Inside Christina Haack and Daughter Taylor’s Thanksgiving Trip to NYC

As I delve into the lives of these intriguing individuals, I am struck by the sheer diversity and resilience that seems to be the common thread among them. From the reality TV fame of Stacie Adams and Kendra Wilkinson’s entourage to the real estate prowess of Tarek El Moussa and his family, it’s clear that each person has carved out their unique niche in the world.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I had a wonderful time bonding with my dear daughter, Taylor El Moussa, as we indulged in delightful meals in the vibrant city of New York.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I recently had the delightful experience of embarking on a memorable girls’ trip with my 14-year-old companion. We captured moments from our journey, including snapshots of us enjoying exquisite meals at iconic eateries such as the Tiffany Blue Box Café and Le Café Louis Vuitton. Our adventure culminated in a sophisticated dining experience at the prestigious Centurion New York establishment.

“Dinner 55 floors up,” Christina wrote on her Instagram Stories Nov. 30, “with the best view.”

According to the star of “Christina on the Coast”, she shared on Instagram the day before that her four-day mother-daughter trip to New York City had been wonderful. She expressed her gratitude for this special time spent laughing, feasting, sightseeing, and shopping around the city together.

Christina began the journey amidst handling her divorce with Josh Hall, and at the same time, filming a new HGTV show titled “The Flip Off” alongside her former spouse Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa. Notably, her second ex-husband Ant Anstead will also be part of the series, as he took over from Josh following their divorce filing in July.

In my recent posts on Instagram, I’ve shared about some truly incredible journeys I’ve taken amidst the bustle of working on a fresh television series. Excitingly, this new production is all set to hit our screens come January!

Indirectly avoiding the topic of her divorce from Josh, she recently posted a cryptic message containing a popular saying, implying that every event in life occurs with a purpose or significance.

On November 30th, Christina posted on her Instagram Stories: “Every decision, even those that seem illogical at the moment. One day they’ll make sense. They always do. Knowing that my children are learning from my choices gives it all meaning.

Among Taylor’s three offspring, she is the oldest. Meanwhile, Christina and Tarek have an 8-year-old son named Brayden, while Taylor shares a 4-year-old son named Hudson with Ant.

On Thanksgiving, Brayden celebrated with his father, his stepmother Heather, their son Tristan (who is 22 years old), and also his own grandparents. However, fans noticed that Taylor was missing from the family photos posted on social media on November 28th. Later, the former cast member of “Selling Sunset” clarified the reason for Tristan’s absence.

For those who might be wondering, Taylor is currently on a trip with her mother, explaining why she’s not present in our picture. (age: 37)

Additionally, Heather penned, “We’re grateful for our children, Taylor, Brayden, and Tristan. Their pureness, affection, and hilarity enrich our lives in countless ways. And our large, eclectic, chaotic yet stunning family.

Christina and Tarek welcomed their first child together on Sept. 22, 2010.

After their divorce, they both took on the role of shared parents for their daughter, whom Christina once referred to as having the wisdom of an old soul. At times, she could engage in profound discussions about life, but just as easily return to acting like a typical child.

She noted that Taylor’s most remarkable skill lies in engaging anyone, no matter the location, in conversation. She described Taylor as lively, intelligent, athletic, cheerful, and consistently unpredictable.

Christina and Tarek welcomed their second child together on Aug. 20, 2015.

Apart from their eldest child Taylor, they’ve both been raising Brayden following their divorce. Previously, Tarek has referred to their son as a bundle of energy and a boy with the kindest soul and the largest heart.

Tarek expressed, “There isn’t enough I can say about the joy this youngster brings to my life each day.” He feels profound gratitude daily for being their father and watching him develop fills him with unparalleled happiness, making him the most contented dad on earth.

Approximately one year following her separation with Tarek, Christina began dating Ant, a TV host from England, in October 2017. They made their relationship public in January 2018, which was the same month that Christina’s divorce from Tarek was finalized. The couple got married at their Newport Beach, California home during a winter-themed wedding on December 22, 2018.

2019 saw the arrival of our first shared bundle of joy, my little boy Hudson, into Christina and Ant’s loving family, which already includes their beautiful daughters Amelie and Archie, as well as his mother Louise Storey. I couldn’t be more thrilled!

In just under two years, the pair had tied the knot but later announced their split in September 2020. Nine months after that, they officially ended their marriage with a divorce.

Since the split, Ant has moved on with actress Renée Zellweger.

On September 6th, 2019, Christina and Ant joyously welcomed their newborn son. At birth, he weighed approximately 7 lbs 7 oz and was 19.5 inches in length.

