In December 2016, Haack and Tarek El Moussa, 43, her first husband and "Flip or Flop" costar, announced they were separating. During their marriage, Haack and El Moussa had two children: Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9.

Eight months later, a mutual friend introduced Haack to "Celebrity IOU: Joyride" star Ant Anstead, House Beautiful reported. Anstead, like Haack, had two children from a previous marriage.

They initially kept their relationship private.

After dating privately for three months, Haack and Anstead shared that they were in a relationship through an Instagram post.

Haack posted a now-deleted photo of the pair biking together, congratulating him on the new season of "Wheelers and Dealers" in the caption, People reported.

Haack and El Moussa's divorce was finalized later the same month.

Haack and Anstead got married at their home in Newport Beach, California. 

They didn't make their engagement public before saying "I do," but Anstead said he and Haack were "celebrating something special" in the caption of a photo he posted of Haack on December 17.

"We pulled off the perfect surprise wedding," Haack told People of the nuptials at the time.

Haack and Anstead shared that they were pregnant in a now-deleted Instagram post.

"The kids are all so excited to meet their new sibling," Haack captioned the post.

Haack's ex accidentally shared that Haack and Anstead were having a son on TMZ Live.

A representative for Haack and Anstead then confirmed the news to People in a statement.

"While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall," the representative said.

Haack took to Instagram in another now-deleted post to share that she had given birth to her third child.

"Ant and I are so excited to welcome Hudson London Anstead into the world. Our hearts are SO full of love and joy," she captioned the post. 

Haack also documented Taylor and Brayden meeting their brother for the first time in her docuseries, "Christina on the Coast."

The couple announced they were separating just a year after Hudson was born. Haack shared the news in a now-deleted Instagram post, according to People.

"Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority," she said. "We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future."

Anstead also announced the separation on his Instagram. His caption seemed to indicate Haack had initiated the separation.

"Anyone who really knows me knows that I don't like to share private matters publicly. I have remained silent while holding on to hope," he captioned a selfie of the pair. "I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness."

Anstead told People that he and Haack weren't struggling to share custody of Hudson at the time.

"There's never been a scenario where I've asked for him and not had him and vice versa," he told People.

A representative for Haack confirmed the marriage was officially over to USA Today.

By the time the divorce was finalized, Haack had already started dating Josh Hall, and Anstead began seeing Renée Zellweger in June 2021.

Haack went on to marry Hall in April 2022.

Anstead said in court documents reviewed by Business Insider that he was Hudson's "primary parent" and that Haack only spent an average of "9 full days each month" with their son.

Anstead also said in the court documents that Haack had put Hudson in "dangerous" situations, including a sunburn so severe it made him cry.

On another occasion, Anstead said Haack returned Hudson to him without telling him her family had COVID.

"At the time, my partner was filming her new project and her covid diagnosis placed the whole production on pause," he said in the filing, referring to Zellweger.

The filing also said that Haack used her time with Hudson to post him on social media, sometimes for sponsored content. Anstead requested that a judge block Haack from posting Hudson in any "commercial endeavor" until they reached a new custody agreement.

Anstead requested a "regular" custody schedule that would give Haack visitation rights on "alternating weekends, Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m. commencing May 6, 2022, in California only, and except for vacations," according to the court documents.

"This will allow Christina's time to be stepped-up over the next several months to match the schedule she has with her other children," the filing said.

Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by BI.

"What Ant is doing deeply saddens me," Haack said. "If this was really about Hudson, as he says, this should have been handled privately with a private judge or mediation, as myself and my attorney have suggested."

"I have had my share of ups and downs, but I am a good mom, and I love my children with all my heart, and I will always protect them," the statement said.

A judge denied Anstead's ex parte custody application on April 28, 2022, both because he did not give Haack enough notice and he did not provide sufficient evidence that Hudson was in danger, according to People.

The judge's ruling scheduled a hearing for June 28 to determine whether Anstead's custody request should be granted.

Representatives for Anstead did not respond to a request for comment from BI on the ruling. Haack declined to comment on the judge's decision.

In a response reviewed by BI, Haack said she was "shocked to see the false allegations against me" and Anstead's "belief that he has been failing to protect our son by sharing custodial time with me."

She denied multiple allegations Anstead made against her in the response, saying he was "misleading" the court about their custody arrangement.

"Mr. Anstead has now taken the position that he is the defacto primary parent of our son, which is not accurate," she said. "Anstead does not count any day wherein we exchange our son as a custodial day for me. He also counts days where I made an accommodation or gave a right of first refusal to him as his day."

"That is why there is a huge discrepancy in his mind from our accurate schedule. His attempt to mislead the court is transparent when presented with the true facts," Haack went on to say. "I do not count my accommodations as decreasing my custodial time, but as me being a supportive coparent."

Representatives for Anstead and Haack did not respond to requests for comment from BI at the time.

In a now-deleted post, Hall shared a photo of himself, Haack, and her three children, saying he would "always protect her."

"Never did I think taking on 3 kids from 2 other males would be easy. What I was sure of, the woman connected to them was worth it all," Hall captioned the post. "I am not these kids biological father, they have those. What I will be is the best example of a quality human being, always show them how to treat their mother with respect and support them in any way I can during their development."

"Christina and I will always remain unfazed by any outside noise and save the kids from any unnecessary trauma," his caption said.

"I will always protect her, keep her safe and no one will hurt her with me in the picture," he said. "She doesn't bother anyone, she deserves the same in return. I will ensure that's the case."

According to court documents reviewed by BI, the mediation was scheduled for June 15, 2022, and their custody hearing was later postponed to March 2023.

Amid the custody battle, Anstead filed a supplemental declaration on September 26, which BI reviewed. He said he and Haack had "resolved" their custody issues "without the need for court intervention" and maintained their son's 50/50 custody schedule.

However, in the declaration, Anstead also reiterated his assertions about Haack's social media posts about Hudson and requested that a judge grant him full legal custody. 

In the declaration, Anstead said Haack had "already exploited Hudson in numerous paid promotions on social media" and that he had a "fear she also has footage of him, to be used in one of her 'reality' TV shows, without my knowledge or consent, and continues to film him despite my objections." 

"l do not believe it is in Hudson's best interests to be exploited by his mother for professional and financial gain," he said. "As she insists that he should be, I ask the court to give me legal custody so I can make the decisions to protect Hudson and prevent this from happening."

Representatives for Anstead did not respond to a request for comment from BI on the matter at the time.

In her supplemental declaration, which BI reviewed, Haack said, "From the start, Ant's intention was not to resolve this matter privately and amicably."

"I have never exploited our son Hudson," Haack's declaration said. "He appeared in a few of my own Instagram ads that each took less than minutes to film. I have all the footage and they were all fun activities that he enjoyed doing, such as playing with toys or making cookies."

Haack also said Anstead wanted to be able to post Hudson on social media and tag his brand Radford, while she had "repeatedly taken the position that I will agree that Hudson shall not appear on television or on social media."

"Ant insists that he be allowed to post Hudson on his social media, while tagging products and businesses," Haack said. "Ant admits in his supplemental declaration that he will usually 'tag' his business 'Radford.' It is Ant who insists that he be able to use Hudson in social media posts to promote the post and expand its 'organic' reach."

"If it is in the best interest of Hudson to be clear of public scrutiny, I feel Hudson should be off all public social media until he is old enough to make his own decisions," Haack said in the declaration.

In the same document, Haack also said Anstead "never had a problem" with Hudson appearing on Instagram or their HGTV shows until 2021, calling his declaration "hypocritical."

Haack noted that Anstead also refused to resolve their issues in mediation in her declaration, making their custody disagreement public record.

"We agreed to resolve this custody matter privately, and yet he continues to file publicly, proving his desire and need for the public's attention," Haack said. "It is all quite disturbing, and now that it is out in the public, it will be far more damaging to Hudson in the long run when he is old enough to see how this matter played out publicly."

Representatives for Haack declined to comment on the matter when contacted by BI at the time.

Haack posted a since-deleted selfie on October 2, sharing in the caption that she would no longer be sharing any photos of Hudson on her social media.

"I am mentally exhausted over the recent false accusations against me," she said. "Hudson's father has made attempts to turn my family, friends and fans against me through manipulation tactics and false information. This has had great impact on me and my household."

"Because of this, I have made the decision to no longer feature Hudson on Instagram, my tv shows or any social platforms until he is old enough to make this decision for himself," she wrote.

Haack also said she'd always been fine with Hudson not appearing on public platforms, though she wanted him to "participate in the fun activities/outings with our family/siblings."

"Hudson's father has made it clear via his public court filings he is using Instagram to rate the kind of parent I am, since that is the only access he has to my personal life," Haack added. "This has been the case since July 2020. This is unnecessary pressure for a platform that is supposed to be used to share moments chosen, rather than a judgment tool…especially since this is a very small fraction of my personal life as the rest is kept between me and my family," she said.

"My personal collection of photos on my phone and in our home are filled with memories of my children, so Hudson will be just fine without having his presence displayed on a public forum," Haack wrote. "Thank you to all the people who can see beyond the nonsense being thrown at me. I am and will ALWAYS remain a protective mother."

Haack has since returned to posting shots of Hudson on her Instagram.

A stipulation to modify a judgment signed by a California judge on November 18 and reviewed by BI states that Haack and Anstead will continue to have joint legal and physical custody of Hudson. Their March 2023 hearing was canceled as a result of the stipulation.

Haack's lawyer filed the papers, but both Haack and Anstead signed them. 

The stipulation altered the former spouses' holiday schedule for Hudson, with the pair switching off for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, July 4th, and Halloween annually, depending on whether the year is even or odd.

The stipulation did not mention how Hudson may appear on Anstead and Haack's social media platforms or television shows.

Representatives for Haack and Anstead declined to comment when contacted by BI at the time.

Haack and Hall filed for divorce in June 2024, less than three years after they tied the knot.

In the months following her separation from Hall, Haack's relationship with Anstead seemed to be on better terms based on her Instagram.

She refollowed Anstead on Instagram in August, which he reciprocated in October. The pair then occasionally interacted on the platform, tagging each other in photos of Hudson on their stories and commenting on each other's posts of their son.

In May 2024, HGTV announced that Haack and Hall were filming "The Flip Off" with Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa. The series would be a competition to see who could profit most from a home flip.

Haack and Hall were competing against the El Moussas on the series, but Haack competed on the show solo after she and Hall split.

In November, Anstead was spotted on the set of the series with Haack, and a month later, HGTV announced Anstead was one of the guest judges who would evaluate spaces in Haack's and the El Moussas' homes for the series.

