HGTV star Christina Haack just turned 42 and is putting the past behind her, including three failed marriages.
But some of that past still lives in Christina’s jewelry box, in the form of three diamond rings.
So which ex gave her the biggest engagement ring?
A new article from women.com does a deep dive into the photographic evidence to weigh Christina’s bling.
It should probably come as no surprise that the ring given to her by first husband Tarek El Moussa is not a contender, considering the fact that the pair got married long before their HGTV show “Flip or Flop” made them famous.
In fact, back in 2013, speaking of HGTV signing the couple to do a show, Christina told The Orange County Register, “They liked the fact that we were poor and were trying to make something of ourselves.” So while ring number one may be worth the most in sentimental value, it isn’t likely to compare monetarily.
Christina Haack’s Second Marriage to Ant Anstead Featured Diamond Band
While Christina Haack was never really seen publicly wearing an engagement ring before her second marriage to British tv personality Ant Anstead, that doesn’t mean there was no bling!
Christina’s wedding band in her marriage to Ant featured a boatload of stunning diamonds.
According to People, the eternity band featured 16 emerald cut diamonds set in a double basket setting on a platinum band, Those diamonds totaled a whopping 8.5 carats.
People confirmed the couple got the ring from Randall Scott Fine Jewelry & Watches, which posted a picture of the stunner on its Instagram account. Christina liked the post.
People further confirmed that Christina kept the ring in the divorce.
Third Time’s the Charm, At Least When It Comes to Diamonds
While the third time was not the charm in the marriage department for Christina Haack, it did land the designer her priciest engagement ring.
In an Instagram post at the time of the engagement, Jeweler Benny and the Gems showed a picture of the diamond in a velvet ring box, writing, “Amazing hand made ring custom designed by Josh for Christina.💍💍😍😍🍾🍾🍾”
Benny and the Gems owner Benny Hayoun told E! News that the custom, five-carat center diamond is worth an estimated $200,000. The jeweler said Christina “knew exactly what she wanted. He [Josh] was confident and wanted to pick the best ring he could.”
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro told Hello!, “Christina’s pavé engagement ring represents exquisite beauty and class. Her square shape diamond appears to be a radiant cut and her band is lined with smaller diamonds that accentuate the center stone.”
Will Christina Haack Add to Her Diamond Collection?
While Christina Haack has said in the past that she’s done with marriage, she was singing a different tune during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy” alongside boyfriend Chris Larocca.
When one of the hosts of the program joked, “No more husbands,” Christina shocked the room by responding “Okay well… maybe one more.”
And in a Q&A with Heather Rae El Moussa, Christina hedged her bets when asked if she would be open to getting married again, saying, “Not any time soon, I don’t know, we’ll see.”
In the same video, Christina tells first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa that she changed her name back to Haack. And furthermore, it’s “back to stay.” “I changed it at the Social Security office. Do you know how much work that is?,” she told Tarek. Tarek agreed, saying, “I know if you did it, you’re never changing it again.” Christina replied, “That’s right!”
