“When he and Christina were on the rocks, he confessed to the production crew that he suspected she was dating some­one, so he hired a private investiga­tor to follow her. He wanted to know where she was going and what she was doing,” the insider explains.

The insider adds that Tarek suspected it was Gary Anderson, a contractor who used to be his friend and even redid the couple’s pool last year be­fore their breakup.

“It’s hard for Tarek to see Christina dating, but it’s even worse that Gary is the guy she’s with.”

In Touch recently revealed the first photos of Christina flaunting her hot new romance with Gary.

Christina hasn’t publicly denied that Tarek treated her like garbage. She told In Touch through her rep that she would “not be providing any comments” about Tarek’s behavior.