Anstead judged the guest bedroom and bathroom transformations on the show.

When Haack told the El Moussas on the phone that she selected Anstead as a judge, they both expressed shock, saying, "What?" and "Oh my gosh."

The El Moussas told People they were surprised when Haack picked Anstead, as Heather Rae El Moussa thought they "weren't talking."

Swift arrived at the 2024-2025 NFL season opener to support the Chiefs in a denim set.

She paired the $1,325 Medusa '95 denim corset top with coordinating denim shorts from Grlfrnd, which were available on Revolve for $102. Her maroon boots from Giuseppe Zanotti, which cost $1,650, were a high-fashion way to incorporate team spirit for the Chiefs.

Her accessories, including a $3,950 Louis Vuitton Side Trunk bag and over $60,000 worth of jewelry, made the look even more glamorous.

The 1995 Salem T-shirt, featuring the Chiefs logo, became a dress on Swift, as it was so long it covered her thighs.

The tee showed off her thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti Frannie boots, which cost $1,650, and Swift carried the $4,800 Louis Vuitton Coussin bag.

High-end jewelry, like Louis Vuitton's $625 My LV Chain earrings, added to the sporty ensemble.

Swift turned to Vivienne Westwood for an October game. She paired the brand's $1,875 Sunday corset with the matching $1,010 Meghan kilt, both of which featured plaid fabric with pops of maroon in honor of the Chiefs.

Vivienne Westwood also designed her $1,270 boots and $590 Belle heart-frame Jacquard bag. She added over $46,000 worth of jewelry and glitter faux freckles from Fazit.

The freckles gave the high-fashion look a whimsical twist that was perfect for the game.

Swift made her vintage Chiefs jacket the star of her outfit for this game, wearing the red, yellow, and black piece with a black top and black shorts from Agolde, which she cinched with a $630 belt from The Row.

Swift's other accessories were also black, like her $2,195 Louboutin boots and $3,900 Dior saddle bag. Gold jewelry, including a $4,475 Chanel necklace, a $4,150 ring from Retrouvai, $595 earrings, and a $3,150 ring from Louis Vuitton, elevated the look.

The outfit was cute, but it was underwhelming compared to Swift's other looks for the 2024-2025 season.

Swift's $3,350 red-and-black checked blazer and $1,695 skirt from Versace were the stars of her outfit. She paired the professional pieces with a $34.99 Victoria's Secret corset and Versace's $1,650 Medusa 95 leather knee-high boots.

Swift carried the $2,190 Medusa 95 small tote bag from Versace. She also wore several pieces of high-end jewelry, including the $54,000 gold Tambour Watch from Louis Vuitton and a $32,970 ring from Retrouvai.

The outfit was stylish, but it made Swift look more like a team owner than a WAG. She also wore a better check-patterned look later in the season.

She attended a November game wearing a red Louis Vuitton quarter zip that looked cozy and festive for the occasion. Swift paired the top with $249 pants from Paige, which she tucked into her $1,650 Maison Alaïa boots.

The combination called back to popular fashion of the early 2010s, though it didn't translate as well in 2025. A simpler pair of shoes or wide-legged pants could have improved the outfit.

She strutted into Arrowhead Stadium that day wearing a statement coat from Charlotte Simone. The piece was crafted with faux fur in a vibrant shade of red and had extra fuzzy pieces lining its sleeves, hem, and neckline.

Swift also accessorized to perfection, adding a vintage Chanel bucket hair, sheer black tights, $1,695 Manolo Blahnik boots, and a Tod's messenger bag.

The designer look included a $4,650 wool jumpsuit beneath a $9,600 tweed coat. Swift also added a monogrammed belt with oversize pearls, sheer black tights, Canada Goose gloves, earrings, a purse, and Chanel boots.

She wore the all-black outfit in the middle of January. It was chic and sophisticated but also loose and comfortable enough to sit through a football game.

Swift made a bold move when she attempted to bring back the logomania trend with a $5,000 monogrammed zip-up jacket from Louis Vuitton and a $550 beanie with the same logo.

However, her red tights really didn't work with the black and gold outfit, which cost over $68,000. The tights were too bold in color and too fun in style to complement the cool, streetwear-style garments that comprised the rest of her look.

Rather than rocking red for the Chiefs, Swift arrived at the 2025 Super Bowl in a simple outfit worth over $60,000.

She paired the $3,253 YSL double-breasted blazer with the $1,300 sleeveless ribbed bodysuit from Alaïa, both in shades of white. Sparkly denim shorts offered a pop of color in the look, though she circled back to white with her $1,120 over-the-knee boots from the brand Paris Texas.

Swift also brought color into her look through her accessories, like her $999 Givenchy bag and ruby-encrusted jewelry.

She re-wore the "T" leg chain she debuted at the 2025 Grammys as a necklace, nodding to Kelce and her lyric, "I want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck," from her song "Call It What You Want."

Likewise, her tank top and jean shorts offered a cute reference to Swift's outfit for her first Chiefs game in September 2023.

Despite the nods to her relationship with Kelce, Swift's outfit didn't stand out compared to some of the other looks she wore throughout the 2024-2025 season, as it just looked like a white blazer and boots from a distance.

It would have been nice to see Swift have a little more fun with her outfit for such a big game.

Ivanka arrived at Trump's 2017 inauguration in a white pantsuit from Oscar de la Renta. The suit consisted of slim-fitting pants and a fitted, asymmetrical jacket, which she accessorized with an American flag pin.

The look was stylish, though Ivanka's choice to wear a suit was a bit surprising.

Hilary Clinton, Trump's opponent in the 2016 presidential race, is well-known for wearing pantsuits. Clinton's suit for the inauguration was also white, making it difficult not to compare Ivanka and Clinton's looks.

Ivanka and her sister, Tiffany Trump, also had a matching moment at the 2017 inauguration.

Ivanka changed into a ball gown by Carolina Herrera for the 2017 inaugural balls.

The champagne-toned gown featured a v-neckline, and the bodice, top of the skirt, and semi-sheer sleeves were all covered in sparkly embellishments.

Celebratory and elegant, the dress was a good fit for the occasion.

Ivanka attended the joint session of Congress in a form-fitting berry pink Roland Mouret dress. The dress hit her at the knee and featured a diagonal peplum across the waist.

The dress also had an asymmetrical neckline with a black spaghetti strap on one shoulder. The strap looked more like a bra peeking out from the garment than a part of the dress, making the whole look feel too casual for the event.

Ivanka's close-toed heels also looked clunky with the slim-fitted dress.

Ivanka's pink dress for the 2017 G20 summit cinched at her waist, and the skirt flared to her knees.

The long sleeves were form-fitting until they hit her elbow, where they flared out. A bow also sat on each sleeve.

The combination of the flared fabric and bows made the sleeves look too heavy, detracting from the chic aspects of the rest of the dress.

The look would have been stronger with more streamlined sleeves.

Ivanka attended the 2018 Curling Men's Gold Medal Game in South Korea in a red and navy Aquazzura dress.

The sweater dress had long sleeves and a high neckline, and the stripes appeared to wrap around her figure diagonally. She paired the dress with knee-high, laced boots.

Although the dress was on theme for the event, the stripes were a bit overwhelming to the eye. The look would have been stronger if the stripes didn't crisscross.

When she watched the bobsleigh competition, Ivanka fit right in with Team USA. She paired red pants with a white, red, and blue sweater and accessorized the look with a coordinating coat and a Team USA hat.

Ivanka wore a flared jumpsuit to the Generation Next Summit in March 2018.

It had a v-neckline and belted at the waist, creating a summery look. However, Ivanka wore a black turtleneck under it, which had a different tone and looked out of place with the jumpsuit.

She could have paired the jumpsuit with a blazer or cropped jacket instead.

Ivanka wore an elegant Oscar de la Renta dress to the White House in April 2018 to welcome French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron.

The midi-length dress had quarter-length sleeves and hugged Ivanka's figure. Its asymmetrical neckline was adorned with white fabric that formed a knot on one side.

The dress was simple and chic.

Alexis Nalani designed the midi-length dress, which was white and covered in a layer of black lace.

The bodice had a high neckline, and the sleeves and skirt were made of tiers of ruffles. The lace and ruffles were too much together, and Ivanka's embellished shoes didn't help tone the look down.

The silhouette and fabric could have been pretty on different dresses, but together, they were distracting.

Walking across the White House lawn, Ivanka wore a red, fitted blazer with coordinating, cropped pants. She wore red pumps with the bright look.

Bold and well-tailored, the suit was a win for Ivanka.

Ivanka wore a white top and matching skirt made of textured fabric for a White House briefing in October 2018. The top featured a subtle peplum and coordinating flared sleeves.

Ivanka added a wide, taupe belt to her waist, which matched her pointed-toe shoes.

The belt was a misstep for the look, as it looked outdated with the more traditional silhouette. She could have skipped the belt or opted for a thinner version.

Visiting Google's offices in October 2019, Ivanka wore ankle-length green trousers with a coordinating blazer.

She wore a black top underneath the jacket, which matched her pointed-toe black shoes. The look was stylish and professional.

Joining her father for the January 2020 "White House Summit on Human Trafficking," Ivanka wore a white wrap dress made of a thick fabric.

The bottom of her sleeves flared, as did the skirt, and the dress cinched at the waist with a thick bow. The choice of fabric and wrap style made the dress look more like a bathrobe than a dress.

A sleeker silhouette or fabric would have made the dress more stylish.

When her father was on the campaign trail, Lela Rose designed the sundress Ivanka wore in North Carolina in August 2020.

The midi dress had a high neckline and a form-fitting bodice covered in blue floral embroidery that spilled onto the flared skirt.

She accessorized the look with white open-toed heels and an off-white purse, completing the summery and feminine ensemble.

Ivanka was photographed at the White House with her husband in a turtleneck, brown boots, and a tan, double-breasted coat. She completed the look with sunglasses.

The relaxed outfit was a nice change of pace for Ivanka, and it complemented the fall weather perfectly.

After laying low since her father left office in 2021, Ivanka appeared in an off-white, sparkly set from Lapointe at Kim Kardashian's birthday party in October 2023.

The long-sleeve, cropped top was slightly loose, while the high-waisted skirt was form-fitting until a thigh-high slit cup up her leg.

Nude open-toed Christian Louboutin heels with curved detailing completed the festive look.

Ivanka attended the grand opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas in a Monique Lhuillier gown.

The strapless dress's bodice was black, while the form-fitting skirt was covered in reflective silver fabric.

