Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack today announced the cancelation in separate Instagram posts, saying their hit home renovation show will end with next Thursday's Season 10 finale. Haack and El Moussa and Haack were married real estate agents in Orange County, California who began flipping homes after the 2008 real estate crash when HGTV hired them in 2012 to host their own reality show. Flip or Flop premiered in April 2013, spawning several spinoffs. Shortly after the birth of their son, the couple separated in 2016 and divorced in 2017 while continuing to co-star in Flip or Flop. “I’m filled with gratitude to have done 10 seasons of a hit show. I remember filming the pilot and thinking, ‘wouldn’t this be crazy if is this (sic) actually made it to network tv?’ And here we are, a decade later,” Haack wrote in her Instagram post. “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you who have watched the show throughout the years. I am beyond grateful for the support. In his post, El Moussa wrote: "You guys have been with us through it all—you watched me beat cancer, you’ve watched the babies grow up into the most amazing little humans, and everything in between ...but I’m not going anywhere and I can promise that you are going to love what comes next!"

If it had ended right when their allegedly lovey-dovey union hit the skids, that would have been a shock.

Now, with both of having remarried with her splitting from #2 (after bearing her 3rd child) and her ready to marry #3. ..it's more of a . ..

So? What took them so long? They weren't the Sonny &Cher of the reno world!

It's fitting Flip or Flop went out with a whimper after the "parasitic nature" of Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack's success

Flip or Flop, which ended this week after nine years and 10 seasons, premiered a month before HGTV's Fixer Upper. But El Moussa and Haack never achieved the kind of fame and success as Chip and Joanna Gaines. "Flip or Flop debuted on HGTV in 2013 as millions of low- and middle-income families were still riding out the aftershocks of the Great Recession," says Katie McDonough. "El Moussa and Haack are flippers in Southern California who are alternately presented as hapless and cunning in their efforts to turn a quick profit while navigating the same landscape of immiseration. In recent years, as HGTV has leaned harder into 'God and country' nostalgia in its real-estate programming, Flip or Flop stood out for its unintentional candor about housing as a commodity. There were no sweet young couples looking for forever homes, no downtowns to be 'revitalized' — just ambient scumminess as El Moussa and Haack perform back-of-the-envelope cost projections and conclude with a big reveal of total profits. Airing its last episode this week after ten seasons, Flip or Flop asked a simple question: What if the foreclosure crisis actually rocked?" McDonough notes that "the fact of their emptiness and potential for resale is the point, even in the episode descriptions." In later seasons, the show "would move away from this explicit kind of ghoulishness, swapping out foreclosure auctions for more subdued language around the couple having a 'lead' on a great deal," she says. "But the beating heart of the show never changed all that much."
