Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa have welcomed their first child together! On Feb. 2, the “Flip or Flop” and “Selling Sunset” stars announced that Heather gave birth to a baby boy on Jan. 31. Alongside an Instagram photo of the new parents holding their son, the couple wrote, “Our baby boy is here 🤍 1.31.23 Mom and baby are happy, healthy, tired but doing well. Our hearts are so happy ❤️. “
The couple’s big news comes after People announced on July 13, 2022 that the two were pregnant. “It was a huge shock,” Heather previously told the outlet. “We just didn’t expect this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan. I think when you least expect it and there’s no of stress in your life, the world just brought us what it meant to be. I’m so excited that it turned out like this.
Heather and Tarek shared many updates about their son throughout the former’s pregnancy, including Instagram posts that shared their baby’s gender and a first glimpse of him in ultrasound photos. Heather also posted a number of snaps on Instagram showing off her baby bump.
Tarek and Heather first met in July 2019, and they got engaged after a year of dating. The couple tied the knot on Oct. 23, 2021, in an Old Hollywood-style ceremony in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by their closest friends — including Heather Chrishell Stause’s “Selling Sunset” co-stars Mary Fitzgerald , Davina Potratz, Emma Hernan, Romain Bonnet, Vanessa Villela and Jason and Brett Oppenheim – and their family.
Prior to their relationship, Tarek was married to his “Flip or Flop” co-star Christina Anstead for seven years. The reality star filed for divorce in January 2017. He and Anstead share two children together, Taylor and Brayden El Moussa, who now join Tarek and Heather’s growing family together.