It was pretty, but the dress would have been stronger if it was completely sparkly, especially for an event in Las Vegas.

Self-Portrait designed the tennis-inspired yellow dress Ivanka wore to the Miami Open in March 2024.

The dress featured ribbed fabric, ruffled long sleeves, a flared collar, and buttons down the front. If that wasn't enough, the two sets of pockets on her waist and chest were distracting from the figure-hugging silhouette, particularly when combined with everything else the dress had going on.

Without the pockets, the dress would have been a great choice for the event.

The garment's square neckline gave way to an exposed corset adorned with subtle, sparkly embroidery.

A swath of fabric cut across the short skirt, adding dimension to the look. She paired the dress with open-toed heels and a clutch, completing the sexy look.

Ivanka stepped away from her more daring looks when it came time for her father to return to the White House.

Ahead of the 2025 inauguration, Ivanka wore an Oscar de la Renta coat with a matching dress. The bottom half of the camel-colored coat was embellished with three-dimensional floral appliques, which added a stylish touch to the monochromatic look.

Ivanka arrived at the 2025 inauguration in a complete hunter-green outfit, a refreshing color for the ceremony that usually sees people wearing shades of red, white, or blue.

Dior designed her asymmetrical blazer, pencil skirt, and coordinating beret. She wore a thin belt around her waist, which matched her black tights and pointed-toe heels.

The ensemble put a high-fashion twist on familiar skirt sets that are common for the DC set.

Ivanka attended the 2025 inaugural balls in a custom Givenchy gown, a recreation of the dress Hubert de Givenchy designed for Audrey Hepburn to wear in "Sabrina," a rom-com released in 1954.

The strapless dress, cinched at the waist, had a slim-fitted skirt that hit Ivanka above her ankles. A detached train flowed out behind her, forming a train. Black floral embellishments sat on the bodice, skirt, and train, and Ivanka nodded to them with matching black gloves and shoes.

She also wore over $1.1 million in diamond jewelry throughout the inauguration.

Nodding to a Hollywood icon at the inaugural balls didn't make sense from a historical fashion perspective. Plus, Ivanka's choice to wear black gloves instead of white, as Hepburn did, lessened the effect of the recreation as well. She should have saved the look for another occasion.

Haack and El Moussa met in the early 2000s when they were working together at a real-estate office in California.

They started dating and became a real-estate team in 2008, and they got married a year later. 

El Moussa and Haack welcomed their daughter, Taylor Reese, after a quick birth.

El Moussa and Haack initially pitched "Flip or Flop" in 2011, when El Moussa had a friend film their audition tape for HGTV.

The network signed the couple for a show in 2012, and episodes started airing in 2013. 

Haack and El Moussa struggled to conceive their second child, so she underwent IVF treatment, as People reported.

After suffering a miscarriage, Haack got pregnant again and gave birth to a son in 2015, Brayden James El Moussa.

In May 2016, police went to the couple's home because of "a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun," TMZ reported at the time. El Moussa was seen running from his home with a firearm, which he dropped after police told him from a helicopter to release it, the outlet reported.

Seven months later, El Moussa and Haack announced their separation, acknowledging the incident in a statement to Us Weekly.

"Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage," the statement said. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago, and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution."

"There was no violence, and no charges were filed. We chose to get counseling to sort out our relationship. Together, we have decided to separate while we reevaluate the future of our marriage," the statement went on to say.

El Moussa reflected on the incident in his 2024 book, "Flip Your Life," writing that he took his gun with him on a hike because of wildlife in the area after an argument with Haack, though that was not clear to Haack when she saw him hop their fence with the weapon in tow. 

"That was the very last time we were together as a family: with Christina walking down the driveway, crying, and me sitting there in handcuffs, asking myself, 'What in the world is going on?'" he wrote of the incident, adding that he was taking testosterone at the time. He quit the next day and ended up living in a halfway house shortly after.

Speaking to BI about his life in January 2024, El Moussa said that hitting rock bottom helped him see his true priorities.

"I didn't even realize how obsessed I was with my kids until I hit rock bottom, until I was on my own, until I started rebuilding my life," he told BI.

"I wasn't present. I wasn't putting in the work," he added. "I wasn't putting in the time that I put into flipping houses. I needed to put that time into being a dad."

Before her divorce from El Moussa was finalized, a mutual friend introduced Haack and "Wheelers and Dealers" star Ant Anstead, as House Beautiful reported. Like Haack, Anstead had two children from a previous marriage.

They initially kept their relationship private and only revealed they started dating in October on their first anniversary.

Haack announced she and Anstead were dating with a casual photo of the duo biking on her Instagram that has since been deleted, as People reported.

She congratulated him on his new season of "Wheelers and Dealers" in the post.

A representative for the former couple confirmed to Page Six that the divorce was finalized.

The exes decided to keep filming "Flip or Flop" together.

Anstead and Haack didn't announce their engagement before their wedding, though Anstead did say they were "celebrating something special" in the caption of a photo of Haack that he posted on December 17, according to People.

They got married at their house in Newport Beach, California. 

"We pulled off the perfect surprise wedding," Haack told People at the time.

Haack and Anstead announced they were expecting in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

Her ex, El Moussa, later accidentally announced the baby's gender during an appearance on TMZ Live.

A representative for Haack and Anstead then confirmed the news to People in a statement. "While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall," they said.

In another now-deleted Instagram, Haack announced that she and Anstead had welcomed their son, Hudson London, according to People.

"Ant and I are so excited to welcome Hudson London Anstead into the world. Our hearts are SO full of love and joy," she captioned the post at the time. 

Haack also documented Taylor and Brayden meeting their brother for the first time in her docuseries, "Christina on the Coast."

A year after they had Hudson, Haack announced she and Anstead were separating in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

"Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority," she said in the statement, according to People. "We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future."

Anstead also posted about the separation on his Instagram, seeming to indicate that Haack decided to end the marriage. 

"Anyone who really knows me knows that I don't like to share private matters publicly. I have remained silent while holding on to hope," he captioned a selfie of the pair. "I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness."

Sometime in early 2021, Haack started dating Austin-based real-estate agent Josh Hall. According to US Weekly, the pair initially met at a real-estate conference a few years before they became involved.

The couple kept the relationship quiet, and it's unclear exactly when they started dating. But in March 2022, Haack confirmed they had been dating since at least March 2021 with a throwback photo of the pair on Instagram that has since been deleted.

A representative for Haack confirmed the marriage was officially over to USA Today.

Page Six published photos of the couple at LAX on their way to Mexico.

Haack posted a now-deleted photo of herself and Hall on Instagram later that day, confirming the relationship and critiquing the media's focus on her love life. 

"I met Josh when I wasn't in a state of fear or fight-or-flight," she wrote. "When we met this past spring, the synchronicities hit us so hard and fast they were impossible to ignore. I felt immediately crazy protective over him and wanted to keep him for myself and get to know each other before the tornado (media attention) hit."

"We decided whats in the past, is in the past. We aren't looking at all the nonsense online," she added. "So yes 'another relationship' and guess what. I'm 38 – I'll do what I want."

Haack announced the engagement with a series of Instagram photos from a trip the couple took to Mexico, which have since been deleted.

E! News initially reported that the couple got married in a "private ceremony" on April 5, 2022. Business Insider was able to confirm their marriage separately.

Haack also changed her Instagram name from "Christina Haack" to "Christina Hall." 

E! News reported that Haack's real-estate license had also been changed to "Christina Hall."

On April 28, 2022, Anstead filed an emergency request for full custody of Hudson. 

In his court filing, which BI reviewed, Anstead said he was Hudson's "primary parent" and that Haack only spent an average of "9 full days each month" with their son.

He also said that Haack had put Hudson in "dangerous" situations, including a sunburn so severe it made him cry.

On another occasion, Anstead said Haack returned Hudson to him without telling him her family had COVID.

"At the time, my partner was filming her new project and her covid diagnosis placed the whole production on pause," he said in the filing, referring to his current girlfriend, Renée Zellweger.

Anstead also said in the filing that Haack used her time with Hudson to post him on social media, sometimes for sponsored content. Anstead requested that a judge block Haack from posting Hudson in any "commercial endeavor" until they reached a new custody agreement.

Anstead requested a "regular" custody schedule that would give Haack visitation rights on "alternating weekends, Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m. commencing May 6, 2022, in California only, and except for vacations," according to the court documents.

"This will allow Christina's time to be stepped-up over the next several months to match the schedule she has with her other children," the filing said.

Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by BI.

"What Ant is doing deeply saddens me," Haack said. "If this was really about Hudson, as he says, this should have been handled privately with a private judge or mediation, as myself and my attorney have suggested."

"I have had my share of ups and downs, but I am a good mom and I love my children with all my heart and I will always protect them," she added.

A judge denied Anstead's ex parte custody application on April 28, both because he did not give Haack enough notice and he did not provide sufficient evidence that Hudson was in danger, according to People.

Haack also filed a response to Anstead's motion on April 29, which BI reviewed. She said she was "shocked" by the filing and that Anstead was "misleading" the court regarding their custody arrangement.

"Mr. Anstead has now taken the position that he is the defacto primary parent of our son, which is not accurate," she said in the filing. "Anstead does not count any day wherein we exchange our son as a custodial day for me. He also counts days where I made an accommodation or gave a right of first refusal to him as his day."

"That is why there is a huge discrepancy in his mind from our accurate schedule. His attempt to mislead the court is transparent when presented with the true facts," Haack also said. "I do not count my accommodations as decreasing my custodial time, but as me being a supportive coparent."

Representatives for Haack and Anstead did not respond to a request for comment from BI on the filing.

Tarek El Moussa married Heather Rae El Moussa in October 2021, and she quickly became a huge part of his life and his children's lives. 

But she did not seem to immediately get along with Haack. The Daily Mail published photos of Tarek El Moussa appearing to pull the former "Selling Sunset" star away from Haack during an argument at Brayden's soccer game on May 9, 2022. The same article also featured photos of Hall and Tarek El Moussa arguing and being separated by a coach.

The two women shared a joint statement with BI at the time.

"A personal matter was discussed and has since been resolved," the statement said. "We are focused on co-parenting as a team moving forward."

The altercation took place after Heather Rae El Moussa appeared to confirm that her husband had called her a "hotter, richer version" of Haack during a fight, in addition to calling his ex a "washed-up loser," as People reported in July 2021.

Shortly after the Daily Mail published the argument photos, Brayden underwent an emergency appendectomy. 

