Heather Rae El Moussa Addresses Friendship With Christina Haack
Being friends with your partner's ex doesn't always have to be weird, and the proof is in Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina Haack's inseparable bond. Though Heather is married to Christina's ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, the pair has developed a close friendship over the years.
On July 9, the Selling Sunset alum posted a sweet tribute for Christina's birthday on her Instagram Stories and shut critics of their friendship down in the process.
'It's crazy how far we've come & most will never understand how we are friends,' Heather wrote. 'I'm grateful for our relationship & our ability to rise above the noise! Cheers to you & can't wait to celebrate you! Xo.'
While things are all good between the trio now, they weren't always on the best of terms. Christina—who was married to Tarek until 2018 and shares two children with him—got into a heated argument with Heather during a soccer game in 2022.
At the time, a source told E! News, 'Heather and Christina haven't been getting along lately and there's been overall tension between both couples. Christina feels Heather oversteps her boundaries when she parents her children and Heather doesn't feel like she gets enough respect from Christina.'
They've worked out their differences in favor of a smooth co-parenting experience since then. In January 2025, Christina told E! News, 'We've had our ups and downs, but mostly we've been great co-parents throughout everything. All three of us love these kids more than anything, so we've always made them a priority.'
These days, the Flip-Off co-stars are so close that they even trade clothes. Back in February, Christina wore one of Heather's stunning gowns as she hard-launched her relationship with Christopher Larocca on her Instagram Stories. 'Thanks for lending me the gorgeous dress @theheatherraeelmoussa,' Christina captioned her post.
Heather originally wore the embellished red dress for holiday portraits with Tarek, which she shared on social media in December 2024.
Love that they flipped their relationship dynamic into something special!
