Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa are expanding their family! The HGTV stars are expecting their first child together, they revealed in matching Instagram posts on July 13, 2022.
The stars of “The Flipping El Moussas” have been open about their family planning, sharing their journey with in vitro fertilization on social media. Still, this pregnancy was a surprise, People reported.
“It was a big shock,” the 34-year-old explained to the publication. “We just didn’t expect this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan. According to People, they were already scheduled to transfer an embryo next fall.
Heather got tested after Tarek had a “weird feeling”. She tested positive while he was at work and told People that she hid “the tests in a gift box with confetti and a baby onesie.”
The couple, who married in October 2021, are expecting baby El Moussa in January 2023. The “Flip or Flop” alum shares daughter Taylor, 11, and son Brayden, 6, with his ex wife, Christina Hall.
Heather was originally happy to be an ‘extra mom’
While Heather originally said she was content being an “extra mom,” her love for Tarek’s children made her want to welcome one of her own.
“When we started dating three years ago, we started our relationship without planning to have children together. I really love being an additional mom to Taylor and Brayden. They are such amazing kids and I love them so much,” Heather told People. “But as your love grows more and more and you fall more in love with someone and build this life together, I began to imagine having a child with Tarek. I started to think that I just wanted to create something with the man I’m in love with.”
“I am obsessed with my children. They are my everything, so having another one is just icing on the cake. I am so excited, ”explained her husband of 40 years to the medium. Her children participated in the ad, wearing “Big Sister” and “Big Brother” t-shirts.
“He’s a good father,” added Heather. “That was another reason why I wanted to create something with him. Seeing him with Taylor and Braden, he’s so obsessed with them. And he is a loving and amazing father. I can’t wait to see him with our baby.”
The couple will find out the gender of the baby at a reveal party in the coming weeks. “Tarek thinks she is a girl. I don’t know yet. I just want a happy, healthy baby,” the mom-to-be told People. “We already have Tay and Bray, so I’d be happy with either. But I secretly want a little mini Heather.”
Tarek and Heather look for a house
With a growing family, the family is looking for a new home.
“We are looking for a new house and if we don’t find that house when the baby is born, we have room for the baby in our current house,” Tarek told the publication. “But we definitely need to find a bigger house with a yard and some more space.”