Haack shared on her Instagram story that Brayden's surgery went well, adding that the experience was a "wake-up call" for her. She tagged Hall and the El Moussas in the post. 

"Stressful 24 hours but a good reminder how important team work / co-parenting is," she wrote on her story. "We are all under pressure but when it really matters we were all there for Brayden doing our part."

"Sometimes a scary situation can be a good wake up call," she said. "In the end all the other stuff is just 'noise,' what matters is the kids."

Heather Rae El Moussa echoed the sentiment in a selfie with Brayden and her husband that she shared on Instagram, in which she tagged Hall and Haack. 

"We all pulled together as a family during this stressful time," she wrote. "The kids will always be the main priority to all of us."

In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Haack revealed she and Hall got married in September 2022 in front of their loved ones, including her children. 

"Shared vows in front of family and our close friends," she captioned the post. "Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be."

"My dream man on the dreamiest island," she added. "Maui holds a special place in my heart. What an amazing night filled with love."

After a monthslong custody battle, during which both accused the other of "exploiting" Hudson throughout their legal fight, Haack and Anstead were finally able to resolve their issues and retain joint custody in November 2022. 

Representatives for Haack and Anstead declined to comment on the matter when contacted by BI. 

On May 15, 2024, HGTV shared a promo video for a new show called "The Flip Off," starring the El Moussas, Haack, and Hall. 

The caption said the show would pit the two couples against each other in "a battle to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain."

"Be on the lookout for the spicy new series that'll have you saying, 'What the flip?!'" the caption said. 

According to paperwork reviewed by BI, Hall filed for divorce in Orange County, California, on July 12, 2024. He listed his date of separation from Haack as July 8. The documents said that he was seeking spousal support from Haack.  

Hall's filing also listed the date of their marriage as October 6, 2021, five months earlier than the April 5, 2022, date originally believed to be the day they got married. 

Haack submitted her own request to dissolve their marriage on July 23, 2024, and her request listed their separation date as July 7, one day earlier than Hall's paperwork.

Hall and Haack's divorce proceedings are ongoing. The exes have disagreed about ownership of properties in Tennessee and spousal support. You can read more about Haack and Hall's divorce here.

In a press release shared with BI, HGTV shared that Haack started the competition for "The Flip Off" with Hall but ultimately competed against the El Moussas solo after their split.

Speaking to BI in January 2025, Haack said she thinks it was a "major advantage" that she didn't have to collaborate with Hall on the show because he was inexperienced with house flipping and real estate compared to her.

"I think that without him, it's just easier," she said.

Hall posted a photo of himself with Stephanie Gabrys sitting on his lap on his Instagram story in January. He captioned the post, "Happy 35th to this real life 😇."

On her Instagram, Gabrys says she is a model who lives in Florida, Chicago, and Nashville.

She has not posted a photo of Hall on her Instagram grid, but Gabrys commented on a post Hall made on January 1, writing, "Proud of you and the strong, patient, hard working, generous, and kind hearted man you are! 2025 is going to be the best year yet!"

Hall appeared in the premiere of "The Flip Off," finding a house to flip with Haack for the competition.

The episode also included a tense conversation between the then-couple in a car, during which Hall called Haack "rude" after she didn't understand a reference he made to a billboard, adding that he wished she would "shut up" and that she was "pissing" him off.

Haack told producers Hall had been "a bit moody lately" when speaking of the conversation.

"Josh knows that Tarek and I have a history," she said. "I'm sure some of it is the stress of the competition."

Hall abruptly stopped appearing in the episode after their split happened off-screen.

Hall shared a sneak peek clip of the interaction to his Instagram story ahead of the premiere, writing that it was "manufactured drama." In response, Haack shared a photo of herself crying after a day of filming with Hall.

The first episode of "The Flip Off" also included an emotional conversation between Haack and El Moussa. She shared with him that she and Hall had split after a "blowup over nothing."

"Things with Josh have been bad for a long time. Not just kinda bad, like bad," Haack said on the show. "The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he's not nice to me."

"You make him very insecure," she said to her ex. "Every time we would barely joke at soccer or if I laughed at you, he, like, would not speak to me for two to three days. I would get the silent treatment."

"He doesn't like me," Haack said of Hall. "He calls me cocky. He thinks I'm arrogant when we both know I'm not cocky or arrogant. I just do work."

Haack and El Moussa also reflected on their own relationship in the conversation, and Haack told BI she still gets emotional thinking about their talk.

On January 11, People reported that Haack was dating Christopher Larocca. According to the company's website, Larocca is the president and CEO of Network Connex and has worked in the business world for over two decades. He also has an MBA from the University of Southern California.

On Wednesday, she posted photos of herself and some friends on a private jet with the caption, "Some plane flights must be hard posted."

Haack included two photos of herself with Larocca in the post and tagged him. In one shot, they sit together in a plane seat, and in another, they have their arms wrapped around each other in front of the jet.

She wore a custom piece from Schiaparelli that was tan, covered in sequins, and sleeveless with a scooped neckline.

It was glamorous and called back to old Hollywood with its matching gloves. Still, the outfit also honored Beyoncé and her latest body of work, "Cowboy Carter."

The dress was beaded with small white Bs and a larger paisley print, which gave the gown a subtle Western vibe.

She walked the red carpet that year wearing a Stéphane Rolland gown crafted from a satin fabric.

The neutral-colored dress had short puffed sleeves, a plunging neckline with a zipper detail, and textured shapes from top to bottom.

The same design would have looked cool on a top or skirt individually. However, the pattern was overwhelming on a dress and too strong for such a delicate shade and fabric.

Beyoncé also wore gold hair tinsel and statement earrings that clashed with the gown's color.

Beyoncé changed into a metallic number from Armani Privé during the awards ceremony. The short dress had statement short sleeves, a deep-V neckline, and loose chains that intentionally hung from the garment.

The outfit was eye-catching, glamorous, and perfectly accessorized.

She wore it with gold platform sandals, statement hoop earrings, and an assortment of bracelets and rings.

Giorgio Armani designed her dress, which was strapless and made from silk.

Its silver color looked stunning on Beyoncé, but the dress didn't seem to fit her right. Its neckline flap was uneven, and its wrapped skirt was just a touch too long, making it appear to have excess fabric.

The dress was also embellished with large crystal pieces at the waist and neckline, so Beyoncé didn't need the oversize jewelry to elevate the outfit.

Beyoncé wore three different outfits throughout the 2023 Grammys, and her final look — a black velvet Schiaparelli gown — was one of her best.

The strapless dress featured an angular, square-shaped neckline, hugging her figure and cinching at the waist.

She paired the dress with matching gloves for an elegant and fashionable look.

Beyoncé arrived at the awards show in an Osman jumpsuit with short sleeves and a high neckline. Most of the look was black, though one sleeve and half the bodice were white.

The ensemble wasn't as exciting or high-fashion as some of her other outfits, and it appeared more professional than red-carpet ready.

The gown, designed by Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, hugged her figure and featured ruching on the bodice and waist, forming a pleat down the center of the skirt.

Bejeweled netting created a halter neckline, and gems ran down the center of the bodice.

Gold earrings and shoes completed the gilded look, which was perfect for an evening on which she won five Grammys.

She accepted a Grammy onstage that year in a Schiaparelli minidress. The leather garment had off-the-shoulder sleeves, a V-shaped neckline, and ruched fabric that made the piece edgier.

While the sheer tights she wore pulled the look together, her black gloves did the opposite. The leather pieces with gold nails distracted from her outfit and made it look more like a costume.

By removing the gloves, fans could have appreciated her statement earrings and stunning hairstyle better.

Tarek El Moussa married Christina Haack in 2009. They starred in HGTV's "Flip or Flop" and have two children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9.

The couple separated in 2016, seven months after police were called to their house because of "a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun," TMZ reported at the time. Tarek was seen running from his home with a firearm, which he dropped after police told him from a helicopter to release it, TMZ reported.

"Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage," Tarek and Haack said in a statement to People on the matter. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago, and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence, and no charges were filed."

Tarek addressed the incident in his 2024 book "Flip Your Life," saying he decided to go on a walk after a fight with Haack and was carrying the gun to protect himself from wildlife.

In a February 2024 conversation with Business Insider, he also described his divorce from Haack as "the most difficult period" of his life, particularly because of the media attention their separation received.

"I don't know what it was about me and Christina, but we got so much press for years, and it just wouldn't slow down," he said. "It wouldn't go away."

Tarek and Haack's divorce was finalized in January 2018, and he went on to star in "Flipping 101" solo. "Flip or Flop" ended in 2022.

As the couple shared on the "Not Skinny Not Fat" podcast, Tarek and Heather first connected when he slid into Heather's Instagram DMs a few months before she started filming Netflix's "Selling Sunset." He asked her out, but she said no because she had a boyfriend at the time.

On July 4, 2019, Tarek and Heather, who was then single, were cruising on separate boats off the coast of Newport Beach, California, for the holiday, according to People.

When their boats were docked near each other, Heather came onto Tarek's boat to speak to a mutual friend. Sparks flew, and Tarek asked Heather on a date again. This time, she said yes.

TMZ captured photos of Heather and Tarek kissing in Redondo Beach, California. 

The pair announced their relationship with matching Instagram photos. 

"It's official," Tarek captioned his post. "After more than 3 years on my own I'm so PROUD to say that this beautiful, sweet and talented young lady is my girlfriend."

"I'll be honest and say I never thought I would meet someone special in my life after the last three years," he went on to write. "Then...out of the blue @heatherraeyoung walked into my life."

Heather said she was "so proud to call" Tarek her boyfriend in her post.

"This incredible man @therealtarekelmoussa came into my life at the perfect time and I haven't stopped smiling since," she wrote. "I am so proud to call him my boyfriend, I just look at him in awe at what an amazing, talented and kind human he is."

On the same day that they announced their relationship, Tarek and Heather did an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

In the interview, Tarek shared that he introduced Heather to his family, including his two children, the night before.

"I introduced her to my kids last night for the first time," he said in the interview. "My mom, my dad, my mom's husband, my sister. So, we're doing it! Very excited."

Tarek also said in the interview that Heather was everything he didn't know he had been missing.

"I just went through some pretty traumatic things in my life and honestly I was very happy being comfortable on my own and I didn't realize what I was missing until I found what I was missing," he told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "I was sad for a very long time; I was alone for a very long time, and I feel like she's really brought me back to life, which is very, very fun to say."

The crew members Tarek works with on HGTV surprised him with a birthday cake and rendition of "Happy Birthday" to celebrate his 38th birthday, as he documented in an Instagram post.

