Christina Haack broke down in tears in a new preview of her reality TV show Flip Off.
The beauty was sitting on a sofa of her Orange County, California mansion when talking to her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa.
The 41-year-old home improvement specialist said that things got really bad with her third husband Josh Hall, 44.
It was not long before Christina started sobbing as she wiped away tears. Tarek, 43, looked sad for his ex as he looked away and tried his best to be a rock for her.
‘Josh and I officially split up,’ said the California native.
‘We had a blow up… middle fingers in my face,’ she says, adding that things with Josh had been ‘bad for a long time.’
Josh filed for divorce in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage, and was slated to co-star alongside Christina and Tarek in The Flip Off, but following their breakup, Christina resumed filming without him.

But the most heart-wrenching moment comes when Christina reveals the impact on her and Tarek’s children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9.

‘The kids literally asked me to leave,” she says, breaking down. ‘They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?’
Christina explains that she feels as though she’s constantly caught in a tornado, unable to escape, before breaking down in tears.
She goes on to say that everything since 2016 has been incredibly difficult and painful, taking a severe toll on her emotionally.
Christina and Tarek’s marriage ended in 2016 after a tense incident involving Tarek fleeing with a gun and entering rehab.
Despite a bumpy co-parenting journey, they’ve mostly maintained a positive relationship in recent years.
In the sneak peak of The Flip Off, Christina apologizes to Tarek, saying, ‘I’m really sorry for s— too. I really am. I just want you to know.’
Tarek, becoming a bit emotional himself, responds, ‘I understand that feeling of being a little bit lost. And I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this.’
Last month, Haack said Hall’s exit from The Flip Off made production much easier.

‘The kids literally asked me to leave,” she says, breaking down. ‘They told me he’s not nice to me. Why would I stick around?’
She told Entertainment Tonight it was difficult filming the show due to her estranged husband’s insecurity.
‘When someone is insecure by you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,’ the reality star explained.
Haack, who changed her name to Hall when the couple married in April 2022, has gone back to using her maiden name.
‘I feel like I was not shining as bright, to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that?’ she asked.
‘It was not fun, to be honest,’ she explained. ‘I did not enjoy filming with him, so having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way.’
Haack had no problems on the set with her first ex-husband Tarek.
El Moussa and his wife, Heather Rae, 37, co-star in the house flipping show set to debut in 2025.
‘Tarek and I have our own dynamic, and some could call it “flirty,”‘ she said, explaining it was more a ‘sibling type of thing.’
Haack said she had been using El Moussa as a sounding board and ‘telling him that things were bad for at least a year… probably 18 months.’

El Moussa revealed Haack seemed to be returning to her old self after filing for divorce in July.
‘At the beginning, she was going through it, you know, but she recovers really quick, he told ET.
‘You can just tell, her energy’s back. She’s happy. She’s excited about life, like, she’s doing good.’
Ant Anstead, 45, Haack’s second ex-husband, was seen filming some scenes from The Flip Off recently in Los Angeles.
