Christina Haack hugs new beau Christopher as she raves about 'best spring break' with her EX Tarek
On Monday the 41-year-old home improvement specialist shared a new Instagram post that featured the 52-year-old silver fox, who is the CEO of telecoms company Network Connex.
Christina wore a hot pink bikini top and cream-colored crocheted micro-mini skirt that flaunted her assets as she cozied up to the businessman.
They were at a mansion with a swimming pool near a lawn that had a lake.
And they were not alone: with them was Christina's ex-husband Tarek El Moussa as well as his wife Heather Rae El Moussa. There was also a snapshot of the kids having fun indoors.
In her caption she shared her state of mind which seemed to be pure joy: 'Best spring break I could ever ask for Happy Easter.'
Heather then commented: 'The best weekend ❤️.'
This comes after Christopher was seen grabbing Christina's breasts while in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
DailyMail.com had the exclusive photos of the duo getting handsy at a hotel bar in Mexico.
They kissed and cuddled.
In the raunchy photos, which can be seen in full here, Haack could be seen draped over her new lover.
He was on a barstool behind her and fondled her breasts.
As they got flirty, the Flip or Flop alum could be seen embracing him and placing her hands on his belly and in his lap while sporting a tiny blue Louis Vuitton bikini.
Haack and Larocca have been dating for several months since her split from her third husband, Josh Hall, last summer.
She has also called him a good man.
'Meeting an unexpected good man who has his own amazing career, life & hobbies (who also happens to have zero jealousy) can at times feel strange for someone who has had the opposite,' she said, referring to Larocca.

She continued: 'At 41 I'm finally learning about safe communication, independence during commitment and a relationship that is NOT 0-100.'
'I am for sure guilty of putting pressure on others. Facing my own insecurities has forced me into doing the shadow work I've been avoiding.. it's time to break the cycle,' she declared.
Haack rose to fame in the 2010s when she starred in her first TV program, Flip or Flop, opposite her first husband Tarek El Moussa.
That show ran for ten series, and Haack and El Moussa had two children together, Taylor Reese, 12, and Brayden James, nine.
In May 2016, however, the married couple got into an explosive fight, and police were even called to their home in response to a 'possibly suicidal male with a gun', according to Us Weekly reports.
The couple addressed the fight at the time, dismissing it as an 'unfortunate misunderstanding' and added 'the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution. There was no violence and no charges were filed.'
They divorced in 2018, but managed to keep working together on their show. (El Moussa is now married to Selling Sunset star Heather Rae Young.)
Just before Haack and El Moussa's divorce was finalized in 2018, Haack started dating another real estate reality TV star, Ant Anstead.
They met through a mutual friend and got married less than a year later, in December 2018.
They welcomed a son, Hudson London, in 2019, but then split a year later.
On Instagram, Anstead claimed the split wasn't his decision, writing: 'I have remained silent while holding on to hope. I never gave up on us. I pray Christina's decision brings her happiness.'
Anstead has since moved on with Bridget Jones star, Renée Zellweger.
In somewhat of a familiar pattern, just before Haack's divorce from Anstead was finalized, Haack started dating a new man, another real estate agent, Josh Hall.
Haack then married Hall in April 2022 and shared photos of the wedding to her social media accounts, writing: 'Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be.'
But sadly their wedded bliss didn't last long and, just over two years later, in July 2024, Hall filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.
Since beginning her romance with Larocca, the CEO of telecoms company Network Connex, the pair have made memories across the globe together.
This includes drinking champagne on a private jet and sharing a kiss in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Despite initially expressing hesitancy over the idea of ever walking down the aisle again, she confessed she has already thought about tying the knot with Larocca.
While appearing on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Haack joked she liked how often she has changed her last name given her three marriages.
'I kind of like it — I'm going to change it again,' she said.

Was so amazing!" Hr upload came just days after she stripped to similar leopard-print underwear to showcase her "strong and healthy" body. AWAY FROM THE CAMERA Yet away from her Instagram grid, The Sun exclusively told how the women's health advocate has been struck down by a trapped nerve in Iceland. It comes ahead of her Strictly Come Dancing stint. I'm A Celeb winner set to join Strictly after wowing bosses while supporting pal in audience last year Vicky — crowned Queen of the Jungle on ITV's I'm A Celeb in 2015 — is resting and trying to ensure she is fit enough for costume fitting and early filming this month. A pal revealed: 'Vicky wants to give Strictly her best shot and is taking it easy for the next few weeks so her trapped nerve doesn't rear its head when she is in the training room. 'She's really fit and healthy but she doesn't want a pre-existing injury to give her a handicap. 'It's her lifelong dream to be taking part — and she wants to make the most of it.' Vicky Pattison's Career History Geordie Shore (2011-2014): Vicky Pattison first gained public attention as a cast member of the MTV reality series. The show, which premiered in 2011, chronicles the lives of a group of young adults living together in Newcastle upon Tyne. Vicky quickly became one of the standout personalities on the show due to her outspoken nature. She remained a key cast member until her departure in 2014. Ex on the Beach (2014): In 2014, Vicky Pattison joined the first ever season of Ex on the Beach, an MTV reality series that brings together singles and their ex-partners for a dramatic beachside experience. She navigated complicated relationships and explosive confrontations, particularly with her ex-boyfriend, Ricci Guarnaccio, who also appeared on the series. Vicky's time on the show was marked by her outspoken nature and candid approach to resolving past romantic issues. I'm a Me Out of Here! (2015): In 2015, Vicky participated in the fifteenth series of I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, where she emerged as the winner.

