Christina Haack has been accused of flirting with one of her ex-husbands again — but not Tarek El Moussa this time. Previously, when Christina’s second husband Ant Anstead appeared on HGTV’s The Flip Off, he accused Christina and her first husband Tarek of flirting with each other. Tarek’s current wife, Heather El Moussa, sees it differently though.

Ant Anstead appeared on the show as a judge.
On the episode that aired on February 19, Ant was tasked with selecting who had completed the best guest bedroom makeover: Christina, or Tarek and Heather. Ant shocked everyone by revealing that he had a bias, and was not selecting a winner based on their performance.
“It’s not gonna be something that you want to hear because unfortunately, it puts Christina and me on the same team forever,” Ant said on the show. “Because of that, this judge is swayed, [Christina’s] on my team and you guys lose.”
He also kept making comments about how Christina and Tarek were flirting.
While on the show, Ant told Christina and her first husband Tarek to “stop flirting.” He made several comments about the exes’ allegedly flirty behavior. “Once you guys stop flirting with each other, let’s get into it. Cause we’re here to do a job,” Ant said to Christina and Tarek while on the show.

However, Heather thinks Ant and Christina were flirting.
Though Ant suggested that Christina was flirting with Heather’s husband, she thinks Christina was actually flirting with Ant, per People. On the February 26 episode of The Flip Off, Tarek accused Christina of “rigging” the competition. In response, Christina said what Ant did on the show was not her fault. “I didn’t rig,” she said. “I can’t control what he does.”
As they were talking about Ant, Heather chimed in with, “You guys were flirting,” referring to Christina and Ant.
Tarek joked that Ant had a motive.
While acting as a judge on the show, Ant began talking about his co-parenting relationship with Christina. They share a 5-year-old son. Because of this relationship that they have with each other, Ant felt like he had to pick Christina.
“Hudson is 5 now,” Ant said, referring to their son. “And in those five years, it’s been really, really difficult. And that changed three months ago. The relationship that we have now is really, really important. And it’s been a transformation.”
Though Ant said that co-parenting relationship made him feel like he had to stay loyal to Christina while acting as a judge, Tarek had another theory.
“I think he’s just trying to win you back,” Tarek told Christina. Christina seemingly denied the flirting allegations, and said Ant was probably “jealous.”
“No, I think he’s just jealous of all of our relationships,” she said. “That he got taken off the group text.”
Christina is definitely not flirting with her third husband though.
Although Christina now has a friendly (and maybe, at times, flirty) relationship with two of her ex-husbands, her relationship with her third husband, Josh Hall, is much different. Josh filed for divorce from Christina in July 2024, and since then, Christina has publicly criticized her ex on multiple occasions. Previously, she said Josh could not tolerate her seemingly flirty relationship with Tarek. On the February 26 episode of The Flip Off, Christina suggested that she regretted marrying Josh.
Reflecting on her messy divorce, she said, “Honestly, if I would’ve really understood the repercussions of all of this, I would’ve gotten a prenup or I would’ve never married him.”
