Heather Rae El Moussa Jokes About “Drama” Amid Christina Haack Divorce

by

Heather Rae El Moussa knows her blended family can bring the drama.

Just a while ago, before Christina Haack officially ended her divorce with Josh Hall, who made headlines with his comments on the breakup, the founder of Heather Rae Essentials playfully acknowledged the frequent dramas associated with her circle.

In a TikTok video posted on August 23rd, featuring music from the theme song of “The White Lotus’s” first season, a group consisting of Heather, Tarek, Christina, and her new partner Christopher Larocca, came together to celebrate Tarek’s birthday. Dressed in swim attire, they were enjoying themselves poolside.

On the edge of their circle, with a look of suspicion, Heather penned, “Who’s going to ignite the domestic turmoil this time?

She also quipped in the caption, “Plot twist: the drama never showed up. Or did it?!”

Three days following Heather’s comment about the group’s penchant for dramatics, Christina reached a significant point in her divorce: a judge formally approved her settlement agreement with Josh, an ordeal they both acknowledged as tough and costly.

ultimately, Christina consented to give Josh a payment of $300,000 (equalization) from the sale proceeds of a Nashville property, an installment of $100,000 in September 2024, and $40,000 for legal fees as attorney costs, according to documents obtained by TopMob News on August 28. Furthermore, they retained separate ownership of their respective properties and vehicles.

Following the conclusion of the divorce, Josh marked the occasion with some candid remarks about the TV personality from Flip or Flop.

Looking forward to enjoying my Labor Day weekend in the genuine world,” he posted on Instagram, Aug. 28. “At last, officially divorced and a man with newfound freedom. Throughout my life, I’ve worked diligently, held onto what’s mine, and declined assistance, and I intend to continue living this way.

The realtor concluded, ‘From now on, avoid tying yourself with someone who craves continuous public recognition and tends to exploit your personal issues for attention.’

Indeed, a source close to Josh confirmed to TopMob News, “He couldn’t be happier.”

TopMob News has reached out to a rep for Christina for comment and has not yet heard back.

Read on for a deeper dive into the blended family of Christina and Heather. 

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

After their separation, they both remained committed to jointly raising their daughter. This young lady, whom Christina refers to as an “old soul,” is capable of discussing profound topics one moment, and the next, she reverts to acting like any other child.

She pointed out that Taylor’s exceptional talent lies in engaging anyone, regardless of the setting,” she noted. “She’s lively, intelligent, sporty, full of joy, and never fails to surprise us.

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

Apart from their eldest child Taylor, they’ve both been managing to co-parent Brayden following their divorce. Previously, Tarek referred to their son as an energetic bundle, filled with kindness and a vast heart.

As a devoted fan, I simply can’t express enough just how radiant this young lad makes my days feel! Being his father, Tarek and Tay’s, is nothing short of a blessing. Witnessing his growth and development fills me with an unparalleled joy that makes me the proudest dad anyone could ever imagine.

After announcing her separation from Tarek around a year prior, Christina began dating Ant, a British TV host, in October 2017. They made their relationship official in January 2018 – the same month that marked the finalization of Christina’s divorce from Tarek – and exchanged vows at their Newport Beach, California home during a winter-themed wedding on December 22, 2018.

Christina and Anthony, who shares daughter Amelie and son Archie with his former wife Louise Storey, had their first child together, a son named Hudson, in the year 2019.

I’ve been a devoted follower of this dynamic duo, and just when my heart was filled with hope, they tied the knot barely two years ago, in September 2020, I was taken aback by their shocking announcement – a separation! Nine long months later, their divorce became final. The rollercoaster of emotions continues to churn within me as I eagerly await what’s next for them.

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

On September 6, 2019, Christina and Ant became parents to a newborn son. The little one was born weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and measuring 19.5 inches in length.

Even though they both had agreed on joint legal and physical custody of Hudson when their divorce was finalized in June 2021, Ant later filed for full custody in April 2022, stating in court papers that his former partner spends only about nine full days with their child every month.

In the month of December that followed, a mutual understanding was established between the former partners regarding their shared legal and physical guardianship of Hudson, as indicated in records acquired by TopMob News.

