And along with the cathartic bond between the two exes, Heather—with whom Tarek shares son Tristan, nearly 2—has been welcomed with open arms as part of the family.
“All three of us love these kids like more than anything,” Christina said, “so we’ve always made them a priority. And then through making them a priority, we were able to build our relationship back again.”
Beyond showing her adoration for the kids, Heather has also shown her support for the Christina on the Coast star throughout her ongoing divorce. In fact, it seems that all three had a similar take on how the energy shifted once Josh walked away from filming.
“The three of us are in this industry, and we’ve been filming TV shows a very long time,” Tarek said of the HGTV series. “We understand what we’re doing. We understand what it takes. And when you have someone that is not in the industry coming in to work with people like us, it can be very challenging.”
And the Selling Sunset alum was emphatic in her agreement.
“Honestly,” Heather added, “when he left that dynamic of us 3 came back together and we just had a lot of fun together.”