Praising CoppaFeel, which raises awareness and money for breast cancer charities, she wrote: "I am proud of my little body and what it got me through last week… and I am even prouder of the women I trekked with that have survived breast cancer or are living with this awful disease. "THEIR bodies, achieved incredible things last week.. and they deserve to be celebrated. "It's time we shifted our perspective and focused on health, happiness AND feeling good.. rather than some unobtainable and toxic aesthetic," she noted. "Every lump, bump, scar, stretch mark and tiger stripe on our body tells a story.. whether that be of strength, resilience, experience or pure joy... "These things make us who we are and we shouldn't hide them away.. we should celebrate them." VICKY'S DISCOVERY Vicky's journey with her body comes after she revealed she had been diagnosed with PMDD after being "gaslit" for years by medical professionals into believing nothing was wrong with her. PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) left Vicky suffering from anxiety, depressive moods, rage, crippling cramps, and a feeling of hopelessness that, at points, left her with suicidal ideation. "I was told everything from, 'This is just PMS, everyone experiences it, other women can just handle it better' to, 'This is psychological — you need antidepressants.' 'I was told by one doctor, 'Maybe it'll be better if you lose weight.'' Her voice breaks when she reflects on the battle she still faces. Vicky says: 'Every month, you lose yourself — and as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse. "It used to last a few days, but now it's seven to ten days before my period. 'I'm anxious, I'm emotional, I'm exhausted, and I'm completely unrecognisable from the woman I am the rest of the time. 'The things that bring me joy don't bring me joy.' 'I broke down when she said I had PMDD,' Vicky said of her diagnosis after turning to private medical care three years ago. 'I'd had five years of being gaslit.' 7 Away from the camera, The Sun reported how Vicky was suffering from a trapped nerve Credit: Instagram 7 They pulled out all the stops for their plush stay Credit:

Brand radar: esmé studios and sustainable simplicity
esmé studios is a Danish womenswear brand defined by its clean, minimalist aesthetic and commitment to sustainability. Founded in 2018 in Denmark, the label blends effortless Scandinavian style with mindful design. Each piece is crafted from certified organic or recycled materials and designed to be worn on repeat, emphasizing neutral tones and timeless, everyday appeal. Known for its 'buy less, buy better' ethos, esmé studios has gained a loyal following of eco-conscious, style-savvy consumers drawn to its comfortable yet sophisticated basics. The brand's Instagram feed showcases calm, pared-back outfits and behind-the-scenes content, helping it cultivate a slow-living social media community. Brand history and evolution Established amid a push for more responsible fashion, esmé studios set out from inception to offer an alternative to fast fashion. Its parent company, Oriental Group, imbued the brand with a mission of transparency and fair production. Early on, esmé studios produced four seasonal collections per year, but in 2023 it embraced a slower approach, now releasing only two main collections annually to curb overproduction. These are supplemented by a couple of small in-season drops to keep assortments fresh. The designs have always been minimalistic and timeless, intended for 'everyone in everyday life'—whether at home or the office—with a focus on soft, comfortable materials. In 2022, the label launched a pre-owned program on its webshop, encouraging customers to trade in and shop second-hand esmé studios pieces as part of its circular fashion efforts, still an active part of the brand today. Social media and key success factors A core strength of esmé studios lies in its ability to communicate its values clearly and consistently, particularly through Instagram. Rather than chasing trends or viral moments, the brand uses its social media presence to build trust and foster transparency. Its Instagram feed reflects the brand's calm, minimalist aesthetic, with earthy tones, soft silhouettes, and clean styling. One of the standout features is the recurring segment titled 'Did you know', where esmé studios shares detailed explanations about its materials, certifications, and production processes. These posts offer followers insight into topics such as the benefits of GOTS-certified organic cotton, water-saving production methods, or the traceability of their supply chain. Credits: esmé studios Price range and latest collection esmé studios offers an accessible price range for its core collection, positioning itself as 'accessible luxury' in sustainable fashion. Prices for its latest summer 2025 collection pieces span from around 40 euros up to about 130 euros. For instance, a GOTS-certified 'Blossom' organic cotton tank top is listed at 40 euros on the brand's webshop. At the higher end, a feminine 'ESStar' smocked midi dress in organic cotton is priced at 120 euros. In between, staples like relaxed tops and blouses retail for about 50 euros to 80 euros, and knit sweaters or skirts range around 100 euros. Even outerwear pieces, such as short jackets, typically fall near 180 euros original price. This moderate pricing reflects esmé studios' goal to provide high-quality, sustainable garments at attainable prices. Shoppers can find everyday essentials, from soft T-shirts and trousers to cozy knitwear and dresses, without a prohibitive cost barrier. Credits: esmé studios Global reach and presence Though rooted in Denmark, esmé studios has rapidly expanded its international presence. The brand's collections are currently available in over thirty countries, largely across Europe and beyond. Its official online store ships to thirty-two countries, including most EU nations, from Germany, France, and the Netherlands to Slovakia and Malta, as well as farther-flung markets like Australia, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland. In addition to its direct e-commerce, esmé studios is stocked by various international retailers and online platforms. Notably, the label is featured on major fashion sites such as Zalando and Boozt, and carried by select boutiques from London to Helsinki. This omnichannel approach has helped esmé studios reach a broad audience despite its relatively recent founding. Credits: esmé studios Future outlook Looking ahead, esmé studios appears well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory while staying true to its values. The company plans to deepen its sustainability initiatives and transparency efforts, aiming to map its entire supply chain down to raw material processing by 2025. Design-wise, it will likely maintain its streamlined two-collection calendar, focusing on seasonless pieces that remain relevant year-round. The success of its pre-owned clothing program has encouraged esmé studios to invest further in circular fashion, engaging customers in recycling and resale to extend each garment's life. The coming years should see this Copenhagen-born label continue to "hold itself in high esteem", true to the French meaning of its name, by championing conscious consumption and timeless design in the global market.

