Did you know that Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa previously said they had no interest
in having children? Well, looks like the young couple's plans have been upended.
Keep watching to find out their exciting news.
For Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa, it was love at first sight. After meeting on Tarek's boat in
July 2019, the couple hit it off instantly and began dating. Just four days after that first
date, they moved in together. Many may think they were moving too fast, but one year later,
they made things official, getting engaged and jetting off to Cabo to celebrate.
In October 2021, the couple once again proved to the world that they were made for each other,
tying the knot in Montecito, California. Then, in December 2021, Heather revealed the pair would be
undergoing IVF treatments. Not long after she posted a Tiktok about her ultrasound to check
on her follicle numbers, the couple would be surprised with some pretty great news.
In July 2022, Tarek and Heather announced to People that they are expecting their first baby.
The pair was undergoing IVF treatments and planning to have an embryo implanted next fall
when the surprising news came. Heather told the publication that while this news was a huge shock,
they feel this is meant to be and are so excited.
"I just really feel like we've worked so hard and I feel like we truly deserve this."
Tarek already has two older children, Taylor and Brayden, with ex-wife Christina Hall.
The baby will be the first child for Heather. And while the couple is super excited to announce
their pregnancy, they weren't originally planning to have children together. According to People,
Heather was happy being a "bonus mom" to Taylor and Brayden, but as she got closer and closer with
Tarek, she felt a desire to have a child with him. Baby El Moussa is expected early 2023 and in the
meantime, the two real estate pros will spend their time searching for a kid-friendly home.
Tarek had something of a premonition the day he and Heather found out they were pregnant.
According to People, he had a busy day full of Zoom meetings when he had a sudden urge to tell
Heather to take a pregnancy test. She obliged, taking two tests that turned up inconclusive.
She took a third test, forgetting about it while she completed chores around the house,
only to return to it later and see those two pink lines.
After finding out, she resisted the urge to send an excited text to her husband and instead buried
the positive tests in a box filled with confetti and a onesie. He initially thought the tests were
for COVID, but the confusion turned to elation as he put the pieces together. Heather told People:
"I started tearing up because it was such a moment of excitement and relief.
He was so happy. We hugged and embraced each other and kissed."
"If she wants to have a kid, of course I would have loved to have a child with her."
Soon after the pair announced their baby news on Instagram,
famous friends began to express their joy for Tarek and Heather in the comments.
Her Selling Sunset co-stars did not hold back in expressing their happiness. Maya Vander commented:
"Yesssss!!!! Love you both and big congratulations!!!!"
Meanwhile, co-star Chrishell Stause commented:
"SO SO SO happy for youuuuu ... Lucky little one to have you."
But there was one comment that had some fans scratching their heads.
According to Page Six, Ant Anstead, who shares an ex-wife with Tarek, commented,
​​"Huge congratulations you two! Thrilled for you all!"
Anstead was married to Christina Hall for less than two years and together, they
share a 2-year-old son. Before marrying Anstead, Christina was married to Tarek for seven years,
sharing two children together. While this specific congratulations may seem strange,
the two ex-husbands are actually friends, according to Us Weekly,
and share a healthy relationship despite their murky past.
As for Heather, her first pregnancy has brought along some changes, including those to her body.
Her growing belly and clothes not fitting has been an adjustment, as she told People,
but Heather says that Tarek has helped her come to terms with it. Heather told the publication:
"[Tarek's] just been so positive and making me feel so beautiful and special."
