Christina Haack’s Boyfriend Breaks Silence on Their Secret Romance Reveal

by

Christina Haack’s new boyfriend Christopher Larocca is speaking out.

The pair, who started seeing each other following the HGTV star’s split from her former spouse Josh Hall in July, revealed the account of the day their romance went public, acknowledging that it was far from a classic talebook love story.

On an impromptu visit to a dress store in Los Angeles, they decided to experience a tasseography session – a form of fortune-telling that analyzes patterns in coffee residue. However, the prediction didn’t yield the desired outcome as Christina later explained during their joint interview on Radio Andy on March 27, “I wasn’t represented in Chris’ cup.

Later on, Christopher hypothesized that the poor reading results might be due to him experiencing a particularly tough day.

The communications executive explained that he had numerous tasks to handle that day. He found himself constantly looking around, trying to keep up with everything happening.

On that very day, it was Christina, aged 41, who disclosed that their relationship had become public knowledge, a revelation that led Christopher to discuss the impact of the sudden surge of attention on him.

He clarified, “There were photographers pestering me, journalists phoning me, and numerous other matters demanding my attention. The absolute last thing I desired on that particular day was to engage in a coffee reading at a boutique in Beverly Hills.

As Christina, who is blessed with children Taylor (14), Brayden (9) from my former marriage with Tarek El Moussa and Hudson (5) from my relationship with Ant Anstead, I announced my newfound romance with Christopher in February by sharing a collection of sweet photos of us together on a private plane, making it Instagram official.

She wrote, “Certain plane journeys seem extremely challenging,” accompanied by photos at that moment, labeling the location as “Heaven.

It appears that the TV personality is still basking in bliss. She posted a love-filled picture of herself and Christopher hand-in-hand at the beach on her Instagram Stories on March 23, with the caption “You never stop treating me special.

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

After their separation, they both took on the role of shared parents for their daughter, who Christina once characterized as possessing wisdom beyond her years. At one moment she could engage in profound discussions about life, only to return to acting like a typical child shortly thereafter.

She remarked about Taylor, ‘Her unique talent lies in engaging anyone, regardless of the setting.’ She’s lively, intelligent, active, cheerful, and never fails to keep us guessing,” she said.

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

Beyond their eldest child Taylor, they’ve jointly raised Brayden following their separation. Previously, Tarek had referred to their son as a bundle of energy and the sweetest boy with an enormous heart.

Tarek expressed, “There’s no way to express just how radiant this boy makes my day.” He added that being his and Tay’s father is a true blessing for him, and watching him grow fills him with immense joy, making him the most contented father on earth.

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

In 2019, Christina and her partner Ant, who shares daughter Amelie and son Archie with his ex-wife Louise Storey, became parents to a new addition, their son Hudson, for the first time together.

In the fall of 2020, I found myself parting ways with my spouse after barely two years of marriage. Nine months down the line, our divorce became officially complete.

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

On September 6, 2019, Christina and Ant joyfully welcomed their newborn son into their lives. The little one weighed approximately 7 lbs 7 oz at birth and was 19.5 inches in length.

Even though they had agreed on joint legal and physical custody of Hudson when their divorce was finalized in June 2021, Ant filed for full custody in April 2022, citing in court documents that his ex-partner spends approximately nine full days a month with their child.

In the subsequent December, a mutual understanding was established between the former partners, as indicated by court records obtained by TopMob News, that they would both retain shared legal and physical custody of Hudson.

In July 2019, Tarek crossed paths with the star from ‘Selling Sunset’ at a marina in Newport Beach, California. Their boats were docked side by side, and they happened to be celebrating Independence Day together. A few weeks later, they were seen sharing a kiss on a yacht. In August, Tarek openly acknowledged their relationship to TopMob News, stating, “I never thought I’d use this term again, but Heather Rae is my girlfriend, officially.

