In an emotional sneak peek of her upcoming show The Flip Off, Christina Haack opens up about the breakdown of her marriage with Josh Hall and the crucial role her children played in her decision to leave. Set to air on January 29, the episode features a heartfelt conversation with her first husband, Tarek El Moussa, who offers support and understanding as Christina reflects on the emotional toll of her relationships. This candid moment marks a rare glimpse into Christina’s personal struggles and growth, offering fans an intimate look at her journey.

A Heartfelt Conversation with Tarek El Moussa

As Tarek visits Christina at her Newport Beach home, he notices her distress and gently asks, “You good?” Christina responds, “No… Josh and I officially split up.” Josh Hall, 44, initiated divorce proceedings in July 2024 after almost three years of marriage. The couple’s separation has been highly publicized, and their ongoing legal battle has kept fans and the media closely watching. Christina, originally set to co-star with Josh in The Flip Off, continued filming without him after their split.

In the emotional clip, Christina opens up to Tarek about the painful breakdown of her marriage with Josh. “We had a blow up… middle fingers in my face,” she shares, adding, “Things with Josh have been bad for a long time.”

The Kids’ Heartfelt Request

The most heartbreaking part of Christina’s story revolves around her children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9. Christina reveals that her kids played a pivotal role in her decision to leave Josh. “The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?” she shares, clearly emotional.

As she opens up further, Christina says, “I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time and I just can’t get out of it.” With tears in her eyes, she reflects on how difficult the past few years have been: “Everything since like 2016 has been so hard and so horrible. It’s really taken a really bad toll on me.”

Tarek and Christina’s Complicated History

Christina’s turbulent personal life is no secret. Her first marriage to Tarek, which lasted seven years, ended dramatically in December 2016 after Tarek left their home with a firearm and sought treatment for addiction. Despite their split, the couple continued to work together on Flip or Flop for several seasons, navigating their co-parenting relationship. Over the years, Tarek and Christina have generally maintained a positive relationship, with Tarek expressing in January that their connection is “better than it’s been ever, since the separation.”

A Candid Moment of Reflection

In the Flip Off clip, Christina apologizes to Tarek, saying, “I’m really sorry for s— too. I really am. I just want you to know.” Tarek, also feeling emotional, responds, “I understand that feeling of being a little bit lost. And I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this.”

This heartfelt conversation is the first time either Christina or Tarek has addressed their split so candidly on screen, offering fans a rare glimpse into their emotional journeys and the challenges they’ve faced in their personal lives.
