“Flip or Flop” stars Tarek and Christina El Moussa are teaming up to produce a new HGTV show, Variety has learned.
The new series marks a continuing professional relationship for the “Flip or Flop” co-stars and former couple who are parents to two young children. Last year after a highly publicized domestic altercation, the El Moussas announced their separation after seven years of marriage, but the reality stars are currently in production on Season 7 of their hit HGTV series, which is slated to return at the end of this year.
“It has absolutely been a challenge, and some of it has been truly ridiculous,” Tarek El Moussa tells Variety when asked how he and his ex-wife have been dealing with the heightened media attention since their split. He adds, “I would not wish it on anyone.”
Despite the tabloid press surrounding their lives, El Moussa says that he and Christina are committed to working together and expanding their production company, Sky High Media, which is behind “Chi-Town Flip” and has several other shows in development. El Moussa says the pair plan to develop and produce even more shows in the home-improvement space.