On the Fourth of July in 2019, Tarek ran into a star from ‘Selling Sunset’ at a marina in Newport Beach, California. Their boats were docked side by side and they were both celebrating on the water. Later that month, pictures emerged of them kissing on a yacht. In August, Tarek confirmed to TopMob News that they were dating, stating, “I never thought I’d use this phrase again, but Heather Rae is my girlfriend, officially.

In July 2020, the pair got engaged, and they tied the knot on October 23, 2021, in a heartfelt outdoor wedding ceremony situated near Santa Barbara, California. During the celebration, they shared their promises to each other.

Heather is frequently known as Tarek’s older children’s “bonus mother,” with Taylor and Brayden being the specific kids mentioned. She once shared with TopMob News that she already feels like a mom of two, since she helps raise Tarek’s offspring half the time. She takes great pride in being a wonderful bonus mom, cherishing those children dearly, and treating them as if they were her own.

On January 31, 2023, Tarek and Heather happily welcomed their newborn son into the world. At birth, this little guy tipped the scales at 7 pounds and 7 ounces.

Heather mentioned that he should have been called Tristan, as originally planned, but his parents ultimately named him Tarek instead.

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

Following the end of her marriage to Ant in 2021, Christina started dating Josh around the same year. They made their relationship official in July, and Christina shared that they had been seeing each other for a while, about four months or so.

As per the star of the show “Flip or Flop”, she encountered Josh, a real estate professional, that spring, at a period in her life when she wasn’t experiencing fear or fight-or-flight response. She had decided to take a break from social media, hired a spiritual guide, and used Bufo toad venom to help reset her mental state.

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

The specific date of their wedding remained uncertain until it was revealed that Josh filed for divorce on July 15, 2024, stating irreconcilable differences as the cause of their separation.

The pair finalized their divorce in August 2025.

During the July 11, 2024 episode of “Christina on the Coast,” it was revealed that her remodeling project for her childhood home had been ongoing. Prior to this revelation, she had generally kept her family background private, mainly sharing brief glimpses of her parents in a more casual role as grandparents.

Last year, she posted on Instagram that during Taylor’s school’s annual Christmas concert, both our families – hers and Tarek’s – gathered together to watch the performance.

She mentioned that several individuals appreciated how wonderful this was, noting that many divorced couples (such as Tarek’s parents) also do the same thing, and it truly simplifies things for everyone. Furthermore, she added that Taylor’s face brightens whenever she witnesses us all seated together in the same row, cheering her on.

Despite Josh gaining notoriety through his relationship with Christina, his sisters had already achieved fame during the 2000s (the aughts).

Stacie, often referred to as “Stacie the Bartender” by her fans, was well-known for being the focus of Spencer Pratt’s advances during his time on “The Hills.” Additionally, she made an appearance on “Vanderpump Rules,” most notably in season three where she served as one of Scheana Shay’s bridesmaids.

Regarding Jessica, the ex-Playboy model has additionally starred on shows like The Hills, The Girls Next Door, Kendra, Kendra on Top, and Kendra Sells Hollywood. Her presence on these shows is primarily due to her friendship with Kendra Wilkinson.

 

Tarek’s older sister, Angelique, operates Latitude 33 Hair Artistry in Anaheim, California. In an episode of “Flip or Flop” from 2014, she bought one of the homes that Tarek and Christina had flipped. She also collaborated with her HGTV host brother on a digital series in 2019.

Tarek El Moussa’s mother, Dominique, is no longer with his father, whose identity Tarek hasn’t revealed in public. At present, she is married to Robert, who refers to Dominique as “my lifetime love” on social media, specifically Instagram.

Tarek didn’t use the same surname as his father, but in a Facebook post from November 2017, he acknowledged that his elder had celebrated his 70th birthday.

The bond between a father and his kids is truly invaluable. It was fortunate for me to have a father who was both encouraging and inspiring, making me think that I could achieve anything this world has to offer. He posted a photo commemorating our family’s birthday celebration for him with this caption. In essence, I owe much of my success to my dad’s support, and I plan on carrying his teachings forward as I raise my own children.

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