Christina Haack, the star of hit home renovation show HGTV, recently enjoyed a sunny getaway with her partner and children at The Resort at Pelican Hill located in Southern California.

Sharing her delightful family moments on Instagram, Haack posted a series of pictures set to Zach Bryan’s touching rendition of “You Are My Sunshine.” Among the snapshots was a heartwarming image of Haack with her youngest son, Hudson, aged six, who she shares with ex-husband Ant Anstead. The duo embraced in front of the resort’s impressive Coliseum Pool, with Haack sporting a pink two-piece bikini paired with a stylish cover-up and a white trucker hat promoting her champagne brand, Clé Cachée.
In another photograph, Haack’s two older children, daughter Taylor, aged 15, and son Brayden, aged 10, grinned happily as they posed together against the backdrop of a serene sunset. Taylor and Brayden are children from Haack’s previous marriage to Tarek El Moussa, with whom she starred alongside on the show “Flip or Flop” during their marriage from 2009 until 2018.
Adding to the charm of the family getaway, Haack also shared a couple’s photo with her boyfriend, Christopher Larrocca. The pair were photographed together outside the resort, with Haack in a chevron crochet-pattern dress, while Larrocca opted for a casual black T-shirt and jeans. The two confirmed their relationship by going Instagram official in February 2025, after dating discreetly for several months.
In her Instagram Stories, Haack continued to celebrate her time at the luxurious resort, posting additional poolside images. In one particular video, she showcased her champagne brand, Clé Cachée, pouring herself a drink before taking a sip. Accompanying the video was a cheeky caption that exclaimed, “Who needs to fly all the way to Hawaii when you have @pelicanhillresort?”
Friends and followers showered Haack with praise in the comments of her post, with Heather Rae El Moussa—Haack’s friend and Tarek’s current wife—enthusiastically noting, “So fun!!!!!!” Larrocca also chimed in, remarking on the resort’s splendid offerings.
While The Resort at Pelican Hill has become a recent hotspot for Haack, it is not her only destination for promoting her champagne brand. Earlier this year, she expressed her excitement about a visit to Wisconsin, where she was seen signing bottles of Clé Cachée in Milwaukee. A photo she shared from the trip featured her enjoying a well-deserved drink at a lakeside venue, all while Larrocca accompanied her on this work-related outing.
In a 2025 cover story for PEOPLE magazine, Haack reminisced about how a trip to Napa Valley with Larrocca inspired the creation of her champagne line, a venture that has long been a passion project for her. “I’ve been a champagne girl for as long as I can remember,” she shared, revealing that her dedication extended to numerous trips to renowned champagne-producing regions in France to develop and oversee her product.
It’s evident that Christina Haack is not only committed to her family life but also passionately pursuing her business ambitions, showcasing a multifaceted lifestyle that resonates with her fans. As the summer progresses, her staycation at Pelican Hill serves as a reminder that joyful moments can be created close to home while also paving the way for her entrepreneurial ventures in the world of fine wines.
