Tarek El Moussa Wasn’t Expecting One Guest Star On The Show

The Flip Off fans can clearly see that Christina Haack and the El Moussas have a lot of fun together. Since early last year, they’ve had a blast making ridiculous content to get viewers excited about their new show.

Tarek El Moussa thinks he knows his ex-wife well, but during the series premiere, she proved she can still surprise him.

On Wednesday night, Tarek and Heather received the shock of their lives when Christina brought her second husband, Ant Anstead, to the set. She asked him to be a judge for their competition.

“All of a sudden they’re besties,” Tarek told PEOPLE about seeing Christina and Ant together on the set. Heather agreed it was a shocking situation. The couple was under the impression that Ant and Christina still had a contentious relationship.

“[Christina] started following [Ant] on Instagram and we were like, ‘What? What’s going on?’ It really was like that for us,” Heather chimed in. “You see it transpire on TV and we’re so thrown off by the situation. I think we texted her, ‘Why are you following Ant? What’s going on?’”

However, it seems like that was all part of Christina Haack’s plan.

“I feel like some of [the judges] that I picked were just to mess with him,” the celebrity designer told PEOPLE. “It worked.”

Christina Haack & Ant Anstead Rekindled Their Friendship

Although their marriage didn’t work out, Christina and Ant are trying to establish a better co-parenting relationship for their son, Hudson. In hindsight, she believes her marriage to Josh Hall really sullied relationships with her children’s fathers.

“When Josh [Hall] and I split up, I hadn’t really talked to Ant in years,” the mother of three told Us Weekly. “The whole time I was with Josh, I would worry [thinking about how] Hudson’s sports [games] are coming up, we’re going to have to be on the field together, how’s Josh going to handle it?”
