As the now-38-year-old star of Christina on the Coast told UsWeekly in April 2020, she and the Selling Sunset star are “super healthy” eaters. They bonded over the topic, even texting each other recipes. 

“We’ll, like, text each other random recipes right now during isolation,” Haack said at the time. “She’ll, like, send me whatever her, like, favorite go-to granola bar is, and I’ll text her back, like, whatever mine is.”

Haack, who shared her “fav” antioxidant smoothie recipe on Instagram in May 2022, continued, saying granola bars and “random recipes” aren’t the only food-related things they’ve discussed. “We’ll share, like, margarita recipes with each other like a skinny watermelon,” she said

“So yeah, it’s nice,” she continued before adding, “We all get along.”
