Christina Haack's boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, has opened up about the moment their relationship became public knowledge. The HGTV star, 41, and her new partner recalled the chaotic day during their March 27 appearance on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. The couple was at a dress shop in Los Angeles for an impromptu coffee reading when news of their romance surfaced in January.

Larocca revealed that the day was already overwhelming for him. "My head was on a swivel that day," he said, explaining that he had several things going on. Christina added, "We got outed that day." Larocca shared that he was bombarded with media attention.

"I had paparazzi calling me. I had reporters calling me. I had a lot of things going on that day and the last thing I wanted to do was a coffee reading in Beverly Hills at a dress shop," he recalled.

Christopher Larocca is the CEO and president of Network Connex, an Illinois-based communications infrastructure company. He has over 20 years of leadership experience, previously holding executive roles at Nortek Control, Luminance Brands, Dover Corporation, and EMCORE Corporation.

He earned a civil engineering degree from Clemson University in 1995 and an MBA from the University of Southern California in 2002. Larocca also has a 17-year-old daughter from his previous marriage. He and his ex-wife got divorced in 2015 after eight years of marriage.
