Tarek El Moussa is a renowned TV personality and real estate developer best known for hosting HGTV show Flip or Flop with his former-wife Christina Haack (nee Hall).

He is the owner of El Moussa Group and a two-time cancer survivor who has dedicated his time to various charities.

What I Learned From My Health Challenges

Recently, Flip or Flop star Tarek El Moussa revealed his personal low point: when his health issues culminated in divorce proceedings with Christina Hall. He felt compelled to start over and took steps to ensure his family and career weren't put in jeopardy due to these issues.

He shared that one of the most essential lessons he'd learned is the value of having a supportive partner when facing health difficulties. According to him, having someone who can provide both emotional and physical strength during times of serious illness is invaluable.

Tarek El Moussa, star of HGTV's Flip or Flop, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2013 and testicular cancer two years later. As part of his treatment plan, he underwent surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, and a stem cell transplant.

El Moussa said he has come to appreciate how important health can be when dealing with cancer. He told Fox News Digital he tried his best to stay healthy by getting regular screenings and eating nutritiously, but unfortunately his condition worsened over time.

In 2016, he was involved in an accident while driving and needed medical help. It was a frightening situation that made him reflect on how to improve his habits.

Following his recovery, El Moussa married Selling Sunset actress Heather Rae Young in October 2021 and welcomed their first child together, son Tristan.

One year later, Heather and El Moussa welcomed Brayden James into their family. In an interview with People magazine, Heather raved about their son as "the most perfect baby I ever had" and expressed how contented they are to be parents.

Heather and Tarek have had a difficult journey together, yet they are determined to put the drama behind them so their children, Taylor and Brayden, can feel loved by both sides of their family.

What I Learned From My Divorce

Tarek El Moussa is one of the most successful HGTV stars on the network, but his personal life had some major ups and downs too. He was dealing with a health crisis, his family was going through major changes, his career was struggling, and he had to navigate divorce proceedings too.

Christina Hall and her partner experienced a difficult period, yet she remained positive and strived to make things work. She promised to prioritize their children above all else and not let their differences get in the way of having quality family time together.

After their divorce, the couple remained close and became co-parents of two children. Their newest child, Tristan Jay, was born on May 1, 2016.

Christina and Tarek had differing perspectives about parenting styles, but both agreed that quality time with their kids was essential. Fortunately, Christina had the support of her mother and other relatives to get through this trying time.

Additionally, the former couple's friends and family were always available for advice and support throughout this trying time together. Through it all, they managed to come through it stronger than ever before, becoming better parents in the process.

Christina Hall and her family came together as one unit and demonstrated their love for one another through Instagram Stories. Many of Christina Hall's posts revealed how the family had come together for their children, striving to avoid drama for their benefit and that of their little ones.

No matter the difficulties, it's essential to remember that it's okay to reach 'rock bottom' and make changes in your life if they become necessary. Most importantly, keep your head up and trust that everything will work out in the end.

Christina and Tarek's relationship wasn't always perfect, but it was certainly happy. Together they had two beautiful daughters and a son who made them proud every day of their lives.

But it wasn't always easy for the couple to work together as a unit, especially while Christina was filming her show. Rumors swirl that she was being verbally abused on set and frequently disciplined by Tarek.

What I Learned From My Family

Christina Hall and her husband Ant Anstead divorced in 2021, but it wasn't without some contention over custody rights. According to an insider, the couple "just grew apart." It appears that Ant is still seeking full custody of their son Hudson London after filing for an emergency petition in April.

Hall appears to be doing much better now, thanks to her new partner. In January she secretly married Austin-based real estate agent Josh Hall after divorcing from Ant Anstead.

Hall and El Moussa have grown more comfortable with her co-parenting role, leading her to take an active interest in Taylor and Brayden's lives. While her husband has been the focus of attention lately for his business dealings, it's Hall who keeps them grounded when it comes to family responsibilities.

In July, when the El Moussas learned of their pregnancy, they shared a touching video on Instagram featuring both children celebrating. Each kid popped blue confetti poppers and they even got their photo taken together!

Heather Rae Young may not be as outspoken about her pregnancy as Tarek El Moussa, but she and her husband have expressed their desire to start a family soon. To that end, they have begun freezing their eggs so they can use IVF if needed.

Heather has maintained her fitness despite all this, taking good care of herself. Recently she took a week off work to focus on herself and she plans on continuing this lifestyle for as long as possible.

To prioritize her health, she's taken steps to reduce stress levels and eat healthier food. Additionally, she gets plenty of rest each night and makes sure she gets enough exercise each week.

She's also formed relationships with her husband's friends, who have shown her support throughout pregnancy and even assisted with baby shopping. Ultimately, however, she prioritizes her own health above all else and wants to ensure that she is fit enough to bear a child into this world.

What I Learned From My Friends

Reflecting on my personal journey, I've taken many lessons from my friends. These include taking care of myself, learning to let go, and prioritizing family.

With my friends, I can truly be myself and share my authentic self with them. This helps me stay focused and productive in my career - something which may not always be easy when life gets in the way. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for me to remain successful.

Recent experiences have made me appreciate how crucial having friends who are willing to discuss their own difficulties is. I am fortunate enough to have some close friends who are extremely open about their struggles, and they've been an enormous source of comfort and strength during these trying times.

My dear friend Christina Hall is now divorced with two kids from her marriage to Tarek El Moussa, which began in 2009 and ended last year. It's truly inspiring how quickly life can change for people - one of my closest friends from college days, Christina Hall is proof!

Christina and Tarek divorced, yet Christina remained open about the difficult time she was going through. Now she shares her experience on both Instagram and Twitter to encourage others.

Despite her difficult circumstances, she has managed to overcome them through hard work and perseverance. Recently, she shared her journey on Instagram in an effort to inspire others to keep striving for what they desire.

She's recently opened up about her recent battle with cancer. She noted that it has taught her a lesson in resilience, and expressed gratitude for all of the family and friends who have stood by her side throughout it all.

Although the experience was stressful, it taught her to prioritize her family's needs. According to The Daily Mail, she "is now more determined than ever to ensure her kids know how much I love and cherish them."

Christina and Tarek have had a long journey to get where they are now, but I am certain they will make it through any challenges as parents. Most importantly, they're on the same page with their kids - which is what matters most in any relationship.