Heather was with him during the surprise, and Tarek introduced her to the crew as his "birthday present" after saying it was the "best birthday ever."

The "Flipping 101" star revealed that Heather and Haack had already met during an appearance on "GMA3."

As he told hosts Michael Strahan, Keke Palmer, and Sara Haines, Haack and Heather met when he and Heather went to pick up his kids. He only gave both women five minutes' notice that they would be meeting.

"I was like, 'Oh, I'm coming over to see the kids. By the way, my girlfriend is coming. See you in five!'" Tarek said of what he told Haack.

"I looked at Heather, and I was like, 'Are you ready?' And she was like, 'Ready for what?' I was like, 'Well, we're going to go see the kids, and my ex-wife is there,'" he said.

Tarek added that he and Haack had not formally discussed his new relationship before the two women met, but they "got along great."

"They both eat that healthy, hippie food," he joked. "They do that weird hiking stuff."

Heather and Tarek went to Amsterdam and Paris for their first Thanksgiving together, as they documented on Instagram.

A month later, they spent Christmas Day with Tarek's children. 

"My heart is so full of love," Heather wrote in an Instagram post about the day. "@therealtarekelmoussa and the kids have changed my life more than I can even describe. This is our first Christmas together and it's one I'll never forget."

"I just adore Tarek's family so much," she added.

Tarek announced on Instagram that he and Heather had been living together "for a while" at the end of January 2020. He said they split their time between a home in West Hollywood and another in Orange County.

"The best part is I now have someone to go to bed with and wake up to every day," he wrote. "The better part is that person is @heatherraeyoung."

Tarek later revealed in another Instagram post that he and Heather moved in together "less than a week after our first date."

Both Tarek and Heather took to Instagram to celebrate one year together.

"From the first day I met you, to our first date and our second date when we decided to commit 100% before we barely even knew each other. But we knew what we had was special. We had that butterflies in your tummy, can't eat, can't stop smiling soul mate love," Heather captioned her post. "You are my very best friend in the whole world. The man I look up to, admire, adore, best daddy, best heart, kind & most important loyal and honest."

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," she added. 

Tarek echoed Heather's post, saying he would be "lost" without her.

"The second our eyes connected and we smiled at each other I knew my life would never be the same," he wrote. "She is incredible in every way possible and most importantly she loves and adores Tay and Bray."

"I just love you to the moon and back. You are my everything and you complete me. I'd be lost without you," Tarek said of Heather.

The couple announced their engagement with matching Instagram posts.

Tarek popped the question on the beach, which Heather said was a complete surprise in a follow-up post.

Tarek told People he knew he wanted to make Heather his wife after seeing how she was with his children.

"We were sitting on the boat one day, and I looked over, and she had Taylor in one arm and Brayden in the other arm, and they're all three cuddling," he said. "That was the moment I knew I had to make her my wife and bring her into the family." 

People also reported that Tarek proposed with an eight-carat diamond. The emerald-cut ring sits on a gold band.

The pair bought a home in Newport Beach, California, where they first met, as People reported.

"Tarek originally bought it as a flip but then they decided to make it their new home," a representative for the couple told People at the time.

As US Weekly reported, Heather revealed on Instagram that she got a tattoo on her hip that read, "Yes sir, Mr. El Moussa" as a Valentine's Day present for her fiancé. 

She later deleted the post after fans reacted with mixed reviews, according to People.

People reported that Tarek yelled at Christina Haack on the "Flip or Flop" set and compared her to Heather.

"Look at me, look at me, look at me. It's called winning," Tarek said to Haack, according to People. The publication also reported that he called his ex-wife a "washed-up loser" during the incident.

The couple added their puppy Bugz to their family as a surprise for Taylor and Brayden, as Tarek wrote on his Instagram.

"It's one of those moments where you know your kids will look back on it and remember it forever," he wrote.

The couple got married near Santa Barbara, California, with Heather wearing a Galia Lahav gown. They filmed the wedding for an HGTV special, "Tarek & Heather: The Big I Do."

"I'm a WIFE!!! Yesterday feels like a dream… so perfect, filled with so much love and magic," Heather captioned an Instagram post about the event. "Truly everything I've ever wanted and more. I love you so much @therealtarekelmoussa and now I get to say we're officially MARRIED!!"

Heather also shared on Instagram that she and Tarek said vows to his children during the wedding.

"When your daddy and I decided to be fully committed, I was 100% committing myself to you too," Heather said she told the kids in her vows. "I am beyond honored to be your 'bonus' mommy. Thank you for allowing me to love your daddy with all my heart. I love you both more than you will ever know."

Heather told Today that she didn't think she wanted to have children until she met Tarek.

Heather went on to tell Today that she found out she had a low egg count in her 20s, so she decided to freeze her eggs and create embryos through IVF after they got married to transfer in the summer of 2022. Heather documented the process on social media.

"I'm glad I decided to share my story on Instagram because struggling with infertility can feel very isolating," she told Today. "I also want to encourage women to think about their fertility in their 20s."

On April 12, Heather posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram of fresh tattoos on her and Tarek's arms.

Both were inked with "10.23.2021," their wedding date, on their forearms. Heather's wrist had a smaller "TEM" tattoo, while Tarek's had "HEM" in the same place to represent each other's initials. 

In March 2022, "Flip or Flop" ended amid reports that filming had become "too intimate" for Tarek and Haack to film.

Then, Heather seemed to confirm that Tarek had compared her and Haack during the "Selling Sunset" reunion, which aired on May 6, 2022.

Just three days later, the Daily Mail published photos of Heather and Haack at Brayden's soccer game, in which the pair appeared to be arguing. In separate photos, a coach seemed to be separating Tarek from Josh Hall.

Heather and Haack released a joint statement on May 11, saying they had resolved "a personal matter." On May 13, they posed for a photo together and said they were focused on co-parenting after Brayden underwent an emergency appendectomy, which Haack said was a "wake-up call."

HGTV announced the series "The Flipping El Moussas" in a press release provided to Business Insider.

The press release said the show would document Tarek and Heather combining their home flipping and renovation skills, as well as their IVF journey, a move, and a renovation. 

"We are so excited to bring viewers into our world to see the ins and outs of our day-to-day lives," the El Moussas said in a statement included in the same press release.

"As busy parents and successful real estate experts, fans can watch us as we go from making breakfast for the kids in the morning, to making business deals by the afternoon," the statement said. "The cameras are capturing our journey like never before and we can't wait to share it all."

"Bringing our expertise together from each of our worlds has been so much fun," Tarek and Heather wrote in an Instagram post about the series. "We are working on all new flipping projects - from multimillion-dollar homes in Los Angeles to a tiny cabin in Big Bear, California, and everything in between that we cannot wait to share with you."

"We'll also be giving a little peek into our everyday lives with the kids, our loved ones and our journey to grow our family," the post went on to say.

The El Moussas announced on Instagram that they were expecting a baby in early 2023.

They opened up about the pregnancy to People, saying it was a "huge shock" because they were scheduling an appointment to implant an embryo via IVF when Heather found out she was pregnant naturally. 

"We just weren't expecting this," Heather told People. "We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan."

"I think when you least expect it, and there's no stress in your life, the world just brought us what was meant to be," she added. "I'm so excited that it happened like this."

Tarek and Heather shared that their third child would be a son with an Instagram reel in which they popped blue confetti poppers alongside Brayden and Taylor. 

Heather posted on her story that she was "shaking" and her heart was racing ahead of the reveal.

Heather and Tarek announced on Instagram that their son, Tristan El Moussa, was born on January 31, 2023.

Speaking to Business Insider just over a month after Tristan's birth, Heather said her close bond with Taylor and Brayden made her want to have a child.

"They're very special kids, and I'm so in love with them, and that's what made me want to have a baby, as well as my love for Tarek," Heather said. "This is the kind of relationship you dream of and hope for. I found the love of my life, and I wanted to create a beautiful baby with him."

The series spotlighted the couple flipping homes, and it gave peeks at their home life together as well.

Ahead of the premiere, the couple told BI that working together only made them closer.

"We love being together," Heather told BI. "Tarek and I really trust each other, and we value each other and respect each other."

The show was confirmed for a second season in July 2023, and it premiered in December 2024.

HGTV announced it would reunite Haack and Tarek on-screen alongside their new spouses in a house-flipping competition series called "The Flip Off."

In the show, the El Moussas were set to compete against Haack and Hall to see who could make the most money off of a flip. However, Haack and Hall split in July 2024 after filming had begun, so Haack ended up competing in the series solo.

Tarek and Heather expressed their support for Haack amid her divorce to paparazzi on July 23, 2024, as E! News reported.

"We support her," Heather said.

"Whatever she needs, we're here to help," Tarek echoed.

The series premiere featured some dramatic moments, including an emotional conversation between Tarek and Haack about her divorce.

Although they're competing against each other on the show, Haack and the El Moussas seem to be on good terms, with Haack and Heather hugging each other on the show.

The El Moussas and Haack even told BI before the premiere that they were open to flipping a house as a team.

In episode one, Haack and the El Moussas attend a soccer game to support Haack and Tarek El Moussa's son, Brayden.

Haack and her ex-husband started chatting about business on the sidelines, and she mentioned that some house-flipping projects she and Hall took on in Tennessee weren't going well.

"So, you needed the master there," Tarek El Moussa said. "I wasn't there to help you guys. If you guys want, if you pay for my plane ticket, I'll go help you guys."

Haack disagreed and asked about his real-estate projects, which he also said had been difficult because of increasing interest rates. He implied that Haack couldn't have known about that without him.

"Oh god. You act like I've never flipped a freakin house," Haack said. "Can you show some respect for your older children's mom?"

The pair and Heather Rae El Moussa agreed to compete in "The Flip Off" shortly after.

As part of the competition, each team was given a week to find a home to flip for the series.

Haack and Hall thought they found the perfect home on their first day of searching, putting in an offer on a property and even taunting the El Moussas about the find.

Just two days before the deadline to find a home, they discovered a lien was placed against the house, which meant they couldn't buy it within the needed timeline.

They found another property to renovate before the deadline was up, but it added stress to the process for the pair.

Hall and his father completed the demolition portion of his and Haack's flip instead of hiring a team, both to save money and because Hall said he enjoys demos.

Amid the project, Hall spoke to his father about El Moussa's approach toward flips, as El Moussa doesn't do much of the manual labor for his projects.

"Tarek, he says, 'I'm not handy. I'm not getting dirty. I'm not sweating,'" Hall said.

