During the event, Christina discussed her beginnings with the HGTV house-flipping show that she started with Tarek.

"We had no money," Christina said, according to E! News. "Tarek told me we were going to get a TV show ... He made me follow him around with a little video camera that we borrowed. And we did all the work ourselves."

Christina and Tarek announced their divorce in December, following a highly public incident last May. The two share a 6-year-old daughter, Taylor, a 1-year-old son, Brayden, and for now, are continuing on with their popular show.
