Flip Flop Nashville Cast
The much-loved HGTV series Flip or Flop is introducing a new iteration of the franchise set in Nashville, with two new hosts to take the audience through the renovation process. But before getting to meet the house flipping team during the show's Jan. 18 premiere, fans might be wondering: who are Page Turner and DeRon Jenkins on Flip or Flop Nashville? Their story is actually pretty interesting.
Page and DeRon are exes with a decade of partnership behind them, according to the HGTV site. They've flipped houses in Nashville and Atlanta, but real estate wasn't always where DeRon made his money. He used to be a professional football player, but renovation was one of his interests long before he decided to make a career out of it. At first, however, it was mostly about personal projects.
'I really had no idea what I was doing,' DeRon told HGTV. 'I just came up with some ideas of how to finish out the basement and add a bathroom, and I added a room for a pool table. Before I knew it, I renovated this home. And so that was always in my back pocket.'
DeRon retired in 2004 after seven years in the NFL, which was when he became a licensed renovator and started his own company. He decided to focus his efforts in Nashville, a city he loved. 'My mission ever since has been to transform this city one house at a time,' he said in the same HGTV interview.
Page is a realtor, the principal owner and broker of EGAP Real Estate Inc., according to website Stay on the Go. Considering their complimentary fields, it seems natural that Page and DeRon would end up working together. They met on the job, when Page was showing a client a house that DeRon happened to be working on. She became his real estate agent first, then his girlfriend. Page told News Channel 5 that they dated for around five years, but their working relationship outlasted their romantic one. 'We work well together now, we just didn't work well together in that aspect,' Page said in an appearance on Talk of the Town.
She first discovered the opportunity with HGTV when she received an email asking if she knew of any married couples in Nashville where one partner was a realtor and the other a contractor. Page couldn't think of anyone, but it later occurred to her that she and DeRon could be a good fit despite their breakup — and perhaps even because of it. Their story definitely makes them stand out, and HGTV must have agreed because they decided to move forward with the project.
Flip or Flop is a television series airing on HGTV, hosted by the formerly-married couple Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead. The program is the original show in the Flip or Flop franchise, debuting in 2013. The ninth season premiered on October 15, 2020. On November 5, 2020, the series was renewed for a tenth season which will premiere in 2021. How Page Turner & DeRon Jenkins 'flipped' their relationship to a business partnership. Subscribe to PeopleTV People NOW b. Now an ex-couple, DeRon and Page still work together, taking advantage of the city's booming housing market and older houses that need renovation. This entry in HGTV's 'Flip or Flop' franchise follows the business partners, who find depressed properties in Nashville and transform them into stylish and functional family homes.
The spinoff was previously called Joined at the Flip before being renamed Flip or Flop Nashville. And while Page and DeRon's past might cause them to 'butt heads' on occasion, DeRon promised Stay on the Go that there was no real drama. 'Yeah, you've got to have some entertainment in between, but the reality is the audience wants to see a good real estate agent find a property, a great contractor to complete the renovations, make it beautiful, make it special, and the house sells,' he said. 'That's the basis of the show. Everybody wants to see a good before, during, and after shot on the houses.'
The fact that Page and DeRon know each other so well (and already have plenty of experience working together) makes their Flip or Flop future seem promising. A little banter between friendly exes could add something extra to the proceedings, but at the end of the day DeRon was right: it's all about how those houses turn out. Fans can see for themselves when the show premieres.

2020-09-14Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead may no longer be husband and wife — they split in 2016 after seven years of marriage — but they’re still a TV-presenting force to be reckoned with. They’ll soon be seen on screen together in a new season of one of HGTV’s top-rated series, “Flip or Flop.”
The hit show returns with 15 new episodes, the first of which will air on October 15 at 9 p.m. ET, HGTV reports. Expect to see El Moussa and Anstead buying, rehabbing and selling southern California’s dilapidated properties.
Here’s the network’s Twitter announcement on the show’s ninth season return:

According to a press release from HGTV, the duo will “continue to navigate both the expected and surprising challenges of co-parenting their kids – Taylor, 9, and Brayden, 5 – while running a successful business.”
As it turns out, the children may be the bond that is keeping these two together for the hit show — along with their passion for their work, of course.
“Taylor and Brayden are the reason behind everything we do,” El Moussa said in the statement. “They are both happy and healthy and the flipping business is thriving.”
So is the TV show, apparently. It finished airing its eighth season in December 2019 and remains a popular show on HGTV, even gaining viewership following the divorce.
“Tarek and I have a common goal to create beautiful houses for families,” Anstead said. “We work hard but our priority is spending quality time with our wonderful kids and raising them to appreciate the love of family.”
Both hosts have moved on with other partners. Anstead married Ant Anstead, host of the car series “Wheeler Dealers,” in 2018, and they welcomed their “miracle baby” Hudson the following year. El Moussa announced his engagement to “Selling Sunset” cast member Heather Rae Young in July.
In 2018, El Moussa talked about working with her ex-husband after their divorce.

“This would be awkward for any exes,” she said in a statement. “Since we have to see each other every day, it’s beyond awkward. I’m planning on staying friendly and keeping things light.” Clearly, her strategy has worked.
“Flip or Flop” isn’t your only chance to see these celebrities on your television screen. On September 17, the first of four new episodes of El Moussa’s solo show “Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa” airs on HGTV at 9 pm. ET.
