Christina Haack's new boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, made a surprising appearance during the finale of HGTV’s The Flip Off, which aired on Wednesday. Just weeks after her third husband, Josh Hall, was cut from the show, Haack’s romance with Larocca is becoming public, and fans are noticing.
The 41-year-old TV personality and entrepreneur first sparked dating rumors with Larocca late last year when they were spotted together in Europe. Their relationship became Instagram official last month after Haack shared photos from a lavish getaway aboard a private jet.
In the season finale, Haack competed against her ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, in a high-stakes house-flipping showdown. The competition wrapped up with Jeff Lewis announcing Tarek and Heather as the winners at Christina’s Newport Beach home.

Christopher Larocca, however, stayed in the background during the finale and did not interact with Haack on camera. He blended in with the crowd but wasn’t involved in the drama that unfolded between Haack and her exes.
Sources reveal that Christina and Christopher had been quietly dating for several months before the public found out. According to an insider, the couple was often seen around Newport Beach, even traveling abroad together.
Their relationship remained largely under the radar until Haack posted vacation photos of them enjoying their time together, including one snap with a glass of champagne while on their private jet.

Back in October 2024, Haack shared that she had a "most incredible week" in Europe, where she was spotted with Larocca, holding hands after a luxurious dinner. Fans quickly noticed their growing bond when Haack posted images from their getaway.
Christina’s divorce from Josh Hall, her third husband, has been filled with drama and public tension. The two were married for nearly three years before announcing their split in July 2024. Haack has been vocal about her regrets, particularly about not having a prenup, which she expressed in a conversation with her friend, Cassie Schienle.
Haack shared how Josh’s settlement offers felt unfair, stating that he appeared to want to “retire off me,” even though he didn’t work for years during their marriage. Christina expressed her frustration, saying, "I would've never married him if I’d understood the consequences."
Despite the personal turmoil, Haack found a distraction in the competitive world of The Flip Off. The show’s production gave her a chance to focus on flipping houses while navigating her difficult divorce.
Things got heated when Christina discovered that Tarek and Heather had used a drone to spy on her project. In retaliation, she and her contractor hatched a plan to sneak into Tarek and Heather’s house while they were having a garage sale.

The playful moment turned into a comedic chase when Haack and her contractor tried to escape after grabbing some photos and items. The hilarious chase ended with them speeding away in their SUV just in time to avoid getting caught by Heather.
Despite the competitive tension, Tarek and Heather were reportedly supportive of Christina during her divorce. Haack revealed in an interview that they were aware of the problems in her marriage to Josh and weren’t surprised by the split.
Tarek and Heather were especially supportive while Christina was filming The Flip Off, offering a source of emotional support throughout her personal challenges.
Haack later admitted that filming the show helped her cope, providing a much-needed distraction from the ongoing divorce drama.
With her relationship with Christopher Larocca gaining public attention and her divorce from Josh Hall ongoing, it seems Haack is ready to move forward in both her personal and professional life. Fans are excited to see how this chapter unfolds, especially as Haack continues to juggle the complexities of her relationships and career.
