Tarek El Moussa says a recent Instagram post doesn't have anything to do with Christina Hall's latest split.
Tarek El Moussa is shooting down rumors that he posted a subtle reference to his ex-wife and HGTV co-star, Christina Hall's, recent divorce.
Tarek took to his Instagram Stories on Monday and shared a photo of a street sign that read "Bittersweet Lane." Almost immediately, fans began to speculate if it was a low-key message about Christina and her recent divorce from husband Josh Hall after three years of marriage.
Tarek, however, was quick to shut down said speculation, writing a follow-up post, which read, "This has nothing to do with Christina."
"I was on a walk looking at cool houses and found the street name neat and wanted to share," Tarek explained. "Please stop sending me nasty messages. Thank you."
While it's somewhat hard to imagine how the street name in question could really even be related to the recent news, the post did come just days after Christina and Josh filed to dissolve their marriage.
Josh, 43, initiated the proceedings by filing for a dissolution of marriage on July 16, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court documents.
The documents list the date of separation as July 8. Christina, 41, has also filed her own divorce papers, marking the end of their whirlwind relationship.
The couple's romance began in 2021, following Christina's high-profile and tumultuous divorce from Ant Anstead. That July, Christina opened up about her new relationship with Josh in an Instagram post, expressing a desire to shield him from the intense public scrutiny she often faced.
In September 2021, Christina announced their engagement on Instagram, showcasing a diamond ring during a vacation in Mexico. The couple secretly wed in April 2022. Later that year, in September, they celebrated their union with a second ceremony in Hawaii, with Christina and Tarek's two children in attendance.
Christina shares daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with Tarek, as well as son Hudson, 4, with Ant.
ET also learned last week that Christina and Tarek's upcoming HGTV series, The Flip Off, will still move forward in spite of her divorce.
Just months after HGTV announced that the exes and Flip or Flop alums would reunite for a new TV show that features them going head to head with their respective spouses -- Tarek is married to Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa -- it appears things are going through some changes.
The show -- which will premiere in 2025, according to a previous release from the network -- was initially pitched as a competition between the married couples to "see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain, and the chance at bragging rights."
According to one person close to The Flip Off production, the show only recently started filming scenes "a few weeks ago" and the team behind the series is still "figuring out what the plan is moving forward" without Josh in the picture.
