WhenTarek El Moussa and Christina Haack separatedin 2016, it wasn’t just devastating for their fans.
However, when he laid eyes on realtor Heather Rae Young in 2019, everything changed.
And fans have been obsessed with the two of them together ever since.
In reality, these two stars should probably have never even met on that fateful day in Newport Beach.
“It was very, very rare that I came down that day.”
This is the truth about Heather Rae Young’s relationship with Tarek El Moussa.
Funny enough, she even recognized him right away.
Yet, when he asked her out on a date over a DM, she quickly declined.
It was the Fourth of July weekend in 2019 when it all happened.
While she was out enjoying the Pacific, she spotted some of her friends on a boat parked nearby.
That’s when she was approached by the owner of that boat.
He honked the horn on his boat for as long as he could as a distraction.
That small gesture ended up being something special.
Ever since that day, they can only “sea” themselves with each other.
Do I want to go to Paris with you?
No, I don’t even know you," she reminisced toPage Six.
Another idea he had was to simply go out for drinks, to which Young eventually agreed.
“She almost didn’t even come to our first date,” El Moussa later revealed onInstagram.
Today, he said, “I don’t know where I’d be if she didn’t.”
Even after leaving, they were FaceTiming the whole way home," she told Page Six.
Four months later, they finally took thattrip together to Paris, too.
In many cases, it solidifies that you even have one.
They were enjoying a date together at a restaurant in Laguna Beach, called The Montage.
“It was our fifth day of knowing each other,” El Moussa admitted toUs Weekly.
At that moment, El Moussa did.
“I loved her,” he admitted on the podcast “Not Skinny But Not Fat.”
“I loved her.”
Young was still selling real estate in Los Angeles.El Moussa was busy flipping housesnearly an hour away.
In order for them to be closer, the two eventually decided they needed to make a change.
Young packed her bags and never looked back.
“I know it’s crazy but we moved in together,” El Moussa admitted onInstagram.
“After only a week.”
“It was a very defining moment in my life after my divorce,” El Moussa toldPeople.
It turns out, these two love cars.
“I said a white [Ferrari].”
So, that’s exactly what she was gifted by her beau for her 32nd birthday.
It was a pricey present, considering the pair had only been together for two months.
Yet, ever since, El Moussa and Young have been spotted spending time at racetracks across the country.
“We drifted, raced cars and karts!!”
El Moussa wrote onInstagramafter one of their trips together.
“Heather is an animal!!
I’m not kidding this girl is fast!”
We’ll be sure to watch out for “Flip or Flop: Desert Edition” in the future!
At the end of the week was when El Moussa popped the question.
Young was shocked when he debuted a beautiful eight-carat his lucky number emerald-cut engagement ring.
Six months after announcing their engagement, the two decided to give her eight-carat ring an upgrade.
“We designed it together,” she said.
“And they made me want to have a baby.”
In July 2022, she and Tarek El Moussa surprised the world when theyannounced they were expecting.
It turns out, this was unexpected news for the two of them as well.
After two rounds of IVF treatments, the couple was shocked when they had conceived their son naturally.
“We still have embryos, so we might have another baby,” Young shared.
“I don’t know.”
“Tarek gave me the job of picking out the outfits for our family Christmas shoot.
“I decided on matching jammies.”
These two reality stars even like to put on costumes with them, too.
“Seeing them laughing is priceless,” Young told fans onInstagram.
“My life has changed so much,” she added.
“And I feel so fulfilled and happy.”
To make it even more permanent, she had his name tattooed on her hip.
“Yes, sir, Mr. El Moussa,” it reads in cursive writing.
After all the feedback, Young ended up removing the post entirely from the Internet.
“Forever and ever and ever,” he had written in the comment section.
It’s true, too.
Their love for each other and her body ink is eternal.
After a fun ski trip with their children, they officially purchased a cabin on Big Bear Mountain.
“Literally next door to where my parents still live.”
Young also has the exact same one inked on her arm.
to get to match, Young also now has her husband’s initials inked on her wrist.
“And we hope that everyone here who purchased our products feels the same way.”
After watching her husband at work, Young decided to join in on the fun.
The couple began their career journey together by purchasing 10 houses to renovate and then resell.
“This is my first time flipping homes,” Young said during an interview withHGTV.
