Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa are flipping out over a new family milestone.
The Flip or Flop alums recently reunited to celebrate their daughter Taylor‘s middle school graduation, throwing the 14-year-old a party with friends and family—including the former couple’s 9-year-old son Brayden and Tarek’s wife Heather Rae El Moussa.
“Taylor we are so proud of you and so excited for you to head into the next stage of your life,” Christina wrote on Instagram June 10. “Our beautiful, smart, incredible, bright light we all love and adore you.”
Sharing photos of their blended family, the 41-year-old added, “We hope all the mistakes you’ve watched us make throughout your life help to guide you to a brighter future.”
Indeed, Christina and Tarek, 43, haven’t always been on good terms since divorcing in 2018. But in recent years, the pair have set aside their differences to focus on co-parenting.
“In the end, all the other stuff is just ‘noise,'” Christina—who is also mom to 5-year-old son Hudson with second husband Ant Anstead—wrote on Instagram Story in 2022, “what matters is the kids.”
And when Christina broke up with her third husband Josh Hall in 2024, Tarek and Heather—who share 2-year-old son Tristan—were there to offer their support.
“We got one shot at life and we gotta do what’s best for us, so whatever she needs, we’re here to help,” Tarek shared in an E! News video at the time. “Our families are close and we help each other.”
In fact, Christina and Heather, 37, have since developed close friendship, often playfully ganging up on Tarek together on their show The Flip Off.
“We’ve had our ups and downs, but mostly we’ve been great co-parents throughout everything,” Christina told E! News in January. “All three of us love these kids like more than anything, so we’ve always made them a priority.”
She added, “Through making them a priority, we were able to build our relationship back again.”
