HGTV star Christina Haack is sharing the best part of filming with her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa on their series, “The Flip Off.”
While speaking to Us Weekly in January 2025, alongside her ex-husband and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, Haack said that she appreciated how Tarek El Moussa understands the nature of filming a HGTV series. Haack explained that even if they are having issues, they will ignore their problems while cameras are rolling. As fans are aware, the former couple also starred in the show “Flip or Flop.”
“Tarek’s easy to film with. He gets it. We could be fighting, but when the cameras turn on, we’ll be fine,” said Haack to the publication.
She said, however, that her ex-husband ” does get more in his own head than” than she does.
“Stuff I’m saying on camera, I’m doing it for a reason — it’s not even necessarily real, but we used to get into arguments about that,” said Haack to the publication.
Tarek El Moussa Spoke About Filming With His Ex-Wife
During the Us Weekly interview, Tarek El Moussa said he was not worried about filming with Haack, whom he divorced in 2018, again.
“The last couple of years we’ve been in a really good place. It took us almost 10 years to get there, so going back into shooting together, it’s a lot more of an intimate relationship. There were some reservations. But as the show has gone on, we’ve realized it’s just business,” said Tarek El Moussa during the interview.
He said, however, that he and Haack did “butt heads” during the production of “The Flip Off.”
“Because she always wants to get her way. She doesn’t want to have rules,” said Tarek El Moussa, the father of Haack’s eldest children, Taylor and Brayden.
Heather Rae El Moussa interjected that her husband and Haack “are like brother and sister.” She also said that she acts as “the mediator” between the former couple.
“I jump in and make it lighthearted,” said Heather Rae El Moussa.
Heather Rae El Moussa made similar comments about her husband and his ex-wife’s dynamic in a January 2025 interview with Access Hollywood.
“They bicker and fight. And I definitely felt like I was the mediator in between. And I would kind of like keep my cool. But they fight like brother and sister. So it’s really funny,” said Heather Rae El Moussa.
Christina Haack Said It Was Difficult to Film With Josh Hall
Christina Haack’s now-estranged husband, Josh Hall, filmed one episode of “The Flip Off.” However, Hall exited the series after he and Haack’s July 2024 separation.
During a November 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Haack said she had difficulty filming with Hall. According to Haack, Hall was threatened by her dynamic with Tarek El Moussa.
“Because Tarek and I have our own dynamic and some could call it flirty. It’s more like — for me, it’s a sibling type thing,” said Haack to the publication.
