Christina Haack and Heather El Moussa Have a ‘Therapy Session’ About Tarek: WATCH

Christina Haack and Heather El Moussa are having a heart-to-heart! 

The HGTV stars have been having fun acting in spoof videos on social media ahead of their upcoming series, The Flip Off, which also stars Heather’s husband and Christina’s ex, Tarek El Moussa, 43. 

In their latest skit, Christina, 41, and Heather, 37, sit down for a “therapy session” at Christina’s Newport Beach home to discuss some of Tarek’s problematic behavior they’ve both experienced over the years. The Instagram Reel was shared jointly by Heather, Tarek and Christina on Monday, Jan. 20.

“So Heather, what brings you in today?” Christina asks.

Heather jokingly responds, “Christina, it’s Tarek. He’s driving me absolutely crazy. I just don’t know what to do at this point. He farts under the covers, and he holds my head under. I can’t deal with it anymore. Did he ever do those things to you?” 

The Christina on the Coast star jokes back, “Sometimes he would throw them at me.” 

“He does that to me too. Every single day, I don’t know what personality I’m going to get,” Heather says. “He yells at me, and then everything’s fine two minutes later.”

After Heather says that “it’s been almost six years of this” and Tarek has only gotten “15% better,” Christina tries to console her by looking at the situation in a more positive light.

“Look at what the next six years would be. Another, I would say, 30% better,” she says, followed by Heather asking, “Can I last that long, Christina? You lasted what, nine years, was it?”

Christina responds, “Yeah, but I will tell you this – the grass isn’t greener on the other side. So look, he’s gotten 15% better, so there’s probably another 30%. By the time that you’re 60, he’s going to be really nice. There’s hope.”

She continues to reflect: “I feel like all men are big kids, though. I mean, I had the cargo shorts, stinky sandal version,” and Heather chimes in, “In the same black shirt every day?”

Tarek then bursts into the room, startling Christina. Heather tells her husband, “We’re having a therapy session. About you.”

“I told Heather to stick it out,” Christina notes to her ex, before telling Heather, “You got this girl.” The skit ends with Christina giving Heather a big hug as she warns Tarek to “behave.”

The trio’s most recent skit comes nearly a week before the premiere of their HGTV series, The Flip Off, out Wednesday, Jan. 29. The house flipping showdown will follow Heather and Tarek as they compete together against Christina and her “trusted team,” according to the network. 

This is the first time Christina, Tarek and Heather are starring in a show together. Christina and Tarek previously co-hosted their show, Flip or Flop, which ended in March 2022. The pair — who share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, together — continued to film the series for several seasons even after their dramatic 2016 split. 

While Heather and Christina didn’t always get along, the pair have since made amends and now consider each other friends. Christina told PEOPLE in July 2024 that she and Heather have been “close for a while now” and that she thinks “she’s an amazing stepmom.”

The Flip Off was originally supposed to star Christina’s estranged husband Josh Hall as her partner before their July 2024 split. While HGTV hasn’t addressed how involved Hall will be in the show post-split, they did remove him from new promotional photos for the series that were released in December 2024. 

The Flip Off premieres Wednesday, Jan. 29 on HGTV.
