In his upcoming book, Flip Your Life: How to Find Opportunity in Distress — in Real Estate, Business, and Life, Tarek El Moussa shares his side of the story regarding his highly publicized split from his ex-wife and Flip or Flop co-star, Christina Hall. The book delves into the 2016 incident that involved a gun and ultimately led to their divorce. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine, Tarek offers insights into that dark day and reflects on the challenging aftermath.
The couple secretly separated seven months before their split became public in December 2016, following an altercation that Tarek describes as a 'blowup' fight with Christina. During this incident, Tarek fled into a nearby nature area with a pistol, prompting Christina to call 911 and the park to be flooded with police. It marked the end of their seven-year marriage.
