Tarek El Moussa

El Moussa was born in Long Beach, California. He got his real estate license in 2002, at the age of 21. He had a lucrative career selling real estate until the 2008 economic crisis, at which time the business he shared with then-wife Christina El Moussa began to struggle.[1] The pair then ventured into a new real estate strategy, flipping houses. Finding success in this new business, El Moussa submitted an audition tape to HGTV that followed the pair's process of flipping a house. The network picked up the show, which has seen a popular 10-season career, with season 10 set to premiere on HGTV in December 2021. [2] El Moussa also owns a construction company.

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack married in May of 2009. The couple's first child, Taylor Reese El Moussa, was born on September 22, 2010. Their second child Brayden El Moussa was born on August 19, 2015. The couple met while working at a real estate office, later entering into business together. Due to the 2008 economic crisis, the couple had no choice but to give up their $6,000/month home to move to a $700/month apartment.[3] They later found success again with their show, Flip or Flop, which has been on the air since 2013.[4] The couple divorced in 2018. Despite the couple's divorce, they continued working together on Flip or Flop, with Tarek saying to People, "From the beginning, HGTV has shown Christina and me tremendous support and we are excited to go out there and flip many more houses for Flip or Flop."

El Moussa started dating actress and real estate agent Heather Rae Young in 2019. They got married October 23rd, 2021 in Miramar Beach Montecito.
