Do Tarek El Moussa And Ant Anstead Really Get Along?
As Christina Hall conceded herself in a recent Instagram post, "Life post divorce can be very complicated." She should know — the HGTV star of shows like "Flip or Flop" and "Christina on the Coast" has now been married a total of three times.
First, Hall was wed to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 until 2018. Their union produced two children — Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 6. Then, the same year that her divorce from El Moussa was finalized, Hall said "I do" again — this time she married British TV star Ant Anstead. They would go on to divorce just two years later in 2020, after welcoming their son Hudson. Now, the mom of three is married to realtor Joshua Hall (via TMZ).
At first blush, it sure seems like the blended family dynamic is working well. After all, both Hall and Anstead regularly share photos of their kids loving on one another (he also has two teenage children from a previous marriage). Judging from his Instagram posts, El Moussa also seems to be balancing fatherhood and life with his new wife, Heather from "Selling Sunset."
But behind the scenes, how are things going with the two dads in Hall's life?
It seems co-parenting is going well for this blended family
In 2020, Christina Hall told Access Daily about co-parenting with Tarek El Moussa, "I feel like that's been fine." She added, "Everything we are doing is in the kids' best interests and luckily, we live close together so we're able to drive back and forth from each other's houses easily and we work together. It's all about communication" (via Yahoo!). For his part, El Moussa seconded the notion that the couple was "getting along" and co-parenting as of 2021 (via People).
Meanwhile, Ant Anstead has been vocal about struggling to move on post-divorce. In an Instagram post that the car expert shared after news of the couple's split became public, Anstead wrote in part, "I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness." That said, he has since found his own happiness again with Renée Zellweger.
So do El Moussa and Anstead get along? You may be surprised by the answer.
Tarek El Moussa and Ant Anstead actually hang out
Not only have the fathers of Christina Hall's kids kept things between them pleasant, but a source told Us Weekly that Tarek El Moussa and Ant Anstead actually really like one another.
"Tarek and Ant have a great modern day family dynamic," an insider confided to the outlet in April of 2022, adding that the reality star dads have more than just an ex in common. "[They] share similar interests and enjoy hanging out," the source said. The guys even went away together to race cars in Arizona at the Radford Racing School, according to the source.
"They took a private plane together from California to Arizona and even posted about it on their social media [accounts]," they said. Indeed, Anstead shared a photo from the excursion, along with the caption, "Look what we did!"
El Moussa has professed his love of cars online previously and also posted from the racing school. As for Joshua Hall, the men are said to not know him as well at this time.
