<p id=”par-1_66″>Back in 2013, the world was introduced to Tarek and Christina El Moussa, a happily-married couple and the new stars of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/hgtv/”>HGTV’s</a> <em>Flip or Flop</em>. Fast forward 11 years later, and things have changed drastically. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/tarek-el-moussa-want-alimony-christina-haack-divorce.html/”>Tarek and Christina split in 2016</a>; Christina remarried twice and Tarek once, and both have children with other people. Despite some drama, the two have come through it as strong friends.</p>
<p id=”par-2_48″>In the exes’ new show, <em>The Flip Off</em>, which also stars Tarek’s wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, Christina and Tarek finally have an on-air heart to heart about their marriage for the first time. And Christina apologizes, presumably for events that occurred leading up to their high-profile divorce.</p>

<p id=”par-3_54″>The exes share a daughter and son, Taylor and Brayden, and they have always remained friendly for their kids. But Christina moved on from Tarek quickly, marrying ex-husband Ant Anstead and welcoming a son, Hudson (the two announced their breakup in 2020), which fans always assumed caused tension in her already-strained relationship with Tarek.</p>
<p id=”par-4_22″>In a new clip from <em>The Flip Off</em>, a tearful Christina is seen apologizing to Tarek over “s***” she caused years earlier.</p>
<p id=”par-5_46″>During the conversation, Christina was telling Tarek that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/everything-we-know-christina-haacks-husband-joshua-hall.html/”>she and ex Josh Hall</a> had officially split up. And later in the conversation, she references her past relationship with Tarek. “I’m really sorry for s*** too,” Christina says. “I really am. I just want you to know.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_49″>Tarek’s response is one fans might not have expected. He appears to take responsibility for the couple’s split. “I understand that feeling of being a little bit lost,” he says to Christina. “And I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_42″>Although things were not great between Tarek and Christina immediately post-split, the tensions have simmered to the point where the two are actually good friends. Christina also has a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/christina-haack-revealed-heather-rae-young-text-nice.html/”>good relationship with Heather</a>, which has likely helped Tarek and Christina’s own relationship.</p>
<p id=”par-8_43″>Christina, Tarek, and Heather all filmed <em>The Flip Off</em>, and while Josh was supposed to be involved, the end of the relationship meant he was cut from the show. But in a recent interview, Christina said it was “easier” to film without him.</p>
<p id=”par-9_9″><em>The Flip Off</em> premieres on HGTV on January 29.</p>
