Tarek El Moussa Shares His Thoughts On Christina Haack’s New Boyfriend
Tarek El Moussa has opened up about ex-wife Christina Haack‘s new boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, and whether he will appear on the HGTV show The Flip Off.
El Moussa, who was married to Haack from 2009 to 2018 and shares two children with her, recently spoke with Parade ahead of the return of his hit show, Flipping 101 With Tarek El Moussa. When asked about Larocca, El Moussa had positive things to say.
“We’ve had dinner a few times,” the HGTV star said. “[He’s a] nice guy.”
Haack and her estranged third husband, Josh Hall, filed for divorce in July 2024 after three years of marriage. Since then, the exes have been embroiled in a tense legal battle over spousal support and other financial matters, including the selling of Haack’s $4.5 million Tennessee farmhouse.
In February 2025, Haack went public with her new relationship, sharing an Instagram photo with her new beau, Larocca, the president and CEO of Network Connex.
As for whether Larocca could appear on The Flip Off — the HGTV series that sees Haack competing against El Moussa and his wife, Heather — El Moussa said they aren’t quite at that stage yet, noting that he enjoys filming with Haack and Heather.
“We haven’t had that conversation,” he told the outlet. “Here’s the truth. I actually prefer filming with Christina and Heather because they’re both talented at what they do. They’ve both been doing it a long time. So we make a really good team, and we were able to make a lot of good content together.”
He added, “Where filming with someone that’s maybe never filmed before, it could be more challenging, right?”
The Flip Off was originally meant to see Haack and Hall pairing up to take on the El Moussas. However, Hall departed the series following his separation from Haack.
El Moussa went on to say he has a natural chemistry with Haack having worked together on Flip or Flop for “well over 100 episodes.”
He added, “My wife, Heather — she and I have been filming for many years together at this point now, too; I think five years — I just think naturally, we have chemistry … and it comes out on screen.”
Last week, Haack opened up about her new relationship, telling Jeff Lewis on SiriusXM that she is open to getting married for a fourth time, despite previously vowing “no more marriages.”

Maybe Christina should stop thinking so much about herself. She seems to have it all and its never enough. A man is not going to fix her problems, just add to them. I really feel sorry for the kids. At least they have good fathers to keep them grounded.

I like Christina but I think she has a complex, she already got it all she need to take a break from these guys and enjoy her children,because a man don't make a woman, and besides where is she finding these men, this guy number four a no no.

I think CHRISTINA shouldn't allow any more of her men to get that close with her anymore, because I'm not sure if they like her or trying to be on T.V., he's already getting too much air time. I don't need to know anything about him, so why is him the very top of conversations everyday. I chose not to know who you maybe sleeping with or have a date with unless it is all about him. You can't be in love with him. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK TO THINK, because you have children and they need a BREAK. I'm still your biggest fan, the ANDREW SISTER SUNG, IS IT ME or JUST MY MONEY,

They got outed by the press. They weren't trying to make their relationship public. I don't think this guy is interested in being on TV. He's the president of a communications company and way richer than Christina is.

I think that Christina is in love with falling in love. If it was just her id say knock yourself out hot pants! But she does have 3 kids and at some point she ought to put them first in her life. I can't imagine what an impression it makes on her teenage daughter and 2 sons to see Mommy have a rotating door of new men coming and going from their lives. Luckily for the kids they all have stable dads who are in stable, long term relationships.

She should worry about her kids. She thinks she has it all but she doesn’t. I have one husband and I would not go for a second one even if I was alone, one is enough!

That woman needs some serious psychological counseling. It really is a pathetic pattern of behavior. Worst of all, is that she is affecting her children as well. So selfish and so self-centered. She can keep telling herself that she's a great mother. She's not even close to being a good one.

She’s already mentioning how she would be open to marry this new guy? This is ridiculous. She goes through people like crazy. My gosh. What she needs is counseling and to realize her self-worth and not have it based on a relationship with a guy. And she’s definitely not thinking about her children. Oh yeah I’m sure someone’s gonna say “yes she is”, but no, any woman that bounces from guy to guy is not thinking of her children.

You misread. She said she’s open to marrying again. She doesn’t say she’s open to marrying her current bf.

Haters need something else to do. All three of her children are loved by a village of family, so leave her alone.
#1 Their not your children
#2 Try focusing on your own relationship instead weighing in on someone who isn't even in your lives.

Christina is great at what she does. Her married life is her business. None of you commenters are in her shoes.

I believe Christina has a very sweet soul and is doing life as she sees is best for her. I do pray that she takes the time she needs and her children need to heal before moving on. Realizing that children are resilient, it still affects them greatly. My focus would be on them until she finds the one that God has chosen for her.

Christina needs to work on Christina, take a break from men for at least a year, it’s obvious her choices haven’t worked for her, gets serious much too soon. She’s in lust not love, focus on your children and yourself first. Stop trying so hard to impress the world with your success and money, we see it, enough all ready, stop the narcissism Christina.
