What’s in a name? A lot if you’re Christina Haack as a popular staple of HGTV thanks to shows like Flip or Flop, Christina on the Coast, and the current hit The Flip Off. It wasn’t until recently that the real estate investor and television personality set the record straight after the rotation of last names and what will stick. Haack has been married three times including her network counterpart Tarek El Moussa, Ant Anstead, and most recently, Josh Hall. 

The clarification came during press for The Flip Off, which features ex El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae in a fun-spirited competition to see them put their flipping skills to the test to see who can secure the biggest financial gain when it’s all said and done. With the tumultuous marriage between Christina and Josh ending in divorce, Tarek asked the burning question during a spot with ET about how Christina wanted to be addressed.

He asked, “Do you go by  El Moussa, Hall, Haack, or Anstead?” She responded, “Haack.” Tarek responded with, “Okay, so you’re back to the original.” Christina told him that it has been “Haack since ‘08,” and, “that it’s here to stay.” Tarek isn’t so sure about that saying, “Okay, we’ll see.”

Haack has changed her last name every time she was married and then went back following the split. Last month, she marked being “officially a Haack” with a photo on Instagram stories of the official social security paperwork. She joked that her Wikipedia entry needed to be changed as the paperwork listed her as married twice. Haack is certainly keeping everyone on their toes when it comes to the name game. Perhaps, she should consider just using Christina. It works for Cher. 

Beyond her personal life, which has become tabloid fodder, Haack has a lot to celebrate professionally. HGTV just announced that The Flip Off delivered the network’s highest-rated freshman series premiere among Adults 25-54 since September 2022 with 4 million total viewers across linear and streaming when it premiered on January 29. The show has also delivered in several demographics and metrics. Across social media, The Flip Off has also generated 20 million impressions and 17 million video views in January alone across HGTV’s digital platforms.

    I think it's a shame that one comment said get her off that she's a hack. She is so talented and beautiful and just chose to love and got burnt but tarek even said a lot was on him for what happened with their marriage. Please just be kind and admit that she has many skills within the industry especially her designing skills. It's admirable that they can all get along and raise their children in a happy environment. You go Christina!

    I’ve always thought Christina ran the show. I’m distressed by her need to turn to cheap sexy clothing and pushed up breasts. Christina, remain true to yourself. You have mad talent. Tarek is acting surly with a huge chip on his shoulder, bragging over and over that he is the world’s best flipper. He doth protest too much.

    What she did to Ant was unforgivable. I won't watch her shows.

      Ant is not only watching her show, but guest starring in it. He forgave her. Let it go.
