Christina Haack Claims Tarek El Moussa ‘Likes It’ When She and His Wife Heather Gang Up on Him

Christina will “start picking on me, and I’m thinking Heather’s going to jump in and defend me. Next thing I know they’re standing together,” Tarek explained

Christina Haack and Heather Rae El Moussa aren’t afraid to team up against Tarek El Moussa.

During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday, Jan. 28, the trio discussed their dynamic in their upcoming show The Flip Off, which sees married couple Tarek and Heather take on his ex wife, Haack, in a house flipping competition.

“We pick on [Tarek] a lot,” Heather shared. And Tarek agreed, “Yeah they do, which is weird.”

When host Jennifer Hudson asked Tarek how he managed working with both women, the HGTV star, 43, admitted that he wasn’t sure how he did.

“… The second all three of us get together, [Haack will] start picking on me, and I’m thinking Heather’s going to jump in and defend me. Next thing I know they’re standing together picking on me,” he said.

Haack chimed in “He likes it.”

Heather explained that she and Haack “don’t fight,” so they “pick on” Tarek together “because he’s an easy target.”

When describing the competitive banter among the trio, the Christina on the Coast star deemed it “friendly competition” or “friendly fighting.”

Hudson then asked the trio about how they managed “coparenting” and “doing the show together.”

“The point is it’s better for the kids when everyone’s getting along, and we genuinely are. And we’re genuinely having so much fun doing this show,” Haack said. Tarek shares daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, with Haack and son Tristan, 1, with Heather.

“I feel like the kids love it that we’re doing a show together, and they can see their parents all working together,” Heather added. “They love it. They’re very supportive.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Haack got candid about competing in the series solo following her split from her third husband Josh Hall, who was originally meant to be her teammate. Hall filed for divorce from Haack on July 15, 2024 after nearly three years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

“It’s so much easier without somebody else bothering me,” Haack said. “I mean, I don’t have to ask approval from anyone, no one’s weighing me down.”

Hudson then asked her, “So you don’t feel any disadvantages at all?” Haack replied with a big smile, “No, I think I have an advantage.”

Haack has since moved on with new boyfriend Christopher Larocca PEOPLE confirmed on Jan. 11. PEOPLE also exclusively revealed that Hall had since moved on with model Stephanie Gabrys earlier this month.

He was thrown out into a blizzard with nothing but a war dog—three days later, they uncovered $195 million buried under a frozen cabin no one believed existed. Caleb Mercer had survived Afghanistan. A helicopter crash in the Hindu Kush. A six-hour swim through black water with blood in his boot. But what almost broke him… was standing in his dead wife’s parents’ driveway while snow hammered down, listening to his father-in-law erase him from the family like he’d never existed. “You’ve worn out your welcome.” The words didn’t echo. They cut. Behind them, the Whitcomb estate glowed warm and untouched—like grief had never stepped inside. In front of them, Caleb stood with everything he had left packed into two bags… and one loyal companion. Ranger. A battle-scarred Belgian Malinois who had faced real war—so he didn’t flinch at this kind of cruelty. His eyes never left the man who just threw his handler into a storm. Six weeks. That’s how long Caleb lasted after the funeral. Six weeks of polite sympathy… turning into quiet disgust. Nora had been gone nine months. Gone in seconds—crushed metal on a rain-slick highway. And now her family was done pretending. “There’s cash,” the old man said, tossing an envelope into the snow. “Enough to disappear.” Caleb didn’t even look at it. Because in that moment… he understood something. This wasn’t grief. This was relief. So he picked up his bag. Clipped Ranger’s leash. And walked straight into the storm. No plan. No home. No one left. Just a soldier… and a dog who refused to leave him. Three days later, deep in the frozen wilderness outside Bozeman, Ranger stopped dead in the snow—growling at something buried beneath the ice. At first, Caleb thought it was a body. He was wrong. What they uncovered beneath that abandoned, half-collapsed cabin… would drag names out of shadows, expose secrets worth killing for—and reveal a fortune no one was supposed to find. $195 million. And suddenly… the man his in-laws threw away wasn’t lost anymore. He was dangerous. Full story in the comments.