Rylan Clark brands mum a ‘walking disaster' as she suffers injury after hospital dash
Rylan Clark's Celebrity Gogglebox star mum Linda has admitted she's been suffering from a fresh injury, just weeks after being rushed to hospital with her son missing his BBC Radio 2 show to look after her Former X Factor star Rylan Clark has branded his mother Linda a "walking disaster" live on the radio, after she opened up about struggling with another health issue. Rylan, 36, was presenting his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday when he started talking with his mum on the phone, who informed him that she had sustained an injury to her arms at home. She said: 'I hurt my arms, didn't I?" To which Rylan replied: "Yeah, I know you hurt your arm and it wound me up! Tell everyone how you hurt your arm." Linda explained: "Well, I was looking in the ottoman, and it's quite heavy, and the lid came down." Rylan added: "And you've cut all your arm." "Oh it did hurt", Linda replied, before admitting: "If it ain't one thing it's another, isn't it?'. In response, Rylan quipped: 'That's why you're like a walking disaster at the moment," to which his mum candidly agreed. This isn't the first time Rylan has provided fans with an update about his mum's health, after the duo became beloved by fans on Celebrity Gogglebox. Just weeks ago, Rylan announced that he would be absent from his BBC Radio 2 show because Linda had been rushed to hospital. At the time of the incident, Rylan told fans on Instagram: 'Mummy Linda isn't well sadly so I won't be hosting the show tomorrow. 'Thank you to the emergency team at Princess Alexandra Hospital. Will keep you updated as she's on the mend. She's a trooper.' Rylan was later able to confirm that Linda, 73, who suffers from Crohn's disease, was permitted to return home in time for her birthday on July 20. However, it isn't just his mother's health that Rylan has been open about in recent months, as he has also talked a little more about his own wellbeing. Speaking to The Times earlier this year, he discussed the health implications of his divorce from ex-husband Dan Neal in 2021. The Doctor Who actor told the publication during a conversation about his morning routine: 'The first thing I do is have a coffee, which has to be decaf after my heart failure four years ago. When I was getting divorced, I ended up in an ambulance twice "I have three or four cups to make myself function, and the only breakfast I have is a sachet of collagen mixed into a shake. Believe it or not, I'm very picky about what I put in my mouth; I like a tropical one." Rylan previously spoke about his struggles back in 2022, soon after his divorce from Dan. He told an audience at the Royal Festival Hall: "There were weeks that I couldn't speak. That sounds ridiculous because I can talk for England. 'My mum was genuinely concerned at one point that I'd had a stroke. It was like my body had shut down. 'Twice last year I ended up back in an ambulance because my heart had failed, and it was really strange because I just remember for a couple of weeks going, 'My heart hurts.'"
