Christina Haack, Tarek El Moussa Have Blended Family Christmas Eve


Exes Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa appeared to keep it amicable over the Christmas holiday.

Haack, 41, shared a glimpse of her Christmas Eve celebration via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 25, in which she and sister Carly posed together in the driveway. In other images, Haack’s sons Brayden and Hudson were all smiles in front of a decorated Christmas tree.

“Cute grandmas,” Haack captioned a follow-up slide, sharing an image of her mother smiling with El Moussa’s mom at the buffet table.

Haack and El Moussa, 43, were married between 2009 and 2016. They share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9. Haack also shares Hudson, 3, with ex Ant Anstead, while Tarek and wife Heather Rae El Moussa share son Tristan, 19 months.

Tarek and Haack, who used to cohost HGTV’s Flip or Flop for 10 seasons, now amicably coparent Taylor and Brayden. Tarek and Heather, 37, recently told Us Weekly how they were splitting the 2024 holidays.

“We usually have [Taylor and Brayden on] Christmas day. She has them [on] Christmas Eve, but [this year] I think we’re gonna spend Christmas Eve together,” Heather exclusively told Us in October. “[For] one of the first times.”

Haack and Tarek each celebrated Christmas morning separately. Taylor and Brayden kicked off the occasion with their mother, later meeting up with the Flipping El Moussa stars and their brother Tristan.

“Well… we don’t always get the best photos when you have a crazy toddler, sometimes this is as good as it’s gonna get! We love our little family so much,” Heather wrote via Instagram, sharing pajama selfies. “Happy Holidays to everyone.”

Haack dropped a “like” on the upload and commented with a pair of heart emojis.

In addition to seamlessly raising kids together, Tarek and Haack are also set to reunite on HGTV for the network’s The Flip Off alongside Heather. (The El Moussas will compete against Haack on a variety of renovation projects.)

“I never, ever in my life thought this show would happen,” Tarek told Us in October. “Sometimes I’m sitting there and I’ll have a moment where I look over at Heather, my wife, and I look over to the other side, and there’s my ex-wife, Christina. And I wonder, ‘How did I get here?’”

Haack was supposed to team up with then-husband Joshua Hall before they split earlier this summer.

“Things with Josh have been bad for a long time,” she told Tarek in a preview for The Flip Off. “The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around? I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time and I just can’t get out of it. Everything since, like, 2016 has been so hard and so horrible. It’s really taken a really bad toll on me.”

The Flip Off premieres on HGTV in January 2025.
