Tarek El Moussa celebrated a major family milestone with ex Christina Haack and their kids shortly after news broke that he was involved in a physical altercation.

The former couple joined forces to honor their daughter, Taylor, 14, as she wrapped up her middle school experience. “Taylor we are so proud of you and so excited for you to head into the next stage of your life. Our beautiful, smart, incredible, bright light we all love and adore you,” read the caption of a joint Instagram post shared by Haack, 41, on Tuesday, June 10.

The message continued: “We hope all the mistakes you’ve watched us make throughout your life help to guide you to a brighter future…. 😜🤣🤣 love you baby. High school here we come!!!”

Along with the supportive shout-out, Haack included two family photos. The first showed Taylor posing in a blue dress beside her parents and brother Brayden, 9. Tarek’s wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, joined the blended family. The second photo featured more of their relatives.

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall may not be together anymore, but they remain a team for their family. After the pair split in December 2016 following seven years of marriage, they continued to work together on their show HGTV’s Flip or Flop. While the exes remained coworkers they began coparenting their two children: daughter […]

Tarek, 43, shared a glimpse of the group — including his and Heather’s son, Tristan, 2 — celebrating with a meal together.

The social media activity came hours after Us Weekly confirmed that Tarek got into a fight with an unknown man in Las Vegas. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the altercation took place at the Palazzo at the Venetian Resort on Thursday, June 5. Authorities responded to a battery incident after receiving a call at 11:06 p.m. local time. Tarek was given a citation instead of being detained by police. (Us reached out to Tarek for comment.)

Tarek was in Sin City with Heather, 37, and their parents for a speaking engagement. TMZ reported that Tarek was protecting his father when the fight broke out. The other man involved in the altercation allegedly refused medical treatment after being kneed in the head.

Despite the drama, the couple enjoyed every moment together. “Not our average Vegas trip … 🎰💎🖤 Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the ride,” Heather captioned an Instagram upload on Friday, June 6, adding that she felt “grateful” to share the experience with her loved ones.

Back in California, the family fun continued as Tarek and his ex-wife celebrated their daughter’s accomplishment. “We’ve been through a lot,” Haack wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday alongside a photo of herself posing with Tarek and Taylor. “But one thing we’ve always been is great coparents.”

The twosome split in 2016 after seven years of marriage but continued to raise their children — and even work together — post-divorce. Tarek tied the knot with Heather in 2021, welcoming their son two years later. Haack, for her part, has been married twice since her split from Tarek: to Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021 and to Joshua Hall from 2021 to 2024.