Hall then FaceTimed El Moussa, and when he answered, El Moussa appeared to be sitting on a couch.

"When I was a rookie flipper, I used to do the work, too," El Moussa responded. "When you're a pro like me, you get to sit on the big couch."

El Moussa taunted Hall, saying Haack would go over budget and "mismanage" their flip.

"Get out here, act like a man, and put on a shirt that's not $700, and you can save money on demo," Hall responded.

In one scene of the premiere, Hall and Haack discussed the competition while driving to the property they're flipping.

Hall said he would do "whatever it takes to win" and added, "Halls rule." Haack didn't immediately respond, which seemed to aggravate him.

"Remember, you're a Hall now," he said. "Don't get confused in this competition about what your last name is."

"When I met Josh, my name was still Christina El Moussa on everything," Haack told producers in a one-on-one interview. "Josh did not like that, and he was all about me becoming a Hall."

The scene cut back to Haack and Hall in the car. Haack got confused when Hall mentioned something about a billboard they passed, which led Hall to call Haack "rude" and say he wished she would "shut up" and that she was "pissing" him off.

Speaking to producers, Haack said Hall had been "a bit moody lately."

"Josh knows that Tarek and I have a history," she said. "I'm sure some of it is the stress of the competition."

HGTV shared a shorter version of the car clip ahead of the premiere, and Hall responded on his Instagram story, saying it was "manufactured drama." In response, Haack then shared a photo of herself crying, which she said was taken after one of her days filming with Hall.

Later in the first episode, Haack invited Tarek El Moussa to her home, where she told him that she and Hall had split up after a "blowup over nothing."

"Things with Josh have been bad for a long time. Not just kinda bad, like bad," she said. "The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he's not nice to me."

"You make him very insecure," she told El Moussa. "Every time we would barely joke at soccer or if I laughed at you, he, like, would not speak to me for two to three days. I would get the silent treatment."

"He doesn't like me," Haack said of Hall. "He calls me cocky. He thinks I'm arrogant when we both know I'm not cocky or arrogant. I just do work."

Haack then got emotional, reflecting on how difficult her personal life has been since she and El Moussa separated in 2016.

"I feel like I try to hide it and act like I'm not affected, but then I just do more stupid things to try to make myself feel better," she said through tears. "And I just keep doing it. And getting into things too fast that I know aren't right."

El Moussa told Haack not to be hard on herself, and they both apologized for the pain they caused each other over the last nine years.

In episode one, Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa discussed their design plans for their kitchen and living area, with the former "Selling Sunset" star showing her husband samples of the cabinets she planned to use in the kitchen.

Tarek El Moussa asked to see options, but his wife told him she had already made her selection, saying, "I don't need your decision."

"Wow, you don't need my decision," he repeated. "Wow."

He also questioned his wife's intention to "take risks" with their design, and she replied that she didn't want it to be "boring."

"It's Heather's house," she said. "And yours."

"Just like our son. It's Heather's son. And mine," Tarek El Moussa said as his wife laughed. "This house is yours. And mine."

Heather Rae El Moussa also became frustrated when her husband suggested a tweak to her vision for the fireplace.

"You're upsetting me. You're upsetting me," she said. "I am so stressed out. You don't even understand. Everyone's gonna be talking smack about me against her."

In an interview with producers, she then said that she wanted to prove to Haack that she was just as good a designer as she was.

As Haack's kitchen came together, she realized the spot where she originally intended to put her pantry looked out of place.

"With all the divorce drama, I overlooked a major flaw in the kitchen cabinet design," she said. "My original plan called for the pantry to be on the left side of the kitchen. But now, I think we need to move it to the right so we can open the space up."

However, the change made her want to add more counters and cabinets to the left side of the room. Her counters were being delivered the next day, so she wasn't sure she could make the change happen.

Luckily, her supplier had the additional counters, so Haack's vision came to life exactly as she pictured.

Haack faced another hiccup during judging. She poured ice water down her sink as her kitchen was being evaluated, not knowing the drain wasn't fully attached. Water ended up all over the floor, and the guest judge for the episode, Heather Dubrow of "Real Housewives of Orange County," dinged her for the mishap.

The El Moussas won the kitchen challenge, though Dubrow said she preferred Haack's design.

Because she lost the kitchen competition, Haack had to give the El Moussas something worth $2,000 for their primary bedroom competition.

They selected a dresser, and Haack brought Izzy Battres, the contractor she and her ex-husband worked with for years on "Flip or Flop," with her to deliver it. Though she was competing alone, the El Moussas had been asking Haack who her new partner for the series was, so she brought Battres to confuse them.

"I just love getting in Tarek's head and messing with him, and Izzy's definitely along for the ride," Haack said.

When they arrived at the El Moussas' home, Tarek El Moussa was shocked to see Battres and Haack together.

"Is that your new partner?" he said. "You're going down, Izzy, if you teamed up with her."

"Traitor," Heather Rae El Moussa said to him through a laugh.

"I know where you live, I know where you work, I know everything about you," Tarek El Moussa told Battres, though he appeared to be joking. He eventually hugged Battres, and the pair brought the dresser into his home together.

In the episode, Haack's contractor asked her if she had court proceedings the following week.

"It got postponed because he made a horrible offer," Haack said, speaking of Hall. "He asked for $3.5 million from me."

It's unclear when the episode was filmed, and Haack and Hall's divorce proceedings are ongoing.

The day the primary suite challenge ended in episode two, the El Moussas arrived at the home to stage the space before judging.

However, when they arrived, they found issues in their primary bathroom. Parts of their walls were painted the wrong color, the ceiling and baseboards hadn't been painted at all, and there were some small holes in the wall.

Tarek El Moussa did some last-minute painting, but he painted the ceiling the wrong color.

"You guys are all stressing me out," his wife said when he told her he painted the ceiling the wrong color.

Haack's and Tarek El Moussa's mothers judged the primary suites and noted the issues with the ceiling. However, the El Moussas still won the primary suite challenge.

In the early 2000s, El Moussa and Haack met while working at a real-estate office, as he shared in his 2024 book "Flip Your Life."

They joined forces professionally and personally, and in 2008, the housing market crash hit them hard. According to The OC Register, they had to move to a cheaper home before "Flip or Flop" started.

In 2009, El Moussa and Haack tied the knot on Coronado Island in San Diego.

Shortly after getting married, Haack gave birth to the couple's first child, Taylor.

According to "Flip Your Life," El Moussa had a friend help him film an episode of a reality show that detailed how to flip a home in 2011.

He submitted the episode to a production company, which loved it. The company created a sizzle reel of El Moussa and Haack, and HGTV became interested in making the show come to life.

In 2012, HGTV signed the couple for a weekly program about the process of flipping houses, which would become "Flip or Flop."

The series premiered in April 2013.

As El Moussa shared in "Flip Your Life," a "Flip or Flop" viewer who was a nurse noticed a lump in El Moussa's neck while she was watching the show. She emailed producers about it, leading El Moussa to see a doctor.

He was diagnosed with stage 3 thyroid cancer after exploratory surgery, and he had his thyroid and the surrounding lymph nodes removed. He also underwent radioactive iodine therapy to treat the cancer.

Two months after he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, El Moussa decided to look into his medical history, and he ended up getting diagnosed with testicular cancer after noticing something abnormal on a test. He had one testicle removed to treat the cancer.

Both cancers are in remission today.

In 2015, Haack and El Moussa welcomed a son, Brayden.

Us Weekly reported that, on May 23, 2016, Orange County police were called to El Moussa and Haack's home in response to a "possibly suicidal male with a gun."

Eyewitnesses reportedly told police they saw El Moussa "run out of his back door, jump over his back fence, and walk northbound into the hiking trails of the Chino Hills State Park."

A witness said Haack was following him and was "crying and shaking." One of Haack's friends was in the home at the time and told police she saw him grab a handgun before he left.

In "Flip Your Life," El Moussa said he left their home "after an especially heated confrontation with Christina" and took a pistol with him in case he saw any wildlife. He also said in the book that he had a concealed carry license for the firearm.

El Moussa also wrote in "Flip Your Life" that Haack called the police, and they took him home in handcuffs after tracking him down via a helicopter, as per their "protocol."

He added that the incident marked the end of his marriage to Haack.

"And that was the very last time we were together as a family: with Christina walking down the driveway, crying, and me sitting there in handcuffs, asking myself, 'What in the world is going on?'" he wrote in his book.

In December 2016, El Moussa and Haack officially announced their separation in a statement to Us Weekly, referencing the firearm incident.

"Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage," the statement said. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution."

"There was no violence and no charges were filed. We chose to get counseling to sort out our relationship. Together, we have decided to separate while we reevaluate the future of our marriage," the statement went on to say.

"During this process, we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be," they added. "We will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together."

About a month after announcing their separation, El Moussa's lawyer told People that El Moussa had officially filed for divorce and confirmed that he was requesting spousal support from Haack.

In the spring of 2017, amid reports that Haack and El Moussa weren't getting along, Haack spoke to E! News about their relationship.

"The kids are great," she said. "My son is literally like the happiest kid on the planet. He brings so much joy to our lives. Taylor is amazing. She's feisty and funny. She's a very sweet, loving girl."

"Tarek and I are in a very good place right now," she said. "We're doing a really good job. We share the kids 50/50, and our communication is great. Like I said, the kids are happy, so everyone's doing really well."

Haack filed her own petition for divorce in August 2017.

In her filing, she cited "irreconcilable differences," according to People.

During an appearance on "The Doctors," El Moussa said he felt his marriage to Haack failed because of communication issues.

"I feel like if we had better communication, we would have had a better relationship," he told them. "I think as time went on, you get busier and busier. It was like overnight: businesses, TV, all these things happened overnight, then the cancer and the back surgery. It just kind of started pushing us apart from each other."

A representative for the pair confirmed to Page Six that their divorce was finalized on January 22, 2018.

The exes continued to film "Flip or Flop" after the divorce.

Haack and Anstead, a former HGTV star and the owner of Radford Motors, first started dating in October 2017. They tied the knot just over a year later, in December 2018.

They welcomed a son, Hudson, nine months later in September 2019.

Although El Moussa and Haack continued to film "Flip or Flop," Haack also filmed her own HGTV docuseries, "Christina on the Coast," which spotlighted her solo renovation endeavors.

The first season of the series gave HGTV double-digit rating growth, according to a press release from the network.

She went on to film "Christina in the Country" as well.

El Moussa helps new home flippers learn the ropes of the business in "Flipping 101 With Tarek El Moussa."

