Following a highly publicized divorce, HGTV personality Tarek El Moussa is reveling in his “new beginnings” after buying his own house last summer. While El Moussa admits he “wasn’t expecting” to get a divorce from his now ex-wife and Flip or Flop co-star, Christina Anstead after seven years of marriage, the newly single dad is living life on his own terms in a comfortable bachelor pad while co-parenting their two kids together, Taylor and Brayden.
If that wasn’t good enough news, El Moussa has also landed a solo pilot for a potential TV series at his home-network, HGTV. According to the network, the new pilot will feature El Moussa teaming up with novice real estate investors to show them the ropes and impart his wisdom.

To mark the occasion, peek inside El Moussa’s impressive $2.28 million home in Costa Mesa.
Curb Appeal
El Moussa said he was not looking to move to a new house, but when he saw this house in Costa Mesa, California, he had to have it.
“I was randomly driving down a street and saw this place and I knew it was the one,” El Moussa wrote on Instagram. “Within hours I was writing an offer and negotiating the deal…the lesson…if you want something go get it, go after it and never quit! This relates to life in general..if there is something you want take action!!!”
Swimming Pool
Built in 2015, the home features a swimming pool, spa, deck, fire pit, steam shower and free-standing tub. Outside, the garage includes an electric car charging station and the home features state-of-the-art smart features.
