The two went public with their relationship in January 2018—the same month Christina’s divorce from Tarek was finalized—and tied the knot in a winter-themed wedding at their home in Newport Beach, Calif., on Dec. 22, 2018.Christina and Ant—who is dad to daughter Amelie and son Archie with his first wife Louise Storey—welcomed their first child together, son Hudson, in 2019.The couple were married for less than two years before announcing their separation in September 2020.

The pair went public with their relationship that July, with Christina revealing that they had been together for “a few solid months.”According to the Flip or Flop star, she met Josh, a licensed realtor, that spring at a time in her life when she “wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight” and had “taken time off social, hired a spiritual coach and smoked a Bufo toad” to “reset” her brain.

She has also appeared on Vanderpump Rules, most notably on season three as one of the bridesmaids in Scheana Shay’s bridesmaids.As for Jessica, the former Playboy model also made appearances on The Hills, as well as The Girls Next Door, Kendra, Kendra on Top and Kendra Sells Hollywood in support her best friend Kendra Wilkinson.

She is currently married to Robert, who describes the El Moussa matriarch as “the love of my life” on Instagram.Tarek has never shared his father’s name, though in a November 2017 Facebook post he announced that his “old man” had turned 70 years old.”The relationship between a father and his children is so important. I was lucky enough to have a supportive and motivating father that made me believe I could accomplish anything in the world,” he captioned a picture of the family’s birthday celebrations for the patriarch. “I can say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my dad. I will take all the lessons I’ve learned from him and pass it on to my children.”In an interview with Country Living, Tarek said his father was “raised Catholic in the Middle East in Lebanon and then Egypt” and met his mother, who is from Belgium, in Europe as a teen.Your source for entertainment news, celebrities, celeb news, and celebrity gossip.