El Moussa proposed to Heather of "Selling Sunset" fame on their first anniversary.

The couple moved in together after just a week of dating.

On Instagram, Haack shared that she and Anstead were separating after less than two years of marriage.

Their divorce was finalized in June 2021, according to USA Today.

People reported that El Moussa yelled at Haack and compared her to his then-fiancée amid "Flip or Flop" filming.

"Look at me, look at me, look at me. It's called winning," El Moussa said to Haack, according to People. The publication also reported that he called his ex-wife a "washed-up loser" during the incident.

People later reported that a source said El Moussa was "super remorseful" about his comments. But the same source said that Haack and El Moussa weren't friends.

"They're exes who share a history and children and a workplace, but outside of co-parenting, they're not friends," the source told People.

Haack announced she was engaged in a now-deleted Instagram post.

Hall, a real-estate agent based in Austin, and Haack only dated for a few months before he popped the question.

The reality stars said their vows near Santa Barbara, California. Young also officially changed her last name to El Moussa.

They had their first baby together, Tristan, in February 2023.

The duo shared the news in separate Instagram posts, saying a March 2022 episode of "Flip or Flop" would be the series finale.

HGTV confirmed the series was ending in a statement provided to Business Insider, adding that Haack's and El Moussa's individual series would continue.

"Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack are long-time, fan-favorite stars on HGTV, and it's true that 'Flip or Flop' is coming to an end after an epic 10-season run as a top-rated unscripted series," a representative for HGTV said in a statement to BI. "More than 90 million viewers have watched the popular series since its premiere in 2013."

"We look forward to seeing more of Tarek and Christina's real life, real estate and renovation adventures in upcoming episodes of their solo series 'Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa' and 'Christina on the Coast,'" the network added.

Neither Haack nor El Moussa mentioned each other in their posts.

People reported that a source familiar with the situation said, "Tarek and Christina are generally cordial. They're co-parenting, and nothing gets in the way of that."

"The show was just too intimate of a setting at this point, and it was time to close that chapter," the source said.

Representatives for El Moussa and Haack did not respond to a request for comment from BI at the time.

On May 9, 2022, The Daily Mail published pictures of the El Moussas, Haack, and Hall at Brayden's soccer game on May 8.

In some pictures, Heather Rae El Moussa and Haack appear to be arguing, and Hall and Tarek El Moussa look like they are fighting in separate photos. The Daily Mail reported that Brayden's soccer coach had to separate Hall and Tarek El Moussa.

The incident occurred just one day after Heather Rae El Moussa seemed to confirm on the "Selling Sunset" reunion that her husband had called her a "hotter, richer version" of Haack during their on-set fight.

On May 11, 2022, representatives for Haack and Heather Rae El Moussa confirmed they argued in a statement to BI and said they had "resolved" their issue.

"A personal matter was discussed and has since been resolved," the statement said. "We are focused on co-parenting as a team moving forward."

On May 8, Haack shared on Instagram that Brayden had an emergency appendectomy, as well as his Meckel's diverticulum removed.

In an Instagram story she posted on May 9, Haack said the experience was a "wake-up call."

"Stressful 24 hours but a good reminder how important team work / co-parenting is," she said on her story. "We are all under pressure but when it really matters we were all there for Brayden doing our part."

"Sometimes a scary situation can be a good wake up call. In the end all the other stuff is just 'noise,' what matters is the kids," the post went on to say. Haack tagged Heather and Tarek El Moussa, as well as Hall, in the post.

Heather Rae El Moussa posted a similar sentiment on her Instagram story.

"We all pulled together as a family during this stressful time," she said. "The kids will always be the main priority to all of us."

After the show's abrupt ending in March 2022, Haack and El Moussa reunited to film a proper finale for the series later in the year.

The finale aired on December 1, 2022. It showed the exes renovating a 2,200-square-foot duplex home and reminiscing about the series' 11-year run.

In a press release announcing the series, HGTV described "The Flip Off" as "a battle to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain'" in which the El Moussas would compete against Haack and Hall.

The show marks El Moussa and Haack's first on-screen reunion since "Flip or Flop" ended.

Both Hall and Haack filed for divorce in July.

Haack deleted nearly all traces of Hall from her social media following their separation.

The El Moussas spoke to paparazzi about Haack and Hall's separation, saying he wasn't part of "The Flip Off" following the split, E! News reported.

"We support her," Heather Rae El Moussa said.

"Life's tough. Shit happens," Tarek El Moussa said. "We got one shot at life, and we gotta do what's best for us, so whatever she needs, we're here to help."

Haack spoke to Entertainment Tonight about her breakup and "The Flip Off" in an interview that aired on November 15. She told the outlet she "did not enjoy" filming with Hall.

"It was not fun, to be honest," Haack told ET. "I did not enjoy filming with him. So having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier."

She added that filming "would have been hard" because Hall was jealous of Tarek El Moussa.

The El Moussas spoke to ET separately, and Heather Rae El Moussa agreed that filming with Hall wasn't fun.

"I don't want to be mean, but it was kind of nice to see him go," she said.

"The Flip Off" will premiere on January 29, 2025.

Ralph Lauren Collection designed the knee-length, powder-blue dress Melania wore to Trump's inauguration in 2017, as well as the coordinating shrug and gloves she wore with the look.

She accessorized the outfit with pearl earrings and blue, pointed-toe heels.

The full ensemble evoked Jackie Kennedy's style. From the bright color to the nod to one of America's most iconic first ladies, Melania's look was the perfect choice for her husband's first inauguration.

Hervé Pierre custom-designed Melania's off-the-shoulder dress for the inaugural ball.

The cream dress had an A-line silhouette, a thigh-high slit on one side, and three-dimensional fabric that curved across the bodice. A thin red belt cinched at the waist for a pop of color.

The dress felt high-fashion, connecting the first lady to her past as a model as she stepped into a new role.

In August 2017, the Trumps visited Corpus Christi, Texas, following Hurricane Harvey to assess recovery efforts.

The pair wore casual attire, with Melania arriving in a white button-down, black jeans, and sneakers. She also added a black baseball hat to her look that said "FLOTUS," first lady of the United States, on the front.

Melania's outfit quickly became a source of social-media chatter, with some saying her hat called attention to her in the wake of the natural disaster while others praised her casual outfit.

When greeting Justin and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau at the White House in October 2017, Melania wore a gray pinstripe suit instead of a dress.

The suit featured high-waisted pants, and she paired it with a white button-down and an untied black tie. The outfit was unexpected for a first lady, offering a fun style moment.

In April 2018, the Trumps hosted Japan's prime minister at the time, Shinzo Abe, and his wife, Akie Abe, at Mar-a-Lago, during which the first lady wore an off-the-shoulder dress from Carolina Herrera.

The dress was covered in black and white stripes, with thicker black stripes on the bodice and the pattern reversed on the midi-length skirt.

She added white heels to her look, and Trump wore a navy and white striped tie that matched his wife's look. The coordinating outfits were an atypical but welcome choice for the couple.

Melania greeted President Macron of France and his wife Brigitte in a black minidress and black pumps at the White House.

The standout feature of her outfit was a Givenchy tuxedo cape, which added a flair of personality to the otherwise simple look.

The first lady changed into a silver Chanel dress for the dinner.

Most of the form-fitting dress was covered in textured fabric, while the top of the bodice and bottom of the skirt were made of a sheer, black fabric adorned with silver embellishments.

The fabrics didn't blend well, making the dress look too busy. It would have been a better look without the sheer fabric.

In June 2018, Melania visited an immigration facility in McAllen, Texas, where children were living, wearing a green Zara jacket that said "I really don't care, do u?" on the back.

Critics said the jacket was insensitive to wear for the visit, critiquing both the first lady and the president for the fashion faux pas.

Melania's former aide, Stephanie Grisham, wrote in her book "I'll Take Your Questions Now" that the president yelled at Melania for wearing the jacket, though Trump and the first lady both said she wore it to send a message to the left-wing media.

Melania wore a floor-length wrap dress from Ralph Lauren to celebrate Independence Day 2018.

The blue-and-white gingham dress was fun and festive for the holiday, but the oversize red belt tied at her waist overwhelmed the look.

If the first lady had swapped the bow for a thinner belt, her dress would have been more effective.

Melania posed for photos in front of pyramids in Egypt wearing cream trousers, a white blouse, a black tie, and a sand-colored Ralph Lauren blazer. A white-and-black boater hat completed the look.

The outfit may have been innocuously stylish in a different venue, but some social-media users thought the outfit looked similar to one worn by "Raiders of the Lost Ark" villain René Belloq during his visit to the pyramids in the film.

It wasn't the first time Melania faced criticism for one of her outfits on her visit to Africa. During her tour of the pyramids and the Great Sphinx, Melania told reporters, "I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear," following backlash for wearing a white pith helmet.

"You know what? We just completed an amazing trip," she added. "We went to Ghana, we went to Malawi, we went to Kenya, here we are in Egypt. I want to talk about my trip, not what I wear."

Donald and Melania Trump arrived at the White House on the evening of December 27, holding hands as they walked across the lawn.

While the president was in a suit, Melania wore a green jacket, light-brown pants, and matching shoes.

The pants might have been a better choice for a daytime look, as it was difficult for some to tell if the first lady was even wearing bottoms at first glance in the dark. The addition of sunglasses to her nighttime look was also an odd choice.

Melania's outfit would have worked better during the day or with different pants.

In April 2019, the first lady was photographed at the White House in a black-and-white polka-dot dress designed by Alessandra Rich.

The high-neck dress cinched at the waist with a black belt, coordinating with the dots on the dress, and hit her mid-calf.

Melania wore a cream coat over her shoulders and her signature sunglasses, adding glamour to the feminine look.

During a visit to the UK, Melania attended a state dinner with the royal family in a Dior gown.

A layer of semi-sheer fabric covered the gown's scooped neckline, forming points on the top of the bodice before transitioning into white fabric. The dress hugged her figure before flaring slightly at her waist.

Melania wore white, elbow-length gloves with the dress. The look was fitting for dining with royalty.

Ahead of a dinner at Winfield House, where the American ambassador to the UK lives, Melania was photographed in a red Givenchy gown.

Melania's floor-length dress was sleeveless and featured a built-in cape, a silhouette Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, often favors.

During another visit to the UK in December 2019, Melania stepped out in a high-neck, cape coat from Valentino. The coat was mustard yellow, and Melania paired it with a pink dress and coordinating pumps.

The jacket was a big statement in and of itself, so the look would have been more effective if the first lady had worn a more neutral color with it than bright pink.

