“It's been a long time since I've started falling in love,” Tarek continued. “I've been on my own for close to three and a half years now and to finally find someone again, it's a really big deal for me, because a few months ago if you would have asked me, I would say 'I'm gonna be on my own forever and I'm happy being alone,' and you know what, I realize what I was missing now.”
Tarek achieved stardom with the HGTV real-estate show, “Flip or Flop,” which he hosted alongside his ex-wife, Christina.
The couple, who are both real estate agents, split in 2016, after seven years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in January 2018. They share daughter Taylor Reese, 9, and son James, 4.