Even though they both had joint legal and physical custody of Hudson following their divorce in June 2021, Ant filed a request for full custody in April 2022. In the court papers, he alleged that his ex-partner spends approximately nine full days with their child every month.

In the month of December that followed, the former partners settled on a deal, as per court records obtained by TopMob News, where they would both retain shared legal and physical custody of Hudson.

On the Fourth of July in 2019, Tarek encountered the star from ‘Selling Sunset’ at a marina in Newport Beach, California. Their boats were docked side by side, and they were both partying there. A few weeks later, in the same month, they were seen kissing on a yacht. In August, TopMob News reported that Tarek had confirmed their relationship, stating “I never thought I’d say this word again, but this stunning lady, Heather Rae, is my girlfriend, officially.

The couple got engaged in July 2020 and became husband and wife on Oct. 23, 2021, exchanging vows during a romantic outdoor ceremony near Santa Barbara, Calif.

Heather frequently refers to herself as Tarek’s children Taylor and Brayden’s “bonus mother”. She once stated to TopMob News, “I feel like I have two more kids of my own”. She takes care of Tarek’s sons 50% of the time. She considers herself a wonderful bonus mom and cherishes them dearly, treating them as if they were her own children.

On January 31, 2023, Tarek and Heather happily welcomed their newborn son into the world. The little one tipped the scales at a healthy 7 lbs, 7 oz.

According to Heather, Tristan was meant to be the name for Tarek, but in the end, he was called Tarek instead.

His middle name is a nod to Heather’s dad.

Following the end of her marriage with Ant, Christina started seeing Josh from the year 2021 onwards. They made their relationship official in July, and Christina shared that they had been an item for a couple of months prior to this revelation.

As the star of “Flip or Flop” shares, she encountered Josh, a real estate professional, that particular spring when she was no longer in a state of panic or survival instincts, having taken a break from socializing, hired a spiritual guide, and used Bufo toad venom to help rejuvenate her mind.

Christina and Josh got engaged that September and tied the knot on Oct. 6, 2021.

The specific date of their wedding remained unknown until it was revealed that Josh filed for a divorce on July 15, 2024, due to unresolvable disagreements being the cause of the separation.

On the July 11, 2024 episode of Christina on the Coast, the process of remodeling her childhood home was revealed, and up until then, she had largely kept her family background under wraps, mostly posting photos of her parents in their role as grandparents.

In the year 2019, she mentioned on an Instagram post that during Taylor’s school’s annual Christmas concert, both our families gather together to enjoy the performance.

She expressed that several individuals appreciated its kindness, as she had observed many divorced couples (such as Tarek’s parents) doing the same and found it truly beneficial for everyone. Additionally, Taylor’s joy is evident whenever she witnesses us all seated together in a row, cheering her on.

While Josh’s connection with Christina brought him under the limelight, his sisters, in fact, had already achieved fame during the 2000s.

On the popular show “The Hills,” Stacie, often referred to as “Stacie the Bartender” by some fans, was well-known for being the focus of Spencer Pratt’s romantic advances. Additionally, she made an appearance on “Vanderpump Rules,” particularly during season three, where she served as one of Scheana Shay’s bridesmaids.

Speaking of Jessica, she is not only a former Playboy model but has also been featured on several TV shows. Among these are The Hills, The Girls Next Door, Kendra, Kendra on Top, and Kendra Sells Hollywood. Her appearances were primarily in support of her close friend, Kendra Wilkinson.

 

Angelique, the elder sister of Tarek, runs Latitude 33 Hair Artistry located in Anaheim, California. In 2014, she acquired one of the homes that Tarek and Christina flipped on the TV show Flip or Flop. Later, in 2019, she collaborated with her HGTV co-host brother for a digital series.

Tarek El Moussa’s mom, Dominique, is no longer with his father, whose identity hasn’t been disclosed in public. At present, she is wedded to Robert, who affectionately refers to Tarek’s mother as “the love of my life” on Instagram.

Tarek made clear that his father hasn’t been referred to by the same name, but on a November 2017 Facebook update, he acknowledged that his elder reached the milestone of 70 years old.

“The relationship between a father and his children is so important. I was lucky enough to have a supportive and motivating father that made me believe I could accomplish anything in the world,” he captioned a picture of the family’s birthday celebrations for the patriarch. “I can say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my dad. I will take all the lessons I’ve learned from him and pass it on to my children.”

According to an interview with Country Living, Tarek shared that his father grew up as a Catholic in both Lebanon and Egypt in the Middle East before meeting his Belgian-born mother in Europe during his teenage years.
