Tarek El Moussa has revealed that he's already met Christina Haack's new boyfriend, Joshua Hall.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the kick-off event for the JBL True Summer Campaign Thursday, the 39-year-old "Flip or Flop" star was asked about Haack, who just introduced her new Austin-based realtor beau on social media.

"I think she's doing alright!" he told ET, adding that he's already met Hall.

In the same interview, the HGTV star's fiancée Heather Rae Young said they met Hall "a few times" and that he "seems like" a good guy.

"Don't really know him, but I sure hope so," El Moussa added.

El Moussa and Haack were married from 2009 to 2018 and share two children, Taylor, 10, and Brayden, 5. Following their divorce, she married Ant Anstead, and they welcomed a son, Hudson, 1. However, Haack and Anstead split in 2020 after less than two years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized last month.

El Moussa and Young were also asked about Haack and her boyfriend when they spoke to People Thursday. During the interview, he confirmed that he had just found out about Haack's new romance.

"We don't know their situation. We're kind of just finding out too and just learning," he told the outlet.

Young confirmed that she has a connection to Haack's new man. According to the "Selling Sunset" realtor, Hall is the brother of her friend, Jessica Hall.

"It is true. My girlfriend Jessica, we've been friends for like over 10 years and it's just a fluke," Young told People. "You know, it was nothing that was planned. It just happened."

Young also noted that after meeting Hall "a few times," it "seems like" Haack and her new beau are happy together.

Earlier this week, the "Christina on the Coast" star was photographed with her new lover walking hand-in-hand at Los Angeles International Airport for a birthday getaway. Haack turned 38 on Friday.

"They recently started dating each other and it was an immediate, real connection. They've enjoyed getting to know each other one-on-one without outside noise," an unnamed source told People about the pair.

Haack made her relationship with Hall Instagram official on the same day by sharing photos of them on vacation. In one post, she explained that they met when "I wasn’t in a state of fear or fight-or-flight" and that they have spent the past few months getting to know each other.

She admitted that she was scared when they were followed by cameras at the airport because she "didn’t ever want to see him stress over the media stalking him and his family." However, Haack said they "aren’t looking at all the nonsense online."

"So yes 'another relationship' and guess what. I’m 38 -I’ll do what I want," Haack concluded.
