"I walked up to (Anstead's) door, he gave me a huge hug. We hadn't hugged in years," Haack said in a confessional. "He just said, 'I'm so sorry for everything you're going through and I'm here for you no matter what you need.' And it was a very nice moment. We had a long talk after. And we decided to put all the BS aside and be good co-parents like Tarek and I are." Tarek El Moussa reacts to Ant Anstead 'Flip Off' appearance: 'Just have Josh come' The El Moussas were surprised when Haack revealed she chose Anstead to judge, with Tarek El Moussa quipping: "Why don't you just have Josh come and they can judge together?"

"Hudson is 5 now," he said of their only child together. "And in those five years, it's been really, really difficult. And that changed three months ago. The relationship that we have now is really, really important. And it's been a transformation." He continued: "As parents, it took us four and a half years to get to that point, which is really shameful. You and I will be connected forever because we have a kid."

Christina Haack 'knew' Josh Hall divorce was on the horizon as 'Flip Off' filming began
Christina Haack 'knew' Josh Hall divorce was on the horizon as 'Flip Off' filming began Show Caption Hide Caption Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose divorce after 8 months of marriage Billy Ray Cyrus filed for divorce from Firerose last month, just eight months after they tied the knot. unbranded - Entertainment Christina Haack had a feeling it would end this way. The HGTV star opened up about her striking divorce from Josh Hall, telling People she "kind of knew it was going to happen" as filming for her new show "The Flip Off" began. Her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa were also aware of the direction of Haack's marriage. "I'd been talking to both of them about it," Haack, 41, told the magazine in an interview published Wednesday. "They were aware that there were issues and it's something that we had to sidebar on in regards to how all of us were going to handle even filming with Josh because there was already some difficulty there. So they weren't surprised. And they were also very, very supportive." In May, it was announced that Haack would star with Hall in the HGTV show "The Flip Off" in a "Flip or Flop" spinoff competition series against the El Moussas. But in July, Haack and Hall, 44, both filed divorce documents in California, citing irreconcilable differences, according to filings obtained by USA TODAY. They had been married since October 2021. "The Flip Off" premiered on HGTV Wednesday, sans Hall. Continuing to do the show without Hall kept her preoccupied, she said. "I think it relieved that stress. The show was stressful in itself for different reasons not even having to do with our dynamic," she told People. "Just flipping a house that fast and I haven't flipped in a long time. So I think it was a good distraction." Christina Haack 'did not enjoy' filming with ex Josh Hall: 'It was not fun' The television star told Entertainment Tonight late last year that she did not have a good experience working with Hall on the new show. "When someone is insecure by you and doesn't like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything," she told the outlet in November. "I feel like I was not shining as bright to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that?" She added, "It was not fun, to be honest. I did not enjoy filming with him."

Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina Haack are open to flipping a house together — even if Tarek El Moussa isn't so sure
Christina Haack competes against Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa on HGTV's "The Flip Off." The trio told Business Insider they'd be open to flipping a house together. Heather Rae El Moussa said she'd be excited to collaborate with Haack from a design perspective. Nearly 10 years after they separated, the "Flip or Flop" stars Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack are reuniting on HGTV. "The Flip Off," which premieres Wednesday, stars the pair and Heather Rae El Moussa, Tarek El Moussa's wife. The show originally intended to pit the El Moussas against Haack and her husband, Josh Hall, to see who could make the most money from flipping a home. After Haack and Hall filed for divorce in July, Haack did most of the competition against the El Moussas solo. Though the show makes Haack and the El Moussas competitors, the trio told Business Insider they were open to working as a team in the future. Haack and Tarek El Moussa were married from 2009 to 2018, and they share two children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9. They also starred in "Flip or Flop" from 2013 to 2022. Tarek El Moussa married Heather, a former "Selling Sunset" star, in 2021. They share one son, Tristan, who will turn 2 on Friday. Haack has a son, Hudson, 5, from her relationship with her ex-husband Ant Anstead. "The Flip Off" marks the first on-screen collaboration between Haack and Tarek since "Flip or Flop" ended, though each has their own HGTV series now. Tarek and Heather star on "The Flipping El Moussas" together, and Haack has turned to spotlighting her renovations for clients in "Christina on the Coast" and "Christina in the Country." Despite all their experience with real estate and reality TV, competing against each other was new for Haack and Tarek. When asked if they'd consider returning to their roots and flipping a house as a trio on- or off-screen, Haack and Heather said they were interested, though Tarek wasn't quite as enthusiastic. He nodded at the question and said, "Hmm," prompting Haack to tell him to relax through laughter. "Every time someone asks this question, we're like, 'Yeah, that would be so fun,'" she said of herself and Heather. "This one's over here like, 'Oh, I don't know.'" "He's like, 'I don't know if I want to work with them,'" Heather said, mimicking her husband's voice. The trio bickered about the idea before Haack asked Tarek directly about teaming up. "If I was like, 'Hey, would you guys like to partner on a flip and we can split the profits,' you would say no?" Haack said. "I would say yes," Tarek said. "OK then, that's your answer," Haack told BI, laughing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HGTV (@hgtv) "Why am I getting in trouble right now? What happened?" Tarek said jokingly. Heather said she'd be excited to collaborate with Haack from a design perspective. "I think it would be fun to see Christina and I design together," she said, adding that she'd be interested to see if they could bring their ideas together. Only time will tell if the El Moussas and Haack combine their design forces, but the fact that it's even a possibility is a testament to how their relationship has grown in recent years. When "Flip or Flop" ended in March 2022, reports suggested that filming had become "too intimate" for Haack and Tarek. Two months later, photos appeared to show Haack and Heather fighting at one of Brayden's soccer games and a coach separating Hall and Tarek. Haack and Heather later released a joint statement saying they had resolved a "personal matter," and the pair put aside their differences when Brayden had a health emergency a few days later. The tension seemed like a distant memory when the trio talked to BI, laughing together as they discussed the series. Haack also told BI that filming the show without Hall ended up being a "major advantage" because he didn't have as much experience with flipping or reality TV as she does. "I think that without him it's just easier," she said. A representative for Hall didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. "The Flip Off" premieres on HGTV at 8 p.m. ET. You can also stream the show on Max. Read the original article on Business Insider
