Christina Haack has admitted it takes a lot of “hard” work to stay friends with her ex-husbands but it’s worth it for the sake of her kids.
Christina Haack “works hard” to stay friends with her ex-husbands but it’s worth it for the sake of her kids.
The TV star has been married three times and now has a good relationship with her first husband Tarek El Moussa – the father of her daughter Taylor, 15, and son Brayden, 10 – as well as her second husband Ant Anstead – father of her six-year-old son Hudson – and she’s now opened up about spending time with Tarek and his second wife Heather Rae El Moussa as well as boyfriend Chris Larocca.
Christina, 42, told PEOPLE: “It really takes everyone in a co-parenting situation wanting to make it work. I have people message me all the time to be like, ‘How did you do that? My husband’s ex hates me,’ or ‘I could never hang out with my ex.’
“It takes all of us, and right now there’s four people in this situation – myself, my boyfriend Chris, Tarek and Heather – and all of us want to get along. All of us work hard to make sure that we’re all getting along.”
“I’m really good at letting go of the past, so is Tarek … So I think it’s just a maturity level and us putting the kids first and then the rest is kind of easy.”
She went on to explain she mended the rift with Ant – who she was married to between 2018 and 2021 – following the collapse of her third marriage to Josh Hall, which ended in 2024 with their divorce being finalised earlier this year.
Christina said: “When Josh [Hall] and I split up, Ant and I immediately had a heart-to-heart and he said: ‘I want to co-parent Hudson. Like you and Tarek do.’
“Not those words exactly, but he said: ‘I want to have a great co-parenting relationship with you’ …
“We go to soccer games. We sit next to each other at school. We do birthday parties together.”
Christina concluded by insisting it’s “wonderful” to be friends with her exes, adding it’s “not weird at all”.
The TV star has been dating Chris since last year and Heather Rae El Moussa recently revealed her pal isn’t planning to rush into a fourth marriage.
Heather told E! News: If so, it will be some time. She’s not wanting to rush into anything … They’re just really cute together. They’ve been together for quite a while, and I’ve really enjoyed every time I’ve spent time with him.
“It’s the first guy she’s been together with that I’ve really liked.”
