Heather Rae El Moussa recently opened up about whether her co-parenting partner and HGTV co-star, Christina Haack, might marry for a fourth time.
In an interview with E! News, Heather, 37, suggested Christina isn’t rushing down the aisle. “If [marriage happens], it will be some time,” she said. “She’s not wanting to rush into anything.”
Christina, 42—who was married to Heather’s husband, Tarek El Moussa, from 2009–2016—is now dating Christopher Larocca, CEO of Network Connex. The couple confirmed their relationship in January 2025 and went public on Instagram a month later. This new romance follows Christina’s split from ex-husband Josh Hall, who filed for divorce in July 2024 after two years of marriage. Christina was also previously married to TV host Ant Anstead (2018–2021).
Heather praised Christina’s current relationship, telling E! News: “I do like them together. It’s the first guy she’s been with that I’ve really liked.” She added that her husband Tarek also approves: “Tarek and him get along on a guy level, hanging out and talking business. Chris is a real man—it comes down to that.”

The families recently bonded during a joint Las Vegas trip celebrating Christina’s birthday. Heather shared photos from the getaway on Instagram with the playful caption: “What happens in Vegas…ends up on Instagram.”
Heather credits their HGTV series The Flip Off—starring all three—for strengthening their unusual friendship: “Filming brought us closer. Christina and I connected as women, not just co-parents.” Despite public scrutiny, Heather remains unfazed: “Some people will never understand our relationship. You can’t please everyone.”
Christina and Tarek share daughter Taylor (14) and son Brayden (9). Heather and Tarek have a 2-year-old son, Tristan, while Christina shares son Hudson (5) with Ant Anstead.
