Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae El Moussa aren't flipping out over costars Christina Hall and Josh Hall's divorce. 

The HGTV couple—who recently announced that they'll be facing off against Christina and Josh in their new The Flip Off competition show—confirmed that the series will go on despite their castmates' breakup.

However, as Heather noted in an exclusive E! News video, the show will now just be "us against her."

"But we support her," the Selling Sunset star shared of their off-camera dynamic, with her husband saying that he's confident Christina will "get through this" challenging chapter of personal life.

"Life's tough, s--t happens," Tarek—who was married to Christina from 2009 to 2018—continued. "We got one shot at life and we gotta do what's best for us, so whatever she needs, we're here to help."

Indeed, Tarek and Christina have developed a friendly relationship in recent years as they co-parent kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8. In fact, Heather will even side with Christina instead of Tarek on occasions.
