We finally know why Christina Anstead and Tarek El Moussa from HGTV's Flip or Flop got divorced, and it's a lot more complicated than you might have thought. Get comfy and we'll fill you in on the details.

Right when Christina Anstead and Tarek El Moussa were at the height of their HGTV fame in 2013, things took a turn for the worse. A viewer who was watching Flip or Flop happened to be a nurse and noticed a lump on El Moussa's throat.

Unfortunately, according to People, El Moussa was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2013. And while cancer is never easy for anyone, with how busy El Moussa and Anstead were with their show, it only put more stress on them as a couple.

While fans saw El Moussa's thyroid cancer struggle play out on Flip or Flop, they didn't see what he kept secret until 2017, when he revealed he'd been diagnosed with testicular cancer shortly thereafter. Obviously, this only made things more stressful for El Moussa and Anstead.

El Moussa told Country Living:

"I wasn't healthy for years."

Cancer didn't ruin their marriage, but it couldn't have been easy to deal with as a couple.
