Why did Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack break up?

"Like any couple, we had our share of issues," Christina told People in 2017, following news of their split. "But we went through a lot in a short amount of time," she said. During their marriage, Tarek had become very sick. Besides dealing with a back injury, he was also battling two types of cancers — thyroid cancer and testicular cancer.

As he underwent radiation treatment, the couple struggled to get pregnant with their second child. One miscarriage and a failed IVF attempt later, they succeeded. But by this point, they were already at odds with one another, and the mounting pressures of running their business piled up.

Four weeks after giving birth to their second child, Christina went back to work. "It was too soon for me,” she told People, adding, “I was overwhelmed." Not to mention, tension was only escalating between her and Tarek. "We weren’t able to properly communicate anymore," she explained. “It got to the point where we weren’t even driving to set together."
