For Selling Sunset fans out there, we all know how hard Heather Rae El Moussa has looked for love.
And after seasons of relationships, she found the love of her life in Tarek El Moussa. After a whirlwind dating period, season five of the Netflix’s reality real estate show saw her finally walked down the aisle.
Now, Heather’s dream of having a baby of her own is finally happening, after announcing that she is pregnant with her first child.
Making the announcement to People magazine, she revealed that she and now-husband Tarek were in the process of IVF when they were able to fall pregnant on their own.
“It was a huge shock… I think when you least expect it and there’s no stress in your life, the world just brought us what was meant to be. I’m so excited that it happened like this,” Heather told the outlet.
“When we first started dating three years ago, we went into our relationship not planning on having children together. I really love being a bonus mum to Taylor and Brayden [Tarek’s kids with ex Christina Hall]. They’re such incredible kids and I love them so much,” she continued.
“But as your love grows more and more and you fall deeper in love with someone and you build this life together, I started picturing myself having a child with Tarek. I started thinking I just wanted to create something with the man that I’m in love with.”
Tarek agreed, going on to explain how much he loves his children and how they are his “everything”.
“I’m just obsessed with my kids,” he shared, adding, “They’re my everything, so having another one is just icing on the cake. I’m so excited”.
Heather and Tarek will be expecting their bundle of joy early 2023. In fact, Heather discovered that she was pregnant with an at-home pregnancy test while Tarek wasn’t home, deciding to surprise him upon his return.
Putting the tests in the box, she handed them to her husband but he wasn’t immediately able to figure out what she was trying to tell him.
“I’m opening up this box and there are these sticks. I’m staring at them and thinking, Are these COVID tests? And then I said, ‘Oh, s—! Are you pregnant?’ She said yes, and that’s how we found out,” he said, laughing.
Given Heather’s background in luxury real estate and Tarek’s career in flipping houses, there’s no doubt that this baby—and Tarek’s two children—are going to grow up in the coolest house in Hollywood.
