In a heartwarming display of blended family dynamics, Christina Haack and her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa celebrated Easter together with their respective partners and children in La Quinta, California.

Christina Haack, aged 42, took to social media to share glimpses of the joyous occasion with her followers. On April 5, she uploaded a series of photos on her Instagram Stories showing the family enjoying their time together. Among those featured in the images were Haack’s boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, and Tarek’s wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, as well as their children, Taylor, 15, Brayden, 10, and little Tristan, aged 3. Also included in the family gathering was Haack’s son with ex-husband Ant Anstead, Hudson, who is now 6 years old.
In one of the shared photos, the children were seen gathering colourful eggs for their Easter baskets, while another image highlighted the large chocolate eggs customised for each child, a delightful treat for the young ones. “Happy Easter from (once) beautiful La Quinta,” Haack remarked in one of her posts, showcasing the cloud-covered sky typical of the area, known for its sunny weather.
The relationship between Haack and El Moussa has evolved significantly since their divorce in 2018, a decision they made after nearly a decade of marriage that began in 2009. The couple shot to fame on their HGTV series, “Flip or Flop,” and remain committed to co-parenting their children in a positive environment. Following her marriage to television presenter Ant Anstead and his subsequent divorce, Haack began dating Larocca in 2024.
In an interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, Haack discussed the complexities and rewards of co-parenting with Tarek and Heather. “It really takes everyone in a co-parenting situation wanting to make it work,” she indicated, illustrating the efforts made by each party to ensure harmony. She also mentioned receiving messages from individuals struggling with their own co-parenting dynamics, revealing that her own experiences could serve as an inspiration.
The bond shared among the adults extends beyond co-parenting; Tarek, who is now 44 years old, married Heather Rae El Moussa—formerly known as Heather Young— in 2021, and the couple welcomed their son Tristan in 2023. Meanwhile, Haack and the El Moussas are collaborating professionally in the house flipping business through their show, “The Flip Off,” where they compete to buy, renovate, and sell homes for profit.
The forthcoming season of “The Flip Off” promises to bring added excitement as Haack has hinted that her boyfriend Larocca will also be part of the show’s developments. This integration into her work life exemplifies the unity among the families, as each adult plays a role in fostering a nurturing environment for the children.
Social media has also showcased the amicable relations between Christina and Heather, as their interactions have grown increasingly friendly. A recent joint Instagram reel further highlighted their camaraderie, featuring the two women smiling and holding hands while announcing the occasion of a double date. “Proof we can co-parent and co-party,” they joked in the caption, indicating their commitment to maintaining a positive relationship despite their unique family configuration.
As blended families face their own distinct challenges, Haack and El Moussa’s celebration serves as a testament to the potential for harmony and cooperation among co-parents. Their focused efforts not only nurture a loving environment for their children but also demonstrate that positive relationships can thrive even after romantic partnerships come to an end. This Easter celebration among extended family highlights the possibilities inherent in modern family dynamics, where love and support can flourish in various forms.
