Haack had been spotted with a ring on her ring finger on her left hand, the one that usually indicates engagement or marriage, but she quickly shot down any speculation.
“Bad reporting,” Haack wrote on her now expired Instagram story. “That ring (that I’ve worn for almost 10 years) is a Cartier love ring (a gift to myself) with my kids initials.”
Haack is happily dating Larocca at the moment and would like to get married again, but it sounds like it will be a while before she walks down the aisle again.
“We’re not in any rush, and it’s a one day at a time thing, which is nice,” she told E! News recently.

“It’s just about easy right now,” Haack continued. “He has a career, and he works a lot, and he has to travel a lot for work, and so it’s just nice being with someone that gets the dynamic of hard work and motivation.”
The 42-year-old has been married three times: first to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2016, then Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021, and finally Joshua Hall from 2021 to 2025. She shares two children with El Moussa and one with Anstead.
Haack also told E! News that Larocca understands the dynamics of blended families since he also shares a daughter with his ex-wife.
“It’s just always making sure to put the kids first,” she shared. “They’re the most important. And the rest is really second to the importance of the kids being happy and content and seeing by example the way that we lead and the way that we care about each other.”

She added that the businessman, who she’s been dating since 2024, is “very easy to be around.”
“It’s security and kindness that just makes him a great partner, and he gets along very well with everybody in the blended family,” Haack said.
