‘Flip Or Flop’ Cancellation Rumors: What’s Next For Former Couple’s Show After Tarek El Moussa Files For Divorce

There’s a good chance HGTV’s “Flip or Flop” will continue on. Although the show’s main stars Tarek El Moussa and Christina El Moussa are officially divorcing, the former couple reportedly still plan on filming their TV show.

TMZ reported Tuesday that Tarek and Christina are “resolved to continue with their show” and want their divorce to be as smooth as possible. “It’s civilized, or as best it can be under the circumstances,” a source told the outlet. “They have to make it work if they want to continue monetizing what they do.”

It was rumored last month that the show’s fate was in jeopardy. At the time, E! Online cited a source who said Christina and Tarek were going to film episodes this year because of contractual obligations but after that “the show will end.”

HGTV never commented on the cancellation rumors, but they lent their support to the former couple. “We admire and appreciate Tarek and Christina’s great work on ‘Flip or Flop.’ When it comes to matters related to their own family, we respect their privacy and honor any decision that works best for them and their children,” the statement read. “HGTV is currently airing episodes of ‘Flip or Flop’ and the series will continue production as scheduled.”

Tarek and Christina reportedly split in May following a gun incident which resulted in police being called to their home. It was reported that Christina saw Tarek grab a gun and run out of their house into the woods. Police and a helicopter later found Tarek, who said he wandered off into the woods to blow off steam. As for the gun, the father of two said he brought it to scare off any wild animals.

The couple didn’t publicly announce their separation until last month. In a joint statement, Tarek and Christina called the gun incident an “unfortunate misunderstanding” and said they wanted to focus on their two kids, daughter Taylor and son Brayden. “Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage,” they said. “We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence and no charges were filed.”

One month after revealing they were separating, Tarek filed for divorce on Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences.
