Christina Haack Takes Her Relationship 'One Day At A Time' But Knows Current Beau Is A Great Fit
Christina Haack is trying to take things slow with her beau, businessman Chris Larocca, after three high-profile marriages. The "Flip or Flop" star quickly shut down engagement rumors that ignited after hitting the red carpet for HGTV's "Bachelor Mansion Takeover" in March 2026. Rather than let the speculation mount, Haack took to her Instagram Stories to explain her ring and double down on her plans to remain unwed for the time being. "That ring (that I've worn for almost 10 years) is a Cartier love ring (a gift to myself) with my kids initials. And 'Marriage is just not on my radar right now,' was my exact quote," she wrote (via People).
Haack wrote the caption over a photo of a Daily Mail article that she called "Bad reporting" for claiming that "Christina Haack flashes a ring on her wedding finger as she says she WOULD get married again ... after 3 divorces." The report came weeks after Haack shared her intention to take things slow with Larocca, telling E! News, "We're not in any rush, and it's a one day at a time thing, which is nice."
It had been only a year since the couple went Instagram official in February 2025, following a few months of dating. The romance sparked amid Haack's divorce from her third husband, Joshua Hall. Haack was previously married to her "Flip or Flop" co-star Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2018, with whom she shares two children. She was also married to British auto expert Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021, and the former couple shares a son. While some would think she's at odds in her blended family, Christina Haack has shared her secret to co-parenting with exes, and it's simpler than you think.
Christina Haack's first husband offered to screen her future romantic partners
Given Christina Haack's constantly evolving love life, her first husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, have jokingly shared their involvement in screening and interviewing her future spouses. Some may view this as one of the strangest things about Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa's post-divorce relationship. Both Tarek and Heather expressed their approval of Haack's new beau Chris Larocca while highlighting their friendly ties and involvement in selecting who gets to join their happy blended family.
In addition to joining them on an episode of "The Flip Off," Larocca has enjoyed double dates with the trio. Tarek shared one on Instagram in a post that joked about the El Moussas conducting the "First round of interviews," along with a green check mark emoji, indicating Larocca passed the vibe test. The group date came around the same time Haack first posted Larocca on her Instagram, and shortly after Heather told Access Hollywood that she and Tarek were "up for the challenge" of helping Haack vet her romantic partners. "We just talked about that, actually, that we should screen all of the next guys, so I feel like we'd be good judges," Heather said with a smile.
When speaking with Realtor.com in March 2025, Heather said that after a few double dates, she'd grown to like Larocca and Haack's budding romance. "We've gone to dinner with them a couple of times, and he's come to some kid things, and I'd say, so far I like him. I have nothing negative to say about him, and she seems happy." The take further amplifies how Christina Haack and Heather Rae El Moussa's relationship has become the best positive co-parenting story.
