Maybe it’s something in their past thwarting their future?
Well, we’vealready learned about Christina, so let’s learn about her counterpart, Tarek El Moussa.
At 35, Tarek has amassed quite a bit of success and money.
But it’s no surprise because he started kind of young.
According to aninterviewwith David Bromstad at HGTV, Tarek got his pilot’s license.
“We got up there and the guy told me to make a left turn.
I pull (the yoke) and we went straight up.
He added: “Yeah, I almost killed her.”
And for Tarek, that was really true.
Before the fame of HGTV, the couple struggled to get to where they are.
“When I first started the company, we didn’t have any money.
“They didn’t want to give us money because we were kids.”
That’s all while Christina was pregnant with their first child, Taylor.
Though the couple had financial backing, didn’t mean they had it easy.
He’s a cancer survivor
A very astute fan gave Tarek some life-saving help.
In 2013, a registered nurse who was watching the shownoticed a lumpon Tarek’s neck.
She contacted HGTV to let him know he needed to see a doctor ASAP.
And shockingly, he did.
Tarek received a thyroid cancer diagnosis.
The cancer spread to his lymph nodes.
He had surgery to remove the cancerous cells.
He then underwent radioactive iodine therapy.
In 2015, Tarek got to meet the nurse that helped save his life on the showThe Doctors.
He has business partners
SoFlip or Flopis more like a long-term docu-series than a reality show.
Specifically, the couple are really business partners.
All three now own Next Level Property Investments.
The company not only sells homes, but also doesconstruction and design.
