Doug Spedding is a retired businessman and former auto dealer based in Orange County, California. Although limited information is available about his early life and professional background, he was known locally for his success in the automotive sales industry before retiring.
Spedding gained public attention in 2017 due to his brief romantic involvement with Christina El Moussa, a real estate investor and television personality best known for co-hosting the HGTV series Flip or Flop. The couple reconnected in June 2017 after having first met over a decade earlier at a hockey game. At the time of their initial meeting, they briefly dated before El Moussa married Tarek El Moussa. Following her separation from Tarek in 2016, Spedding and El Moussa rekindled their relationship.
The relationship attracted media interest and appeared promising at first. The two were seen publicly on several occasions, including spending El Moussa’s birthday together in July 2017 at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. Friends of El Moussa reportedly approved of the relationship early on.
Despite initial optimism, Spedding and El Moussa's relationship was short-lived. By October 2017, the couple had ended their relationship. According to multiple reports, contributing factors included Spedding’s struggles with substance abuse. Additionally, El Moussa discovered that Spedding had been in contact with one of his ex-girlfriends during their time together.
Shortly after their separation, Spedding faced legal trouble when he was arrested on charges related to felony drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. However, the charges were later dropped, and Spedding entered an inpatient rehabilitation program as part of his recovery process.
