Hall and Haack’s marriage ended during the filming of the show. She said that after their final fight, El Moussa went to HGTV so it could deal with Hall.   

“Tarek told our attorney and told the network for me that Josh would no longer be a part of the show,” she told People Magazine. “They said ‘No problem. That’s fine.’ They just said, ‘We need Christina to have a scene where she tells you, Tarek, that Josh is no longer going to be a part of the show.'”
