Tarek El Moussa finds it amusing how much his current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, looks like his ex-wife, Christina Hall.
In a video posted on Tarek's Instagram on May 29, Heather asks Tarek to get her a chai latte at a cafe. While they are getting their drinks, Tarek sees a woman who looks exactly like his wife, with the same long, blonde hair.
Tarek approaches the woman from behind and sits down beside her. To his surprise, he realizes it is Hall, who is 40 years old and dressed in the same white tennis skirt and matching long-sleeved top as Heather. Hall looks irritated as Tarek raises his hands in defense. Soon after, Heather storms over in a huff. "Excuse me?" she exclaims before giving her husband a slap across the face.
Tarek admits that he is confused, as he looks at the camera and rubs his cheek.
In the video caption, Tarek hints at Heather finally doing something that Christina has wanted to do for a long time. Can you guess what that is? It seems to be related to the slap.
Christina’s husband, Joshua Hall, who she married in 2022, reacted with a facepalm emoji. Tarek replied with three laughing crying emojis.
Tarek had shared a video with a similar theme earlier in the month. In the video, Christina and Heather playfully introduced themselves as each other, wearing matching black strapless tops and faded ripped jeans.
Heather noticed something was off as she twirled her hair, styled just like Christina's with long waves and a mini braid.
Christina teased about their blonde locks, joking that it must be all the bleach. The Instagram video on May 14 ended with Tarek saying, "Well, I guess it is confusing."
Heather and Christina didn’t always have such a sense of humor about their similarities. In December 2019, Heather clapped back at fans who pointed out their resemblance.

On her Instagram Story, the Selling Sunset alum responded to accusations of trying to look like someone else. She expressed confusion, stating that she has looked the same her whole life. Christina urged everyone to stop being ridiculous and to focus on more important things.
Heather began dating Tarek in the summer of 2019 and they tied the knot in 2021. During a kids' soccer game in May 2022, there was a well-known disagreement between Heather and Christina. In photos from the Daily Mail, Tarek was seen stepping in to separate Heather and Christina during what appeared to be a heated discussion.
Christina's spokesperson informed Us magazine at the time that a personal issue had been addressed and resolved. The focus now is on working together as a team to co-parent effectively in the future.
Heather and Christina are now friends. They recently exchanged flowers for Mother's Day and shared their gifts on social media. Tarek, who has children with both women, wished them both a Happy Mother's Day on Instagram.
On May 12, he posted, "Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers out there, especially to my wonderful wife, mom, mother-in-law, sister, and Christina! Thank you for loving our kids and family every single day and being there for them."
Christina, who was previously married to Tarek from 2009 to 2018, also has a son named Hudson, who is 5 years old, with her ex-husband Ant Anstead. She and Tarek have teamed up again for a new HGTV series called The Flip Off, scheduled to debut in 2025.
This show will be the first time the former couple has worked together since their previous show, Flip or Flop, came to an end unexpectedly after nine years in 2022. The new series will focus on Tarek and Christina as they compete to buy and flip houses faster than each other, all with the support of their current partners.
