Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae spend their days buying, selling and decorating homes for other people (which can be seen on myriad shows with a Max subscription), so it only makes sense that the HGTV stars would have a gorgeous abode of their own to retreat to at the end of the day. The El Moussas recently showed off their new house, and I’m obsessed with it before the redecorating has even begun.
The Flip Off stars (who competed against Tarek El Moussa’s ex-wife Christina Haack on the HGTV competition show earlier on the 2025 TV schedule) dropped $5.2 million for a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom mansion in Newport Beach, California, per Realtor.com. They shared some first glimpses at the rooms on Instagram, and — no surprises here — it’s beautiful. See for yourself:
filed for divorce early into the show’s production, and it was decided they would proceed without him.
There’s been a lot of speculation about look-alikes Christina Haack and Heather Rae El Moussa joining forces against Tarek — the self-proclaimed “king of flipping.” However the teams shake out (and I don’t expect Haack’s new boyfriend to join as their fourth), the El Moussas’ new location should make filming a bit easier, as their house is reportedly just a four-minute drive from Christina Haack’s.
HGTV shows notwithstanding, that’s actually a great situation, given that the Flip or Flop vets share two children in addition to Tarek El Moussa’s son with Heather Rae and Christina Haack’s son with second ex-husband Ant Anstead. As well as making co-parenting easier, the close location could lend itself to more ”perfect” Christina and Heather bikini pics.
The Flip Off Season 2 has yet to be confirmed by HGTV — though the trash-talking has already begun — but I’ll be keeping my eye out for that as much as some before-and-after footage from the new El Moussa digs.
