HGTV Star Says Bravo ‘Informally’ Reached Out to Her to Join the RHOC Cast

“The Flip Off” star Christina Haack says that she was informally approached to join the cast of “Real Housewives of Orange County.”

Deadline reported that Haack appeared on the March 28 episode of Bravo alum Jeff Lewis‘ radio series, “Jeff Lewis Live,” alongside her boyfriend, Christopher Larocca. During the show, a caller inquired whether Bravo has “reached out to [Haack] to be part of the ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ cast.”

Haack, who lives in Orange County and is friendly with RHOC star Heather Dubrow, replied, “Informally, yes.” She said, however, that she believes she isn’t what RHOC viewers are looking for.

“I actually don’t think I would be that good on it. Because I’m really not into girl drama. I feel like I would be so boring. Because I really don’t care,” said Haack during the “Jeff Lewis Live” episode.

Lewis also said he believed the stars of RHOC might “gang up on her.” Haack shared she would not mind if that happened.

“That might be kind of fun. I really don’t mind the ganging up,” said Haack.

Larocca then shared he believed that his girlfriend would “do great on” RHOC. Haack appreciated her boyfriend’s comment and told him he was “a good hype man.”

Heather Rae El Moussa Spoke About Her Dynamic With Christina Haack

Haack filmed with her ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, for the HGTV series, “The Flip Off,” which premiered in January 2025. Haack’s competition partner was supposed to be her now estranged husband, Josh Hall. However, Hall left the series following his and Haack’s July 2024 split.

During a March 2025 interview with Realtor.com, Heather Rae El Moussa said she was not sure if she wanted to get closer to Haack while “The Flip Off” was in production. She explained that she and Haack, who has two children, Taylor and Brayden, with Tarek El Moussa, are successful co-parents and she did not want to risk damaging their relationship. In addition, Heather Rae El Moussa suggested that Hall was causing some issues.

“I think, of course, there were reservations at first, we were are all in a really good place in our co-parenting relationship that I’m like, ‘Are we sure we want to put ourselves in this position, especially when Josh was involved? Is there gonna be fighting, is there gonna be negativity? Are Tarek and him gonna get along? Is that gonna cause problems between us and Christina?’ So there was, of course, some hesitation. And I wanted to make sure she and I kept a good relationship for the kids,” said Heather Rae El Moussa.

She said, however, that she and Haack quickly established a close friendship while filming “The Flip Off.”
