Christina El Moussa Reportedly Has A New Boyfriend, But Could She And Tarek Get Back Together?
From the archive: published Dec 17, 2016, 9 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Tarek and Christina El Moussa split earlier this year and began seeing other people months later. However, when it comes to going public with their new partners, the Flip or Flop couple likely won’t be doing any such thing anytime soon.
As Tarek faces rumors of a possible fling with their former nanny, Christina El Moussa is said to be dating their former contractor, Gary Anderson.
On December 17, the New York Daily News shared details regarding Christina El Moussa’s rumored relationship with Anderson, claiming Anderson was actually on hand when she and her now-estranged husband were tied to an incident involving a gun which was believed to have marked the end of their relationship. As the outlet revealed, Anderson was at a neighbors house when Tarek was seen fleeing their home with a gun. Meanwhile, Christina El Moussa later exited the home shaking and crying.
While numerous outlets have reported news of Christina El Moussa’s potential romance, the television star has not spoken out about the nature of her relationship with Anderson and Tarek has stayed silent about his own love interests.
According to TMZ, Christina El Moussa allegedly began dating Gary Anderson a few months after her reported incident with Tarek took place. The outlet also explained that Anderson was listed as the witness on the police report.
Tarek and Christina El Moussa chose to move on from their marriage in May after seven years and two children, 6-year-old Taylor Reese and 1-year-old Brayden James.
“We decided to separate while we reevaluated the next steps in our married life,” Tarek and Christina El Moussa said in a statement to People Magazine on December 14.
“We believed this was in the best interests of the children and the best way to determine a path forward.”
The magazine’s report claimed the incident between Tarek and Christina El Moussa had taken place on May 23 and revealed that 11 police cars and a helicopter had reportedly been dispatched. However, according to the couple, Tarek’s “intentions were misread.”
“Tarek was going on a hike and took a gun for protection from mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes and rattlesnakes,” they explained in their statement, explaining that Tarek has a weapon collection that includes five firearms kept “unloaded and in a locked gun safe.”
As for their dating relationships with others, Tarek and Christina El Moussa added, “We have both dated other people following the separation, but neither of us is ready to announce anything in terms of another relationship.”
As for the possibility of a future reunion between the Flip of Flop cast members, there may be at least a slight possibility of them rekindling their romance as they continue to work together on the HGTV series and co-parent their two kids.
Following an outing between the estranged couple in Newport Beach, California earlier this week, TMZ claimed they may be attempting to work through their issues for the sake of their family.
“[Tarek and Christina El Moussa] have been speaking lately about making an effort to resolve their issues,” the outlet explained to readers.
“Aside from that video we got of them attempting (and failing) to appear civil — we’re told they really are concerned about doing what’s best for their 2 young kids and their family as a whole.”
The outlet went on to reveal that in addition to their work on Flip or Flop, both Tarek and Christina El Moussa are reportedly working on projects of their own.
“It’s no guarantee, but the estranged couple ain’t fully throwin’ in the towel yet,” TMZ added.
