After seven years of marriage and two children together, the El Moussas separated in May 2016 following analtercation involving a gun at their home, which both parties latercalled an “unfortunate misunderstanding.”In December, theyannounced their separation. By January, Tarekhad filed for divorce.
In spite of the messy split, the couple is committed to working together to coparent their 6-year-old daughter Taylor and their 2-year-old son Brayden, while also focusing on their professional relationship as they continue to film “Flip or Flop.”
“We met at work, and we actually probably get along best at work,” she told Good Housekeeping. “He handles the business side, whereas I do better with the decorating side — we just have that dynamic together.”

In an interview with ETOnline.com, Christina said they’re still figuring out how toaddress their divorce on the show.
“We just started filming again and we’re kind of working that out with production,” she said. “I’m not exactly positive what we’re going to do, but we both still film with the kids and it shows his new house in Newport and me here with kids and other things that we’re both doing in our lives. So, it should be interesting.”
