A source revealed to DailyMail.com that she has been dating a man named Christopher Larocca for quite some time now.
‘Christina has been dating Chris Larocca for a few months now. They are always out and about together in Newport,” a source said.

Although the timeline of when they actually started dating or details of how they met are unknown at this time, Christina and Chris, a 52-year-old CEO from Newport Coast, California, have been attending events together for the past three months.
In October, the HGTV star posted about having the “most incredible week traveling around Europe.” In one photo she posted in the photo series, she shared a photo of herself in a Ferrari, tagged Ferrari of Newport Beach.
According to the luxury sports car brand, they organized an immersive Italian Ferrari experience trip. The experience began in the heart of Bologna, Italy, with dinner at Circolo della Caccia, a historic private yacht club.
In photos posted by Ferrari of Newport Beach via Instagram, Christina is said to be seen holding hands with her new boyfriend after dinner.
Although the photo is of the couple’s backside, one source claimed it was “definitely her,” and another source claimed it was “definitely him” in the photo and suggested he was the one who invited her as a guest to the extravagant trip.
Following this, Christina – who follows her new boyfriend on Instagram – and Chris attended a Christmas party together in Laguna Beach on December 14, hosted by fashion and lifestyle influencer Amy Sexton.
The festive celebration was also attended by Real Housewives of Orange County alum Kelly Dodd and podcaster Heather McDonald.
In a series of photos posted by Amy, under the name Amy Plus Joe, Christina and Chris are seen separately in group photos.

Regardless of what was posted on social media, DailyMail.com has obtained exclusive photos from the Christmas party showing Christina with her arms around Chris, and another photo of them posing together.

He divorced his ex-wife, to whom he was married for eight years before their split, in January 2015.
They continue to share joint custody of their child, as detailed in divorce documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Christina Haack and Chris Larocca for comment.
Chris and Christina were pictured holding hands in Italy in October while attending a special dinner hosted by Newport Beach-based Ferrari, which a source claimed he invited her to.

Christina shares her five-year-old son Hudson with her second husband Ant Anstead — with whom she is now “back on track” — and her other two children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, with her first husband Tarek El Moussa .
She is in the middle of her third divorce and has since adopted Kim Kardashian‘s divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, in the nasty battle.
The real estate investor’s marital problems with Josh will become apparent when her new show with Tarek and his wife Heather El Moussa premieres on HGTV on January 29.
A preview of the new show showed a tense moment between Christina – whose maiden name is Haack – and Josh, in which the real estate agent breaks down in tears over the way her then-husband treated her as he called her “rude” and said she “took me to it was pissing’. already gone.’
The mother of three took to Instagram a few days later to show off a disturbing crying selfie on the day they filmed the shocking scene.

In the car selfie, just days before they filed for divorce in early July, Christina is seen crying with tears in her eyes with the caption: ‘This was taken on June 21, 2024. After one of my shoots with Josh. This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”
In a recent Instagram post, she revealed that she is “working with a karma recovery life coach” in the new year to correct her “past patterns” and “break the cycle.”
She wrote, “Karma recovery 2025…. Some things I have learned (and yes, I am still a work in progress…healing is not linear)…awareness of past patterns, without ignoring my intuition and gut feelings,” she wrote in the caption.
“Slowing down the pace, talking to my friends versus being embarrassed and not talking to anyone, and not being afraid to have difficult conversations.
‘This year I’m going to work with my life coach to break the cycle, take the kids and myself on great adventures and focus on a few new projects, while making sure they’re all done with passion. ‘
