‘Flip or Flop': 6 Updates Since the El Moussas Announced Their Split (Photos)

News broke that Tarek and Christina El Moussa, the stars of the HGTV series “Flip or Flop,” have separated after seven years of marriage on Dec. 12 and it seems like every day we learn more about how it unfolded.

In a statement, the couple cited an incident earlier this year, during which Tareq El Mossa reportedly ran from the family’s home in Orange County, California, with a firearm, prompting a police call of “a possible suicidal male with a gun,” as reported by TMZ.

According to the sheriff’s department, Christina El Moussa told deputies that a friend of hers called her and told the reality TV star that she was in Christina’s bedroom when she saw Tarek take a handgun from the gun safe, place it in his backpack and leave the room.
