Flip or Flop. While the exes remained colleagues, they started working together with their two children: daughter […]
In addition to talking about their upcoming show during their performance on Friday Tamron HallHeather said she was “so proud” of Tarek for writing his book Turn your life aroundwhich details his battle with addiction.
“It’s not easy when the whole world is watching and they always have something negative, mean to say and you let it all out and you don’t know how people are going to deal with it,” she said. “He’s put it all out there and doesn’t care about the negativity – he’s trying to help people.”
Tarek agreed that it was “100 percent worth it” to release his memoir.
