Christina Haack’s new boyfriend Christopher Larocca made a surprise cameo during the finale episode of HGTV’s The Flip Off which aired on Wednesday.
The TV personality, 41 – who recently revealed she regrets not having a prenup with ex Josh Hall – was first linked to the businessman late last year when they were seen together in Europe.
Last month, the couple went Instagram official after the blonde beauty shared an assortment of snaps as they enjoyed a lavish getaway on a private jet.
During the final episode, the house flipping showdown officially came to an end as Haack competed against her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae.
Flipping Out alum Jeff Lewis announced the winner as the trio gathered at Christina’s Newport Beach abode. Other close friends and family were also in attendance – with Larocca blending into the crowd standing outside.
Haack and her new beau began their romance during the show’s production – after Josh Hall was ‘cut’ from the series amid their messy divorce.

During the scene – which saw Tarek and Heather being named the winners – Larocca didn’t interact with Haack but instead stayed back in the distance.
However, Josh still made an appearance in the first episode of The Flip Off – and their marital woes played out for viewers to see during an explosive argument.
Earlier this year in January, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that the TV personality and Christopher had been secretly dating the CEO of Network Connex for months.
‘Christina has been dating Chris Larocca for a few months now. They’re always together and out and about around Newport,’ the insider explained at the time. ‘They even have traveled abroad and visited other countries together.’
Haack and Larocca were ‘surprised’ that the news of their relationship didn’t come out because ‘they certainly don’t hide that they’re together.’
However, it is not known when Christina first crossed paths from the businessman who is from California – but they have stopped by a few events together since striking up a romance.
Back in October 2024, she went to Europe for the ‘most incredible week’ and shared a snap of herself inside a Ferrari.
The luxury car brand shared images to its Newport Beach Instagram page, and Haack allegedly could be seen holding hands with Larocca following a special dinner.

Last month, Christina and the businessman went Instagram official when she shared snaps of the pair from a private jet trip.
In one image, the couple flashed cheerful smile as she sat on his lap inside the plane before heading to their destination. They held glasses of champagne in their hands and also sported stylish shades.
The two have also had the chance to bond with Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa amid their budding relationship.
Also in February, the group was seen grabbing a bite to eat together at Nobu in Newport Beach. They all later posed for a picture together while seated at a table on the patio of the restaurant.
Haack’s ex, Hall, has also moved on and is ‘happily dating’ a Nashville-based bikini model named Stephanie Gabrys.
The former couple tied the knot in 2022 but their plans to divorce was announced in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage.
Shortly after their shock split was revealed, a source told Us Weekly that Josh would no longer be a part of HGTV’s The Flip Off with Haack.
‘They are in production of The Flip Off without Josh. They’re moving forward with the show without him,’ the insider said.

During last week’s episode, Christina expressed her regrets over not having a prenup with Josh.
Haack was previously married to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 through 2018 – and share two children: Taylor, 15, and Brayden, nine. She also tied the knot with Ant Anstead in 2018 until their divorce in 2021, and the pair welcomed son Hudson, five.
‘He’ll make me these [divorce settlement] offers, which, he just made me another one,’ Christina explained of Hall to pal Cassie Schienle.
‘It’s so confusing for me why someone would want to do that to me – especially someone who didn’t have to work for a few years – that would take this much advantage of me.’
She added, ‘Literally the last offer he made, I thought was asinine. The next one is worse. More money.
‘It’s crazy. He wants to retire off me! Honestly, if I would’ve really understood the repercussions of all of this, I would’ve gotten a prenup or I would’ve never married him.’
Her friend replied with, ‘I just don’t understand when there’s no children involved that you share. It was a very short marriage. It takes the toll on you and everything you’re going through.’
Haack shared, ‘Yeah, it’s exhausting. I just can’t wait for it to be done. But I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon.’

While talking to People, Christina revealed that her ex Tarek was not surprised about the end of her nearly three-year marriage to Josh.
She explained to the outlet that she had talked to both El Moussa and wife Heather about the divorce.
‘They were aware that there were issues and it’s something that we had to sidebar on in regards to how all of us were going to handle even filming with Josh because there was already some difficulty there.’
‘So they weren’t surprised. And they were also very, very supportive,’ the reality star continued.
Haack later explained that focusing on filming for The Flip Off helped her through the separation. ‘It definitely was a distraction.’
‘I think it relieved that stress. The show was stressful in itself for different reasons not even having to do with our dynamic. Just flipping a house that fast and I haven’t flipped in a long time. So I think it was a good distraction.’
Also during the season finale of The Flip Off on Wednesday, Christina was chased off Heather’s renovation property by the Selling Sunset alum.
While talking to People, Christina revealed that her ex Tarek was not surprised about the end of her nearly three-year marriage to Josh; seen in January in L.A.
The moment occurred after Haack discovered that Tarek and Heather had flown a drone to spy on the house she was flipping.
In a confessional, the mother-of-three said, ‘Tarek and Heather are always complaining that I’m breaking the rules. But if they actually flew a drone through my house, I am most definitely getting them back.’
In retaliation, Christina and her contractor Michael Lange devised a plan to sneak into Tarek and Heather’s house while they were putting on a garage sale.
Haack could be seen talking to Heather and Tarek outside of the home to distract them while Lange snuck inside.

Michael was able to take photos of the inside and also grabbed a few belongings before exiting through the garage.
Heather quickly spotted him and shockingly questioned what he was doing. This prompted both Haack and Lange to start sprinting away from the house – with Heather running after them.
But the pair made it to their SUV and sped away before Heather caught up to them.
‘I’m really going to have to up my landscaping game,’ Haack said in a confessional afterwards, ‘but I have to do it without overspending like they do because if I win the [return on investment], I win the entire thing.’