In July 2020, the pair got engaged, and they officially tied the knot as husband and wife on October 23, 2021, during a heartfelt outdoor wedding ceremony situated close to Santa Barbara, California, where they exchanged their vows.

Heather is often called the “stand-in mother” for Tarek’s elder children Taylor and Brayden. She once shared with TopMob News that she feels as though she has two children of her own. “I’m effectively raising Tarek’s offspring, and we share custody 50%,” she said. “I am an excellent substitute mom. I absolutely love those kids. I care for them as if they were my own.

On January 31st, 2023, Tarek and Heather joyfully welcomed their newborn son into the world. At birth, he weighed a healthy 7 lbs 7 oz.

According to Heather, although Tarek was initially intended to be named Tristan, his parents ultimately chose the name Tarek instead.

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

2021 saw me, a die-hard fan, thrilled to witness the start of something new in the life of my beloved idol, Christina. After parting ways with her second spouse Ant, she found herself in a blossoming romance with Josh. The duo decided to step into the limelight together that July, and Christina shared that they had been enjoying each other’s company for several strong months prior.

In the spring, as the Flip or Flop star describes, she encountered Josh, a real estate professional, at a point when she was not in a panic or survival mode. She had taken a break from social interactions, enlisted a spiritual guide, and used a Bufo toad’s secretion to help her rejuvenate her mind.

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

It wasn’t until July 15, 2024 that the exact wedding date of the couple became known when Josh initiated a divorce, stating irreconcilable differences as the cause of their separation.

On the July 11, 2024 episode of “Christina on the Coast,” the process of renovating her childhood home was revealed, a fact that until then she had kept relatively hidden, primarily showing brief glimpses of her parents in their role as grandparents.

In the year 2019, she mentioned on a post on Instagram that during Taylor’s annual Christmas concert at her school, both our families, hers and Tarek’s, join together to enjoy the performance.

Several individuals expressed their appreciation for this – I understand that many divorced couples, such as Tarek’s parents, also practice this, and it genuinely makes things simpler for everyone,” she had written earlier. “Moreover, Taylor’s face brightens when she sees us all seated together in the same row, cheering her on.

While Josh’s connection with Christina brought him under public scrutiny, his sisters had already garnered fame during the 2000s.

Stacie, often referred to as “Stacie the Bartender” by some fans, became well-known for being the recipient of Spencer Pratt’s flirtatious advances on the show “The Hills”. She is also recognized from her appearance on “Vanderpump Rules”, notably in season three, where she served as one of Scheana Shay’s bridesmaids.

Regarding Jessica, she was not only a former Playboy model but also frequently appeared on various shows such as The Hills, The Girls Next Door, Kendra, Kendra on Top, and Kendra Sells Hollywood. These appearances were in support of her close friend, Kendra Wilkinson.

 

Angelique, Tarek’s elder sister, runs Latitude 33 Hair Artistry in Anaheim, California. She bought one of the houses that Tarek and Christina had flipped on an episode of Flip or Flop back in 2014. In 2019, she teamed up with her HGTV co-host brother for a digital series.

Tarek El Moussa’s mother, Dominique, is no longer with his father (whose name Tarek hasn’t disclosed publicly). Presently, she is married to Robert, who refers to Tarek’s mom as “my lifetime love” on Instagram.

In his November 2017 Facebook post, Tarek acknowledged that his older companion had turned 70.

The bond between a father and his kids is truly valuable. I consider myself fortunate to have had a nurturing and inspiring father who instilled in me the belief that I could achieve anything life has to offer, as evidenced by this photo commemorating our family’s birthday celebration for him. To be clear, I wouldn’t be where I am today without my dad’s support. I intend to carry forward all the wisdom he imparted onto me and share it with my own children.

In an interview with Country Living, Tarek shared that his father was brought up as a Catholic in the Middle East, specifically in Lebanon and later in Egypt, before meeting his Belgian-born mother in Europe during his teenage years.
