Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack React to ‘Flip or Flop’ Ending
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack’s HGTV’s series “Flip or Flop” is coming to an end.
The series, which debuted in 2013, will be wrapping up for good next week, at the end of its current season.
Co-hosts El Moussa and Haack started the show flipping houses as a married couple, but later divorced.
Haack shared her feelings about the series coming to an end in an exclusive with People, saying, “I will be forever grateful to have had a series for a decade. It’s a huge accomplishment and everyone who worked on the show should be very proud.”
She also acknowledged the highs and lows the hosts experienced in the show, adding, “The series made it through ups and downs and trust me it wasn’t always easy.” Their very public divorce happened in the middle of the series’ run, and they had to navigate co-parenting and new relationships while being on-screen.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you who have watched the show throughout the years. I am beyond grateful for the support. 🙏."
