Christina Haack Finally Reveals When She Actually Started Dating Christopher Larocca — and It’s Earlier Than Fans Thought
After months of speculation, HGTV star Christina Haack sets the record straight about the real timeline of her romance with businessman Christopher Larocca — and fans are shocked by the overlap.
Christina Haack is finally setting the record straight about her love life. After weeks of fan theories and social media whispers, the Christina on the Coast star has revealed when she actually started dating her new boyfriend, Christopher Larocca — and the truth has taken many by surprise.
In a candid update shared with fans this week, the 41-year-old HGTV personality addressed mounting speculation surrounding the early days of her romance with Larocca, a successful Orange County-based businessman.
“People love to assume timelines,” Haack said with a laugh during a Q&A segment posted to Instagram Stories. “But the truth is, Christopher and I started dating last year — long before anyone knew.”
That revelation places the start of their relationship months earlier than most fans believed, as the pair only went public earlier this year after being spotted hand-in-hand during a cozy getaway in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Haack’s honesty comes after online chatter suggested the romance may have overlapped with her previous relationship. But the Flip or Flop alum was quick to shut down the rumors. “There was no overlap. I’ve always been upfront and respectful in my relationships,” she clarified. “Christopher and I just wanted to keep things private until we were sure it was real.”
Fans flooded the comments with supportive messages, praising her for her transparency and protecting her peace after years in the spotlight. “You deserve to be happy, Christina,” one follower wrote. “Ignore the haters — you’ve earned your fairytale.”
Larocca, who runs a luxury design and construction firm in Southern California, has reportedly been a grounding presence in Haack’s life. Friends say he’s “low-key, mature, and business-minded” — a good match for the star, who’s been balancing her busy filming schedule with raising her three children from previous relationships.
“Christopher understands her world but doesn’t chase the fame,” an insider told People. “He’s calm, confident, and treats her like gold. It’s the most at-ease Christina’s been in a long time.”
Haack’s romantic history has long fascinated fans — from her high-profile marriage to Flip or Flop co-star Tarek El Moussa, with whom she shares two kids, to her whirlwind union with British TV host Ant Anstead.
Now, with Larocca, Haack says she feels “peaceful and balanced” for the first time in years. “When you’ve been through enough chaos, peace becomes your type,” she wrote cryptically in a recent Instagram caption — a post many fans now believe was a quiet nod to her new love.
Whether this marks a fresh start or just another chapter in Haack’s headline-making love story, one thing’s clear: the HGTV queen has finally found her rhythm — and this time, she’s calling the shots on when to share it.
