Christina Hall reveals why ex Tarek El Moussa 'wasn't surprised' when she dumped Josh Hall after 3 years

Christina Hall has shared more back story on her split from third husband Josh Hall.

On Wednesday the home improvement expert said that her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa 'wasn't surprised' when she dumped Hall.

That is because there was already tension on the set of their reality TV series Flip Off which stars Christina, Josh, her ex Tarek and his current wife Heather Rae El Moussa.   

Hall talked to People about the end of her romance with Josh ahead of the series premiere of her new show The Flip Off on January 29.

Tarek and Heather felt that Christina was not thrilled with Josh, she said. 'I'd been talking to both of them about it,' Christina says of Tarek and Heather.

'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,' added the mother of three who lives in Orange County, California.

'So they weren't surprised. And they were also very, very supportive,' she noted.

Christina and Tarek first worked together on the long-running HGTV series Flip Or Flop. The show saw them flip houses while raising daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9.

They split in 2016 after seven years of marriage. But then they worked together on the Flip Or Flop until it was scraped in 2022.

The Flip Off was first announced in May 2024 and was initially set to feature Christina, Josh, Tarek and Heather as well as other experts.

But Josh, 44, filed for divorce in July 2024 after three years of marriage. 

That left Christina without a partner on Flip Off as Tarek, 43, was paired with spouse Heather, 37.

When asked if overnight being on her own made her want to leave the series, Christina said to People: 'No, I kind of knew it was going to happen.'

Christina says making The Flip Off helped with the heartbreak.

'It definitely was a distraction,' she told the site.

'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.'

Josh is seen in the series premiere, but then he is absent. Instead she talks to her 'team of experts' for help.

When Josh filed for divorce he wanted money as he was requesting spousal support from the blonde pinup. 

The two have bickered over finances publicly.
