Heather Rae El Moussa Shares How She and Christina Haack Became Closer
On July 8, El Moussa answered fan questions in her Instagram Stories. On fan asked, “What was the first big moment where you knew you and Christina were going to be besties?”
According to El Moussa, the two women were brought closer together when they worked on “The Flip Off” on HGTV.
“Tarek always said, ‘I know you guys will be really good friends’ because, obviously, he knows both of us really well. Different seasons of his life, but he knows our personalities really well,” El Moussa said.
She continued, “We are good co-parents, really good co-parents, but we didn’t know each other on that deeper, girl level — you know, like that friendship level. And the first time we filmed together for ‘The Flip Off,’ she texted me after, and she’s like, ‘You’re really fun to film with. That was really easy.’ And I was like. ‘Aww. That was such a nice compliment.'”
“It’s true. Not everyone’s good on camera, and not everyone is easy to film with, and not everyone’s fun to film with,” she explained. “And hearing that — because we both had our own successful TV shows, separately, and now we’re building a successful TV show together.”
El Moussa added, “So, I feel like that was kind of the moment we were like, ‘Ooh, we like each other. This is fun.'”
