Christina Hall Awkwardly Third Wheels with Ex Tarek El Moussa and Wife Heather in New “Flip Off” Promo
The trio's latest video together following Christina's estranged husband Josh's apparent exit from the series has left HGTV fans divided in the comments
Christina Hall interrupts a cute moment between ex Tarek El Moussa and his wife current wife Heather El Moussa in the latest cheeky promo for the trio’s upcoming show, The Flip Off.
In a video posted on HGTV’s Instagram account on Monday, Sept. 16, Tarek, 43, and Heather, 37, smile as he wraps his arm around her waist and they hold hands.
Hall, 41, then pops up from behind the couple and Tarek and Heather each lean to the side to make room for her face in the frame as they all appear to laugh.
Fittingly, the clip is set to “Me, You and Steve,” a song by the comedy folk duo Garfunkel and Oates, which describes a third wheel and features the lyrics, “I can't believe that it's finally me and you, and you and me, just us, and your friend Steve.”

Christina’s estranged husband Josh Hall, 43, was originally set to be her partner on the show, in which the two couples would "compete to see who can find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain (and a chance at major bragging rights),” according to the network’s description.
After Josh filed for divorce in July, Christina, Tarek and Heather continued to post new promos for the series without him.
Reactions to the new video on social media were divided.
“I love this. Exes and coparents being adults,” one Instagram user wrote, while another commented, “I’m glad they all get along! They’re civil adults and it’s healthy for the kids.”
Christina and her former Flip or Flop costar Tarek, who split in 2016 after seven years of marriage, share daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 9. Christina is also mom to son Hudson, 4, whom she shares with her second husband, Ant Anstead. Tarek and Heather welcomed a son, Tristan, in 2023.
Not everyone was as enthusiastic about the playful skit.
“Seriously why is this a show,” someone else wrote on Instagram, while another comment called the clip “weird.”
While HGTV has not officially addressed the status of Josh's involvement in the series post split, multiple sources told PEOPLE that The Flip Off had returned to filming without him in the wake of the divorce filing.

Josh’s July 15 filing after nearly three years of marriage cited "irreconcilable differences" and asked for spousal support from the Christina on the Coast star.
Christina responded with a legal filing of her own on July 24, which asked that neither partner be allowed to request support, and laid the real estate properties at stake in the divorce — including their $12 million Newport Beach, Calif. mansion.
In the first Flip Off promo released after news of Christina and Josh’s split broke, she and Heather joked that they were the “brains” behind Tarek.
In August, the trio starred in another skit that saw the two women wearing identical outfits while debating what to order at a coffee shop.
"Ladies, ladies, you're gonna want to get the Blonde Hippie,” Tarek advised, adding, “And trust me, I have good taste."
