Christina Haack‘s dating life and relationships never cease to make headlines, especially amid her ongoing divorce from Josh Hall and her rumored new romance.
Hall and Haack, who was going by her married name up until her split, both filed for divorce in July 2024 after three years of marriage. The exes, who don’t share any children, both cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
“Christina was trying, but things happened, and it just wasn’t working,” an insider told Us Weekly of the Flip or Flop star’s divorce from Hall. “Christina was done when she filed the papers. It’s hard, but she’s doing great.”

Check out Haack’s complete dating history, from her marriages to her brief flings below.
Tarek El Moussa (2006 – 2016)
Haack and Tarek El Moussa, her longtime co-host in Flip or Flop, first met in 2005 when they worked as real estate agents in California. Their relationship moved quickly. “The day Tarek and I officially started dating, which was October 9, 2006, we moved in together,” she detailed to Good Housekeeping in 2017.
In 2009, the pair tied the knot and, in 2013, their hit renovation show on HGTV began. Their daughter, Taylor, was born in 2010, followed by their son, Brayden, in 2015.
Seven years into their marriage, Haack and El Moussa announced their separation six months after police were called to their home due to reports of an explosive fight between them.
“Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage,” the former couple said in a statement to Us Weekly on December 12, 2016. “We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence and no charges were filed. We chose to get counseling to sort out our relationship.”
“Together, we have decided to separate while we reevaluate the future of our marriage,” the statement continued. “During this process, we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be. We will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together.”
A month later, Tarek filed for divorce in Jan. 2017. According to multiple reports, El Moussa allegedly caught Haack texting their contractor, Gary Anderson, per InTouch Weekly.
Gary Anderson (2017)
After splitting from El Moussa, reports confirmed Haack had moved on with her contractor, Gary Anderson.
“Christina grew close to Gary,” an insider told In Touch. “Tarek was suspicious that she was getting involved with someone but had no concrete evidence.” Months later, he saw all the proof he needed. “Tarek saw Christina’s phone and [believed] there was some inappropriate texting going on between Christina and Gary.”
Of course, their relationship hit a nerve with the HGTV star. “It’s hard for Tarek to see Christina dating, but it’s even worse that Gary is the guy she’s with,” a source explained. “There’s nothing that could be more upsetting to Tarek than to see her with a guy who is like him but better — and that’s Gary. He’s in the same industry as Tarek, but he’s older and more established and has more money.”
A few months later, however, the outlet was already reporting on their split. According to a source, Anderson and Haack had incompatible lifestyles. “He doesn’t even like being around [young kids],” a friend of Anderson told the outlet.
Doug Spedding (2017)
Later in 2017, Haack dated businessman Doug Spedding. In September, Haack gushed about their relationship.
“Doug and I are doing great,” she told E! News in Sept. 2017, per People. “He actually has six kids. He has two twins that are girls — they’re 10. Taylor loves them. They got along really well.”
“We’re both kind of low-key, and we like to barbecue, swim at my house, go out on the boat, watch hockey games,” she added.
In October, however, People confirmed that Haack and Spedding had gone their separate ways after Spedding entered an in-patient rehabilitation center for addiction issues. “Christina supports Doug’s decision to seek treatment and remains in contact to support his recovery,” a source said at the time.
Ant Anstead (2017 – 2020)
Also in 2017, Haack met Wheeler Dealer‘s co-host Ant Anstead. The pair kept their relationship under wraps at first but eventually went IG official in January 2018.
Two months later, she gushed about him on social media. “He has already grounded me in so many ways and I’m so grateful for him,” she wrote, per People. “[He’s] driven and talented, humble and kind, patient and a great listener, fun and hilarious, spiritual and to top it all off he’s hot AF,” she continued.
On Dec. 22, 2018, Anstead and Haack got married in an intimate surprise wedding. “We pulled off the perfect surprise wedding,” she told People in Jan. 2019 of the winter-wonderland-theme affair. “Seeing the happy tears of friends and family was priceless.”
In 2019, they welcomed their first child together, a son named Hudson.On Sept. 18, 2020, less than two years after their wedding, she announced their separation in a since-deleted Instagram post. “Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” she wrote. “We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future.”
Their divorce was finalized in June 2021.
Josh Hall (2021 – 2024)
In July 2021, Haack moved on from her relationship with Anstead and started dating realtor and former police officer Joshua Hall.
“I met Josh when I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight,” she wrote on Instagram after their relationship went public, per People. “When we met this past spring, the synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore. I felt immediately crazy protective over him and wanted to keep him for myself and get to know each other before the tornado (media attention) hit.”
“We decided what’s in the past, is in the past. We aren’t looking at all the nonsense online,” she added. “So yes ‘another relationship’ and guess what? I’m 38 – I’ll do what I want.”
In September 2021, Haack and Hall announced their engagement. They secretly married in October 2021 before having a public wedding in April 2022.
Fast-forward to July 16, 2024, Hall filed for divorce from Haack citing “irreconcilable differences.”
According to Us Weekly, Haack and Hall split due to their different lifestyles. “Christina works very hard and is successful,” the source said. “She felt like Josh was not contributing enough to the household.”
In a preview for The Flip Off shared on Dec. 12, Haack broke down to El Moussa about deciding to end her marriage. “Things with Josh have been bad for a long time,” she told her ex.
“The kids literally asked me to leave,” she added. “They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?”
Christopher Larocca (2024 – Present)
After her split from Josh Hall, she moved on with CEO Christopher Larocca.
“Christina has been dating Chris Larocca for a few months now. They’re always together and out and about around Newport. They even have traveled abroad and visited other countries together,” a source revealed to Daily Mail.
Not much is known yet, but sources say they’re quite happy together.
