Former Selling Sunset star Heather El Moussa has moved to HGTV. The second season of The Flipping El Moussas premiered over the Christmas holidays. And now, she stars in The Flip Off alongside her husband Tarek, and his ex-wife, Christina Haack.

Putting out a new show comes with nerves and uncertainty as it is. But how exactly did Heather El Moussa react when she learned they would be filming the new show with her husband’s first wife?

Tarek & Heather El Moussa Dish On What The Flip Off Brought Them

HGTV fans watched Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack star on Flip or Flop together for years, even after their divorce. Many felt delighted to see them back in action on The Flip Off. 

But how would it all work now that they’re exes?

“I think it was extremely healing,” Tarek told Yahoo Entertainment. “Not just for the two of us, but I think for many around the world that have [watched] our story since 2012. So I think a lot of people have been waiting for that moment and it finally came.”

While speaking with the publication, Tarek and Christina discussed how filming made them better co-parents. They don’t need to be romantically involved to get along and put their children first.

“I definitely had some reservations … ‘Can they film again together? Do you guys wanna do this? Are we gonna get along? … Is this gonna affect the kids at all in a negative way?'” Heather admitted during the interview. However, she ultimately agreed with Tarek and Christina. The Flip Off brought them all together in the best possible way.

“We got to know each other in a different way, on a deeper level, and I really enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to,” Heather continued. “And I think it was fun for [Christina and Tarek] to come back together and film — there’s no drama right now in our lives. We’re all just having a great time filming this show together.”

Fans Love Seeing Tarek & Christina Lean On One Another

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack will always be competitive with one another. But they also want to show the public that it’s possible to co-parent and set a good example for children after a divorce.

During The Flip Off’s big premiere, Tarek comforted Christina when she broke down in tears about her marital problems. The compassion and raw display of vulnerability truly resonated with fans.

“I know personally, some people even on set who have been through divorces, who are struggling with their exes and struggling with co-parenting, those people always admired how we co-parented,” Christina told Yahoo Entertainment. “But to see that happen in person, people were crying and they said, ‘This is just inspiring to have this relationship with my ex now.'”

In a previous interview, Heather El Moussa spoke incredibly well of Christina Haack. They may be on opposite teams, but Christina and the El Moussas are all about creating great, friendly entertainment while keeping their values front and center.

Catch the next episode of The Flip Off at 8 PM Eastern time next Wednesday night on HGTV. Until then, follow TV Shows Ace online for the latest HGTV news and updates.
