The forthcoming holidays will look a little different for Christina Haack (formerly Hall) this year, but family will always be at the center.
This Christmas marks the first that the HGTV star celebrates since her divorce from estranged husband Josh Hall, from whom she split in the summer, after almost three years of marriage.
However, through it all she has had the support of another ex, her first husband Tarek El Moussa, and the two will be celebrating the holidays together with their kids.
This week, Tarek’s wife Heather Rae El Moussa, while at Kathy Hilton’s DirectTV Christmas Party, opened up to Us Weekly about her and Tarek’s family plans, which include Christina and the kids.
“We usually have [Tarek and Christina’s kids on] Christmas day. She has them [on] Christmas Eve, but [this year] I think we’re gonna spend Christmas Eve together,” she shared, noting it was “one of the first times” they have done so.
Christina and Tarek were married from 2009 to 2018, and share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, eight, plus she also shares son Hudson, four, with ex-husband Ant Anstead, and Tarek shares Tristan, one, with Heather.

Josh has since exited the show, and Christina recently said it was a relief. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight about the unraveling of her relationship with Josh and having to work with him towards the end of it, she first shared: “When someone is insecure about you and doesn’t like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything.”

Both Tarek and Heather are on the same page, with the latter even confessing: “I don’t want to be mean but it’s kind of nice to see him go.”
