According to a new report, Christina El Moussa is no longer running her tongue over the body of Gary Anderson.
She and the man she dated for a few months after splitting from husband Tarek have ended their relationship.
With her tongue therefore free to do other things, Christina has decided to not bite it.
In other, less confusing terms, what we’re saying is this:
El Moussa hopped on Instagram this afternoon and hurled some shade in the direction of Tarek, her estranged ex and ongoing Flip or Flop co-star.
Both of these HGTV employees have been in the news a lot over the past few days, with Tarek and Christina actually giving duel interviews on Today and Good Morning America, respectively, on Tuesday.
In his pre-taped sit-down, delved into detail regarding the strange incident last May in which he stormed out of his house with a gun, following an argument with Christina.
He said he was never suicidal and simply wanted to protect himself against wild animals in the woods while he blew off some steam via a hike.
Tarek also admitted that it’s been a little awkward filming Flip or Flop with Christina, but that both sides agree on what’s most important these days:
“The number one goal is to co-parent our children. We have to make sure we remain friendly.”
As you can see in the above clip, Tarek didn’t say anything too controversial in his Today Show interview.
Nevertheless, Christina definitely appears to have taken a shot at her soon-to-be-ex-husband in her latest Instagram post.
It’s a photo of a very serious looking tiger, staring into camera, with the following words plastered over his face:
Be selective in your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right.
Our translation here?
I’m right. Tarek is wrong. But I’m gonna take the high road, place my children’s well-being above all else and keep the peace. Even though, remember… I’m right!
What has Tarek said or done that prompted Christina’s shade? We can’t say for certain at the moment.
Elsewhere, Christina opened up to People Magazine for its latest issue, admitting that communication between her and Tarek fell apart to such a degree that they didn’t even drive to the Flip or Flop set together toward the end of their marriage.
She doesn’t sound bitter at this point, however.
“It is what it is and we are going through a divorce and eventually we will be dating other people,” El Moussa tells the publication, adding:
“I’m happy for him and whatever steps he takes in his life and I just hope he’s happy.”
In a newly-released excerpt from the cover story, Christina also tells a sad tale about the separation and its aftermath.
When she first moved out, Christina said she kept the reasons why pretty “vague” in talking to daughter Taylor, which worked for a little bit because the family often renovated their house and would live elsewhere temporarily.
Later, however, once the couple decided that reconciliation was not on the table, Christina says:
“Taylor asked if we could get back together. We had to explain that sometimes couples get divorced but that she and Brayden are our No. 1 priority. We’ll always be a family.”
That’s a sad thing to hear, but a few months after Tarek and Christina called it quits, it sounds as if six-year Taylor and 17-month old Brayden are doing well.
“Our kids are amazing … our kids are transitioning well,” Christina said Tuesday on Good Morning America.
“Tarek and I are friends and we have a lot of support from our family. The kids are doing great.”
