How Josh Hall’s Jealousy of Tarek El Moussa Led to Christina Haack Divorce

Josh Hall just couldn’t hack it as Christina Haack‘s third husband.

In fact, Christina revealed how her ex’s jealously of her first spouse Tarek El Moussa created tensions in their relationship prior to their 2024 breakup.

During the premiere of her and Tarek’s new home renovation reality competition series The Flip Off, the Christina on the Coast star broke down in tears while breaking the news of her divorce to Tarek—and shared new insight into what caused their contentious split.

“You make him very insecure,” Christina—who shares children Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, with Tarek, as well as son Hudson, 5, with second ex-husband Ant Anstead—told her ex during the Jan. 29 episode. “Every time we would barely joke at soccer or if I laughed at you, he would not speak to me for two or three days. I would get silent treatment.”

Josh’s anger even turned into name-calling. 

As Christina recounted, “He doesn’t like me. He calls me cocky. He thinks I’m arrogant, when we both know I’m not cocky or arrogant and I just do work.”

The 41-year-old old’s heartbreaking confession was a surprise to Tarek, who then offered her kind words of support in her time of need.
