But according to insiders, things have been less-than-friendly between the exes.

Though he did not get into details about the altercation, he did admit there were ‘choice words said on both sides.’ 

‘You know Christina and I, we worked together wow for over 10 years now and we’ve been working together as exes for five years now,’ Tarek began. ‘As you can imagine, it can be stressful working with an ex and we did have an incident where some choice words were said on both sides and I’m sure we both wish the whole thing never happened.

‘I mean, I certainly do, but I mean honestly since we got into that little disagreement a few months back, I’ve just decided that moving forward, never again. 

‘I never want to go through that ever again, I never want her to go through that again, and I know one day our kids are going to be older and I want them to know that we still care about each other and we still support each other, and it’s really important to me.’

‘The whole thing just sucked for everyone involved.’

On Monday, Haack subtly announced she was set to walk down the aisle for a third time, posting an Instagram with Hall.
