Christina Haack in the 'Fast Lane' With Beau Christopher Larocca (EXCL)
Christina Haack is done holding back on her new relationship with Christopher Larocca and a source exclusively tells Life & Style the Flip or Flop star is getting over her traumatic past marriages and ready for things to heat up fast, as fans catch glimpses of the couple enjoying a sun-soaked Mexican getaway.
“She’s completely changed her tune about going slow and is now in the fast lane with this new guy,” the insider says. “The sun rises and sets on him. The way she raves about him, you’d think he was God’s gift.”
The HGTV star, 41, nabbed herself the CEO of a luxury technology company, who is a stark contrast to her past relationships, a fact the source notes is what she’s loving about Christopher, 52. The Christina on the Coast star suffered some serious and extremely public heartbreak throughout her years on reality television. She was married to Tarek El Moussa, from 2009 to 2018. She then split from second husband Ant Anstead in 2021, with whom she shares son Hudson, 5, and finalized a tumultuous divorce from her third husband, Josh Hall, earlier this year.
But with Christopher, Christina doesn’t have to worry about the power dynamic between her and her beau as a television star or any baggage from her past relationships. “She loves that he’s a CEO with his own successful career and loads of money,” the source explains. “It’s a huge relief after basically being her ex’s sugar mamma.” Christina’s marriage to Josh, 44, was plagued by speculation from outsiders about financial strain and conflict, especially as fans watched the two attempt to navigate their lives post-divorce and work out their coparenting arrangements.
“She is still really bitter about how everything went down with Josh,” the source adds. “So having this new man sweep her off her feet has been a big help for her state of mind.”
According to photos from the couple’s recent vacation to Cabo San Lucas earlier in April prove the change in men is doing wonders. The two were pictured packing on the PDA, holding hands, lounging around by the pool and indulging in some fine dining.
Many are extremely pleased to see the real estate star finally find someone who seems to be good for her. She’s been open about her desire to settle back down with Mr. Right, despite the tumultuous experience of her previous marriages, but is using her better judgement these days.
“Meeting an unexpected good man who has his own amazing career, life & hobbies (who also happens to have zero jealousy) can at times feel strange for someone who has had the opposite,” she posted to Instagram.
“At 41 I’m finally learning about safe communication, independence during commitment and a relationship that is NOT 0-100. I am for sure guilty of putting pressure on others . Facing my own insecurities has forced me into doing the shadow work I’ve been avoiding,” she added. “It’s time to break the cycle.”
“He treats her like a total princess,” the insider confirms. “She’s very happy.”
