Tarek reveals the difference between The Flipping El Moussas and his past shows

The major difference between The Flipping El Moussas and his past shows, especially with Christina’s Flip or Flop, is Heather Rae El Moussa.

The new HGTV show is Tarek and Heather’s first solo together. The couple had earlier appeared on Netflix’s Selling Sunset, where Tarek made several cameo appearances.

Speaking about the difference between his shows in an interview with E! News, Tarek said:

“One of the things that really makes our show different from past shows is the level of homes that we're doing. The homes are higher caliber, more high-end.”

He added:

“The Flipping El Moussas, yes, it's about the house itself. But outside of that, it shows people what it's like to run a house flipping operation. It shows you behind the scenes of what it looks like to run an actual business that's out there flipping houses.”

Heather further confirmed that the latest HGTV series will feature her pregnancy and her bond with Tarek and Christina’s children, Taylor and Brayden.

In the interview, Heather said:

“We've had a lot of fun doing this. We flipped 10 homes together. You see the love of our relationship shine through. You see us with the kids, you see the pregnancy, our families and us working together, which is really fun.”

The couple recently became parents to a baby boy named Tristian.

Meanwhile, viewers can tune in to HGTV every Thursday to watch a new episode of The Flipping El Moussas Season 1 at 8:00 pm ET.
