Two weeks after his ex Christina El Moussa married new husband Ant Anstead, the dad-of-two broke his silence on his ex-wife moving on with another man — and what that meant for the future of his family. Tarek and Christina publicly separated in December 2016 and finalized their divorce in January 2018. Since then, they’ve been jointly raising the kids and continue to film Flip or Flop together. “Christina got married,” Tarek, 37, stated in one of a number of Instagram Stories Thursday. “Yes. I’m actually happy for her. I think it’s a great thing. I think they get along well and most importantly, it’s good for my children.” The HGTV star — who shares daughter Taylor, 8, and son Brayden, 3, with Christina — went on to squash any rumors that he was “devastated and depressed” over his former wife’s new marriage.

I just want everybody to know that I’m doing fantastic and I’m super happy and I’m positive and I’m glad that she found someone. It’s a good thing, it’s a positive thing,” he said. “I’m not the type who wants to fight with her for the rest of my life and make my kids miserable,” Tarek added. “The truth is everything we do is about the kids and at the end of the day my kids are going to have a stable household and she’s going to have help and that’s exactly what they need.” Wedding of Christina El Moussa and Ant Anstead.

It’s the theme my daughter wanted.” RELATED VIDEO: Tarek El Moussa Says His ‘Number One Goal in Life’ Is to Be the ‘Best Dad’ as He Admits Fatherhood ‘Is Not Easy’ Courtesy Tarek El Moussa “You can’t truly enjoy the holidays unless you live in it,” said El Moussa, who took his entire family skiing in Vail, Colorado after the holidays. “No matter how stressed or busy you are, at the end of the day, coming home to my family surrounded by cozy holiday décor gets me right back in the holiday spirit,” he added.
