Flip or Flop star Tarek El Moussa is apparently moving forward in the realty business without his longtime partner Christina El Moussa after filing for divorce.

Tarek, 35, has dropped Christina, 33, and launched his own upscale real estate brokerage affiliated with Sotheby's International Realty, the Daily Mail reported this past weekend, although the couple is still working together on their HGTV reality house-flipping series.
Tarek is featured on the company's website as well as flyers spotted in Orange County, CA, and online ads. The flyers reportedly advertise Tarek & Associates as affiliated with southern California's HÔM Sotheby's International Realty brokerage franchise and fail to mention Christina entirely.
A picture of Tarek is also shown on Sotheby's website with the following announcement: "HOM Sotheby's International Realty is pleased to announce the recent addition of Tarek El Moussa to our esteemed company of associates," along with a photo of one of Tarek's upscale properties.
Tarek just posted a happy image Friday on Instagram in which he was holding his two children with Christina -- six-year-old daughter Taylor and one-year-old son Brayden -- on the set of Flip or Flop. The kids and their dad were smiling ear to ear in the photo.

"On set today with my loves!!" Tarek captioned the cute picture. "I love creating memories on camera together.. many years from now, we will sit with our grandkids and binge watch Flip or Flop!! So lucky to do what we do. Just LOVE them."
Tarek and Christina continue to work on Flip or Flop together and present a united front in public despite rumors their dynamic is "nasty" behind the scenes and they don't get along anymore. Christina, for instance, posted a photo last week of the show's entire cast and crew, writing on Instagram that she loves each and every one of them for making filming such a "positive and fun" experience.
"Filming 7 seasons of #FlipOrFlop has been a breeze because of them," Christina wrote alongside the image before posting a selfie of herself with "happy" as the caption.
Tarek filed for divorce last month citing irreconcilable differences. Rumors of infidelity have circulated -- Christina with contractor Gary Anderson and Tarek with the family's former nanny, Alyssa Logan -- although the couple told In Touch Weekly in a January statement, "Neither of us was involved in a romantic relationship with any third party prior to our separation, or believes the other was."
The pair announced on December 12 they were splitting after seven years of marriage, but they had reportedly already been living apart since May of that year and dating other people.

Christina and Tarek tied the knot in May 2009 and revealed an "unfortunate misunderstanding" in May 2016 and "challenges" in their marriage were the reasons behind their breakup when they first announced their decision to part ways. The May incident involved an angry Tarek, guns and police, but the couple claimed there was no violence that day, nor were any charges filed.
