It was recently revealed that popular stars of the HGTV show Flip or Flop, Tarek, 35, and Christina El Moussa, 33, have split after an explosive fight and what sounds like an extremely scary incident. The seemingly happy couple split very quietly back in May and managed to keep it a secret up until a few days ago. Tarek and Christina have been married for seven years since 2009 and have starred on their own show together since 2013. Since news broke of their split, little details have trickled out informing fans what the future holds for their show and their family — check out our list of 9 shocking revelations about Tarek and Christina El Moussa’s split:

9. Incident in May

After news broke of their split, Tarek and Christina El Moussa released a statement to People that cited an “unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to [their] house in an abundance of caution.” They added that no charges were filed and there was no violence involved. According to officials, 11 police officers showed up in response to a possible “suicidal male with a gun.” Witnesses said they saw Christina run from the house “crying and shaking” and Tarek grab a handgun from the safe, put it in his back pocket and flee onto some trails behind their house. Christina was the one who placed the call to 911 and when officers learned Tarek was on public hiking trails with a gun, they called in for helicopter assistance. When he was located and brought back in, he said he was not suicidal and had no intent of hurting someone, but simply wanted to blow off some steam.

2. Widely Incompatible

According to a source close to the couple that spoke to People magazine, Christina and Tarek have always had some problems in their relationship because they are incompatible. “She has champagne tastes, and he’s a beer-from-a-can kind of guy. That was okay for a while when all they could afford was canned beer — they were on the same page, working together to make it and to do the best with what they had. But the stardom from the show, and the money from the show, meant that she started to feel like she could finally have some of the finer things in life,” said the source. Supposedly, he “couldn’t or didn’t want to keep up.”
