Flip or Flop's Christina Haack's Best Quotes About Her Family: I 'Love How They Love Each Other'

Words of wisdom! Christina Haack has opened up about motherhood time and time again, whether she’s gushing about her blended family or sharing tips on coparenting. The Flip or Flop alum married Tarek El Moussa in 2009, and the couple welcomed two kids together. Taylor arrived in 2010, followed by Brayden in 2015. Although the reality stars separated in May 2016 and finalized their divorce in January 2018, they continued to film their HGTV show together. "We’ve been doing this a really long time — it’s part of who we are and what we do,” El Moussa said on the Today show in December 2018. “And for us to just throw everything away … it just wasn’t worth it. And at the same time, we love the crew, we love the show, we love our fans and we love the network." In 2017, the Christina on the Coast star started dating Ant Anstead, a British television host with two kids of his own. The Wheelers Dealers star welcomed Amelie in 2003 and Archie in 2006 with his ex-wife, Louise Anstead. He and Haack tied the knot with a surprise wedding in January 2019, blending their families — and it wasn’t long before the newlyweds conceived their first child together. [jwplayer FEbeWx43-zhNYySv2] “@ant_anstead and I are so excited to announce #babyanstead coming this September!!” the then-pregnant star captioned her Instagram reveal in March 2019. “The kids are all so excited to meet their new sibling. #5 #Gonnaneedabiggercar.” She cuddled up to Ant in the announcement photo, holding out an ultrasound pic. Her husband used the same sonogram shot, although he placed it next to selfies of Amelie, Archie, Taylor and Brayden. “And then...... there were FIVE!!!” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “(Well .... four and a half! Will be Five in September)!!” The duo, who called it quits after Hudson's September 2019 arrival and finalized their divorce in June 2021, have been open about their coparenting relationship over the years.

'We Are So Proud'

Christina paid tribute to daughter Taylor on her 12th birthday in September 2022.

"Happy Birthday Taylor 💕! Times goes by way too fast and watching her grow up so much this past year has been 😱," the proud mom wrote via Instagram alongside a series of photos of the preteen. "We are so proud of Taylor!! She does great in school, excels in club soccer and has a nice group of friends. I love you beautiful / sweet girl, keep shining. ⭐️💕."

Hudson's Big Day

When Hudson celebrated his third birthday in September 2022, Christina gushed over her little boy in an Instagram post. "Happy Big 3️⃣ Hudson!! SO smart, cute and sweet," she wrote alongside several adorable snaps of the toddler. "Hudson is super witty and knows how to be sarcastic and tell jokes. He impresses everyone with the way he communicates. I love our laughs and cuddles. He lights up our home and lives. We’ve been celebrating all week but can’t wait to make him feel extra special today."

Defending Herself

When Ant filed for full custody of Hudson in April 2022, Christina told Us in a statement that she considers herself to be a “good mom,” adding, “What Ant is doing deeply saddens me. 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 love my children with all my heart and I will always protect them.”

Pressing Pause

“Need time to slow down ASAP!!” Haack captioned a March 2022 Instagram selfie with her eldest child. “Taylor [is] becoming a preteen right before my eyes. No matter what age we are, we have always been jamming to our music and having our car talks.”

Best Bond

“I am so impressed with what an amazing big brother Brayden has become,” Haack captioned a March 2022 Instagram photo of Brayden and Taylor. “I’m not just saying it, I really am. He asked to share a room with Hudson and they have been loving bunk bed life. Life post-divorce can be very complicated but love for my children and their love for each other never is.”

One Decade Down

Perfect Priorities

Christina admitted in January 2020 that "going from two [kids] to three is hard." She told Entertainment Tonight: "I've been trying to spend a lot of one-on-one time with each of them and taking them on dates because it is a big transition. I just take it one day at a time. I do try to schedule out the week and I do make sure that when I get home, I'm done. That's when my emails can get really backed up because when I get home, I need to be totally present for the kids. There's just way too much going on.”

New Year

One of Christina’s 2020 goals is “traveling with the fam,” she captioned an Instagram photo of herself, Ant and their five kids in matching plaid pajamas.

Baby Boy

“He’s definitely been my hardest,” Christina told Us exclusively of her son, Hudson, in December 2019. “He still really just likes being in the house. He doesn’t like going out. As a very busy family, that’s been very difficult. But since he hit the 3-month mark, he’s been doing a lot better. A lot more smiles and coos and sleeping better, so I think we’re on the right track.”

Quality Time

“Tarek loves to take the kids [to Chuck E. Cheese], which is good for him,” Christina told Us Weekly exclusively in May 2019. “I’m more of a go to the park [person]. Let’s swim or let’s do something without a crowd.”

Inked

In May 2017, Christina honored her children with a forearm tattoo. "Been wanting this for a long time," she wrote on Instagram. "No time like the present."

Key to Coparenting

"It’s important when you’re coparenting to make sure that you’re on the same page,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2018. “We have a schedule where we make sure that if one of us has to travel, that the other picks up for the other one. And we just make sure that whatever’s best for the kids is what we’re going to do."

She added: "Brayden was only 9 months when we separated and it’s really all that he knows. Taylor, she just has adjusted really well. We just make sure that we’re always very positive around them. We just make sure that we’re together at activities like sports games and school functions. She’s just a really, really happy kid.

New Nuptials

"[The kids] loved the wedding," the HGTV personality told Us exclusively in February 2019. "They each got up and made little speeches, and we really included them on the big day. They’re all doing really good. They’re settled, happy and content."