Melania's black Dior sundress was fairly simple. The midi-length dress featured a V-neckline and a white, dotted pattern.

The white lace belt from Alaïa and white Christian Louboutin pumps she wore with the dress made the look cohesive, and she also added sunglasses to the outfit.

The look balanced Melania's personal style and traditional first lady attire.

Melania appeared alongside Trump in a hot-pink midi-dress from Jason Wu at the 2020 RNC.

The dress featured a boat neckline and a flared skirt, and two black bows sat on the waistline, which appeared to be cinched with elastic. Melania wore black pumps with the dress.

The bows on the dress could have been chic, but they looked a bit crumpled throughout the night, particularly because they sat atop the ruched waistline and contrasted so heavily with the pink fabric. The dress would have been a better fit if there had just been one or no bows on the waistline.

Melania wore a cape dress to close out the RNC, choosing a neon-green piece from Valentino.

The ankle-length, high-neck dress was covered in vertical pleats and featured two swaths of fabric flowing out from her shoulders like a cape. She added a thin pink belt and pink pumps to the outfit.

The silhouette was beautiful, but the green color was an odd choice for the RNC. The color detracted attention from Trump, and as Vanity Fair reported, it allowed social-media users to easily make memes out of the outfit using green screen technology.

If she had worn the dress in a different color, Melania's look would have been a slam dunk.

Melania oversaw the delivery of the 2020 White House Christmas tree in a gingham coat from Balenciaga.

The loose-fitting coat featured an off-center line of buttons, and the collar formed a scarf that wrapped around one of Melania's shoulders. Quarter-length sleeves showed off the first lady's black gloves, just as the knee-length hem spotlighted her black boots from Alaïa.

The look was effortlessly chic.

When Trump left office in January 2021, Melania chose to wear an all-black outfit.

She paired a form-fitting Dolce & Gabbana dress with a cropped Chanel coat, gloves, Christian Louboutin pumps, and dark sunglasses.

The look seemed to nod to Jackie Kennedy, just as her first outfit as first lady did. However, the darker hues spoke to the more somber tone of the day for the Trumps.

Melania also made headlines for changing into a beachy dress before arriving at Mar-a-Lago later in the day.

Rather than wearing another pastel look to mark the beginning of her husband's second term as president, Melania donned navy and white for the 2025 inauguration.

Adam Lippes designed her coat, which she paired with a white scarf, navy pumps, and a custom boater-style hat from Eric Javits. Boater hats are typically worn in summer, but the wool piece Melania wore offered a winter version.

Although the hat got some negative attention online as people compared it to the one the Hamburglar or V in "V For Vendetta" wore, Melania's inaugural outfit was a savvy choice. The look set a serious tone, blending professional style with Melania's personal taste.

Melania also managed to pull attention from Trump with the look, which was a feat considering how many eyes he had on him throughout the day.

Melania opted for another custom Hervé Pierre dress for the 2025 inaugural balls, arriving in a black-and-white dress that felt like a continuation of the fashion story she started with the look she wore during the day.

The strapless dress had an off-the-shoulder neckline, and a zig-zag of black fabric adorned the bodice before framing a slit on one side of the skirt.

A coordinating choker with a brooch completed the stylish gown.

If you discovered "Fourth Wing" on BookTok, you're probably already familiar with Sarah J. Maas' "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series about faeries.

But despite it all, she got what she wanted: an immortal life with Tamlin, the High Lord of the Spring Court.

Feyre's life in the Spring Court starts feeling more claustrophobic by the second, especially when Tamlin forbids her from leaving the house. To her shock, she finds refuge with Rhysand, where she uncovers truths about the Night Court, Rhys, and herself that will change everything she thought she knew.

"Divine Rivals" has the enemies-to-lovers fun and secrecy of Yarros' series, though Rebecca Ross sets her fantasy story against the backdrop of a newsroom instead of a war college.

Iris Winnow is desperate to get promoted to columnist at the Oath Gazette to keep her family afloat. Her mother has fallen into alcoholism since her brother left to fight in a war of the gods, and Iris feels like she is one missed paycheck away from falling into ruin.

She's competing for the promotion against Roman Kitt, her infuriatingly handsome coworker who makes her feel small every time she sees him, and her chances of success feel slimmer and slimmer with each passing day.

The only comfort Iris has is writing letters to her brother on her grandmother's old typewriter. She doesn't know where he is, so she slips the letters under her wardrobe, where they completely disappear. Iris is hopeful her letters are somehow reaching her brother — until a stranger writes back.

Ross's story evolves into an intoxicating fantasy full of romance and longing, and its sequel, "Ruthless Vows," is also available.

If the dragons in Yarros' fictional world were the most exciting part of "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" for you, you may want to give Naomi Novik's "His Majesty's Dragon" a try.

The novel is set in the 1800s during the Napoleonic Wars. Will Laurence is a normal captain in the British forces until he captures a dragon egg. When it hatches, he bonds with Temeraire and becomes a rider, fighting in the skies.

Laurence will have to learn how to fly and fight in the middle of the war — or risk his and Temeraire's lives.

"Bridge Kingdom" by Danielle L. Jensen will definitely scratch the enemies-to-lovers itch "The Empyrean" series left behind.

Lara and her sisters have trained their entire lives to bring down the Bridge Kingdom, a society that decides which goods come in and out of her lands thanks to the intricate bridge it controls. Lara aims to marry the Bridge Kingdom's ruler, King Aren, and destroy him from the inside once she gains his trust.

When Lara finally arrives at Bridge Kingdom, it's nothing like she expected, nor is the kind and generous king who rules over it. As she makes a new home in Bridge Kingdom and sees the possibility of a life with Aren, Lara must determine who is lying — her father or the man in front of her.

"The Inheritance Cycle" series by Christopher Paolini may fall into the young-adult category, but the high-fantasy writing and emotional coming-of-age journey the hero goes on throughout the books will make it just as exciting for adults as it is for younger readers.

In the series opener, Eragon is just a teenager living a simple life on a farm with his family until he stumbles upon a blue stone — which turns out to be the first dragon hatchling born in his country in a century.

Eragon immediately becomes a Dragon Rider when his dragon, Seraphina, hatches, setting him on a path of magic and danger, as the only living rider is supposed the king.

Like Yarros' series, "The Inheritance Cycle" is an epic journey of dragons and their riders, full of magic, romance, and adventure.

Amanda Bouchet's "The Kingmaker Chronicles" is a three-part series full of magic, gods, and romance that will appeal to Yarros fans who were drawn to Violet's powerful signet, as well as Xaden's dedication to her.

In the first installment "A Promise of Fire," Cat Fisa has been on the run for years. She was born with the ability to tell when people are lying, a once-in-a-generation power that makes her the "Kingmaker." But Cat wants nothing to do with her power — or her family in the North that would use her for it — so she stays hidden, pretending to be a soothsayer in a traveling circus in the South.

When Griffin, the general of a newly established human kingdom, sees her, he knows what Cat is immediately and takes her in the hopes of protecting his family's throne. Cat won't go down without a fight, though, and Griffin's hostage becomes even harder to control when powerful members of her family come looking for her.

As they make their way toward his family's castle, Griffin will have to convince Cat his family is worth working with — a task that becomes even more difficult when he realizes he doesn't want Cat to just work with him; he wants her to be his wife.

If you liked the modern flair in the "Empyrean" series, you'll fall head over heels for Sarah J. Maas' steamy "Crescent City" series.

In "House of Earth and Blood," half-fae Bryce Quinlan thrives after graduating from Crescent City University, living with her best friend, the werewolf and alpha of the Pack of Devils Danika Fendyr.

Bryce has everything she wants — until she comes home to find Danika and the Pack of Devils murdered by a demon. She thinks the culprit was arrested, but a year later, similar murders start up again in the city.

Because she's the only one who saw the demon that killed her friends, Bryce teams up with Hunt Athalar, a Fallen angel enslaved to work for the Archangels who run Crescent City, to solve the mystery. As the investigation progresses and Bryce and Hunt's attraction to each other grows, the unlikely pair will discover secrets about Crescent City that could upend their world as they know it.

Maas published three books in the series to date, including "House of Flame and Shadow" in January 2024.

Just as Violet was raised to hate Xaden Riorson, Persephone Dimitriou's fear of Hades was instilled in her from childhood in "Neon Gods" by Katee Robert.

Trusting Hades feels like Persephone's only option after her mother promises her hand in marriage to Zeus, the leader of the 13 houses in the city of Olympus whose wives mysteriously end up dead.

Persephone decides to run away from the city instead of marrying Zeus, seeking refuge with Hades, a man she wasn't even certain existed until she winds up on his doorstep. Luckily, Hades wants revenge on Zeus, too, and they agree making him jealous is the best way to do it.

Hades and Persephone decide to put on a show, but neither expects the real, palpable attraction that develops between them.

A.K. Caggiano's "Villains & Virtues" trilogy has all the magic and enemies-to-lovers fun of the world of "Fourth Wing" with a heap of slow-burn tension and a lighter tone than Yarros' work.

In "Throne in the Dark," Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne is determined to free his demon father from his magical imprisonment and take over the world by his side. There's just one problem: a beautiful, sickeningly sweet human named Amma, who accidentally becomes one with the magical weapon he needs to bring down the mortal powers that be.

Damien has no choice but to travel the realm with Amma to find a way to separate her from the weapon. He could just kill her, but Amma proves to be surprisingly helpful — and to his horror, she isn't the worst travel companion he could imagine.

Amma has secrets of her own, though, and she and Damien will have to work together to get through their respective missions unscathed. And worst of all, as he spends more time with Amma, Damien starts to wonder if what he truly wants is the human by his side.

Ali Hazelwood is best known for her New York Times bestselling, STEM-centered romance books, but her first paranormal novel "Bride" can definitely help "Empyrean" fans with their book hangover after they finish "Onyx Storm."

In "Bride," vampire Misery Lark is about to marry Lowe Moreland, the Alpha of the Weres, as part of a historic peace deal. Most vampires would be afraid of agreeing to bind themselves to their natural enemies, but after spending most of her childhood as an emissary among the humans, Misery is ready to take on the risk — especially since she needs the Weres' resources to try to track down Serena, her human foster sister who went missing without a trace.

Misery plans to avoid Lowe as much as possible, but from the moment they meet at their wedding, Misery seems to perplex and infuriate Lowe for reasons she can't understand (aside from their species' century-long feud). Soon, he's keeping a closer eye on her than she would like, and she might not mind his presence as much as she thought.
