“I can’t believe this journey started in May 2010 with a home video and a dream of flipping houses on tv… it’s crazy to think 12 years later it’s coming to an end. I’ve spent almost a third of my life committed to this show,” El Moussa began.
“A special thank you to @christinahaack for taking this journey with me. I think we did a pretty good job and I’m excited for what the future holds for both us and wish her nothing but the best!” he continued, before teasing his return to television. “I would say I’m going to miss you guys but..I’m not going anywhere😎. I can’t wait to show you what comes next!”
