The husband-and-wife team behind HGTV’s “Flip or Flop” have announced their separation six months after police were called to their Orange County home over what the couple called an “unfortunate misunderstanding.”

Tarek and Christina El Moussa said in a statement Monday that police were called out of “an abundance of caution.” They said there was no violence and that no charges were filed.

The couple said the incident prompted them to seek counseling and that they’ve decided to separate while evaluating the future of their marriage. The statement said they plan to continue their professional life together.

HGTV said it will honor any decision that works best for the couple and their children and that the home-renovation series “will continue production as scheduled.”

TMZ first reported the couple’s separation Monday.
