Christina Haackdidn’t flip or flop this moment to celebrate her love life on an island. 

To start the new year, the star of Flip Off shared photos from her romantic Hawaiian vacation with boyfriend Chris Larocca.

“Aloha 2026,” Christina, 42, wrote on her Jan. 18 Instagram post. “Hands down my fav January yet.” 

It was so lovely seeing Christina and Chris enjoying their getaway! They really took in the beautiful scenery together. After snapping some photos by the pool, Christina shared the gorgeous wooded view from their balcony – it looked so peaceful! And of course, she celebrated with a stunning purple dress and a bottle of champagne. It all looked absolutely perfect!

This trip follows a recent vacation to Utah with Christina’s former spouse, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa. The group, including both of their children – Brayden, 10, and Christina’s son Hudson, 6, with her ex Ant Anstead – enjoyed time together, even with minimal snow, showing they can still create happy memories in cold weather.

Christina shared on Instagram on January 3rd that her blended family had a wonderful trip. She thanked Brian Claypool for letting them stay in his beautiful home and said 2026 is off to a great start. Christina is also mom to 15-year-old Taylor with Tarek El Moussa.

When Christina Hall isn’t traveling with her partner, she loves sharing stories about how their relationship began. For their first anniversary last October, she reminisced about how Chris charmed her when they first met in California.

She shared a photo from over a year ago on Instagram, thanking Chris for his consistent kindness, generosity, and respect. She described the past year as a period of mutual learning, growth, open communication, and navigating disagreements, always ending with reconciliation.

She finished her emotional speech by saying, “I’m so grateful for the day we met at that Mexican restaurant in Newport. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

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

Even after their divorce, Christina and her ex-partner continued to raise their daughter together. Christina has described her daughter as a remarkably mature child, capable of having profound conversations one moment and acting like a typical kid the next.

She described Taylor as someone who can easily strike up a conversation with anyone, and praised her as fun, intelligent, athletic, and always full of energy. Taylor also keeps everyone engaged and surprised.

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

Besides their oldest daughter, Taylor, Tarek and his ex-wife have continued to raise their son, Brayden, together. Tarek has often said Brayden is full of energy and incredibly kind-hearted.

Honestly, this kid just lights up my life! Every single day with him and Tay feels like a gift, and watching him grow up? It’s the absolute best feeling in the world. I seriously couldn’t ask for more – being their dad makes me the happiest man alive!

After separating from Tarek, Christina began dating Ant, a television host from England, in October 2017. They publicly confirmed their relationship in January 2018, which was also the month her divorce from Tarek was completed. The couple then married in a winter wedding at their home in Newport Beach, California, on December 22, 2018.

Christina and Ant are parents to son Hudson, who was born in 2019. Ant also has two children, Amelie and Archie, from his previous marriage to Louise Storey.

The couple was married for just under two years and announced they were separating in September 2020. Their divorce became official nine months after that.

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

Christina and Ant had a son on September 6, 2019. He weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 19.5 inches long at birth.

When Ant and his ex-wife finalized their divorce in June 2021, they agreed to share legal and physical custody of their son, Hudson. However, in April 2022, Ant requested sole custody, stating in legal filings that his ex-wife only spends about nine days each month with their child.

The former couple settled their arrangements in December, agreeing to continue sharing both legal and physical custody of their son, Hudson, according to court records obtained by TopMob News.

Tarek and Heather Rae Young first met on the Fourth of July in 2019 while celebrating on boats docked near each other in Newport Beach, California. Later that month, they were seen kissing on a yacht, and Tarek confirmed their relationship to TopMob News in August, proudly stating that Heather Rae was officially his girlfriend.

The couple announced their engagement in July 2020 and married on October 23, 2021, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony near Santa Barbara, California.

Heather often describes herself as a “bonus mom” to Tarek’s children, Taylor and Brayden. She’s said she feels like she already has two kids, explaining that she helps raise them half the time and loves them as if they were her own. She considers herself a very involved and loving figure in their lives.

Tarek and Heather’s son was born on January 31, 2023, weighing 7 pounds and 7 ounces.

Heather explained that Tarek was originally intended to be named Tristan, but his parents ultimately decided on the name Tarek instead.

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

After divorcing her second husband, Ant, Christina started seeing Josh in 2021. They announced their relationship publicly in July, sharing that they’d already been dating for several months.

The Flip or Flop star says she met Josh, a real estate agent, that spring after a period of personal growth. She explained she was feeling calm and grounded, having stepped away from social media, worked with a spiritual coach, and even tried a Bufo toad ceremony to help “reset” her mind.

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

The couple’s wedding date remained private until Josh filed for divorce on July 15, 2024, stating they had differences that couldn’t be resolved.

The pair finalized their divorce in August 2025.

Before the July 11, 2024 episode of Christina on the Coast featured the renovation of her childhood home, Christina kept her family history largely to herself, mostly showing her parents in their role as grandparents.

She mentioned in a 2019 Instagram post that their families—hers and Tarek’s—all enjoy watching Taylor perform at her school’s yearly Christmas concert.

She shared that several people had commented on how well this arrangement was working, noting that many divorced parents – including her ex-husband Tarek’s parents – do the same thing, and it truly makes things simpler for everyone. She also added that their daughter Taylor gets really excited when she sees them all together, supporting her.

While Josh became well-known through his relationship with Christina, his sisters had already achieved fame in the early 2000s.

Stacie, known to some viewers as “Stacie the Bartender,” gained recognition as the object of Spencer Pratt’s attention during her time on The Hills. She also made appearances on Vanderpump Rules, particularly in season three where she was a bridesmaid at Scheana Shay’s wedding.

Jessica also appeared on several reality TV shows, including The Hills and various series featuring Kendra Wilkinson, such as The Girls Next Door, Kendra, Kendra on Top, and Kendra Sells Hollywood, to support her close friend.

 

Angelique, Tarek’s older sister, owns Latitude 33 Hair Artistry in Anaheim, California. She bought a house that Tarek and Christina had renovated in 2014, featured on an episode of Flip or Flop. Later, in 2019, she collaborated with her brother, the HGTV host, on a digital series.

Tarek El Moussa’s mother, Dominique, is divorced from his father, whose identity she and Tarek have kept private. She is now married to Robert, who often expresses his deep affection for her on Instagram, calling her “the love of my life.”

Tarek has always kept his father’s identity private, but in a Facebook post from November 2017, he revealed that his father had celebrated his 70th birthday.

He shared a heartwarming message about his father, emphasizing the profound impact a dad can have on his children’s lives. Posting a photo from their family’s birthday celebration, he expressed gratitude for his father’s unwavering support and encouragement, saying he wouldn’t be where he is today without him. He plans to carry on the valuable lessons his father taught him and pass them down to his own children.

Tarek shared with Country Living that his father grew up Catholic in Lebanon and Egypt. His parents met in Europe when they were both teenagers; his mother is originally from Belgium.
