Christina Haack reunites with Ant Anstead on The Flip Off
In a surprising turn on HGTV’s The Flip Off, Christina Haack reunites with her second ex-husband, Ant Anstead, who serves as a guest judge in an upcoming episode. This development adds an unexpected dynamic to the show, where Haack competes against her first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.
In a teaser for Episode 4, Haack informs Heather and Tarek El Moussa via phone that Anstead will be the guest judge, eliciting shocked reactions from the couple. It seems Anstead, known for his critical eye, doesn’t hold back in his evaluations. He points out specific flaws in both teams’ projects, such as missing paint and poorly finished corners in his ex-wife’s renovation, and critiques her design choice of applying wallpaper to the ceiling, stating, “At no point in human existence should anybody put wallpaper on the ceilings.” (via People)
This reunion is particularly noteworthy given Haack and Anstead’s history. They were married from 2018 to 2020 and have a son named Hudson. They went through a contentious custody battle, making their on-screen collaboration unexpected. The El Moussas expressed surprise at Haack’s choice of judge. They didn’t know she and Anstead were on speaking terms. Heather mentioned, “We were like, ‘What? What’s going on?’ It really was like that for us.”
Despite their past differences, Haack and Anstead appear to have reconciled to co-parent Hudson. Haack has emphasized the importance of getting along for their son’s well-being, stating, “He deserves to have us get along.” This newfound amicability adds intrigue to their interaction on The Flip Off.
