Tariq Al-Mousa has a joke up his sleeve.
The reality star shared her candid thoughts on ex-wife Christina Heck’s estranged husband Josh Hall after a light-hearted exchange on Instagram.
The Flipping El Moussa star responded to Christina’s playful comment on a recent Instagram reel that was jointly posted with his current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.
The couple discussed their upcoming HGTV show, The Flip Off, which premieres Jan. 29.
Christina teased a possible second season in the comments, saying, “Only if @theheatherraeelmoussa is my partner next time. Tarek you can get excited.”
Josh Hall, who originally planned to be Christina’s partner on the show, filed for divorce in July after three years of marriage.
Tariq didn’t hold back with his answer, taking a playful jab at Josh, “Even though Josh slows me down, I can beat the girls.”
Christina quickly replied, “Game on.”
Sharing the angst on his Instagram stories, Tariq took on the competition with his ex-wife as they prepared for the premiere of the show.
In the same video, Heather reflected on how filming the series helped bring the trio closer, despite past challenges in their harmony.
“I feel like it was fun. It brought us all together in a different way,” Heather shared. “They haven’t filmed together in years, and he and I have never filmed or worked together.”
Christina and Tariq were married for seven years and even co-hosted HGTV’s Flip or Flop after they split in 2016.
The former couple have two children, daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden,
