Tarek El Moussa has been pretty candid about his divorce from his wife Christina Hall, including how his health played a role. In February, the “Flip or Flop” star sat down for an interview with Fox News and explained how testicular and thyroid cancer, in addition to his back injury, took a toll on him. El Moussa revealed that he lost 60 pounds during his health woes because of all the opiates he was on. “This is what people don’t understand -– you know, from 2013 to 2016, it was hell. You know, I fought two cancers, I fought back surgery. I was dealing with all these hormone problems,” the reality star told the outlet. “And honestly, I lost my way. I lost who I was. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t know who I was anymore.”

El Moussa explained that once he hit “rock bottom” and Hall told him that she wanted to end things, he had to “dig deep” to get through such a difficult time in his life. “So, I did a lot of work on myself to get to where I am today,” he added. Of course, he is speaking of his relationship with Heather Rae Young, who stars in the Netflix hit “Selling Sunset.” That interview is not the first time that El Moussa spoke about how his health issues and how it affected his relationship with Hall and he’s been very candid about things in the past.
