Selling Sunset alum Heather Rae El Moussa posted a series of holiday photos of her family. The former Selling Sunset star slayed in a red lace dress and smiled alongside her husband Tarek El Moussa, their 23-month-old son Tristan and her 9-year-old stepson Brayden.
Haters gonna hate:
“The dress is not appropriate,” wrote a social media user. “You’re a mother now.”
Heather wasn’t having it.
The upcoming star of The Flip Off replied, “So, because I’m a mother I can’t wear a pretty dress that makes me feel beautiful? What does that have to do with anything?”
“I am still a human and my name is Heather. I’m not just a mother. Choose joy.” Heather posted this exchange to social media with an extra remark.
“Comments like this make me laugh. I don’t even get offended anymore by the rudeness of others. I choose to spread joy, not hate.”
Heather and Tarek’s story:
Flip Or Flop’s Takek met Heather on the Fourth of July in 2019. They were partying on boats that had docked next to each other at a marina in Newport Beach. Later that month, the pair were spotted kissing on a yacht.
Tarek confirmed to E! News they were dating that August, saying, “I never thought I’d say this word again, but this beautiful young lady, Heather Rae, is my girlfriend, officially.”
They were engaged in July 2020 and were married on Oct. 23, 2021, exchanging vows during a romantic outdoor ceremony near Santa Barbara.
Heather has often referred to herself as the “bonus mom” of Tarek’s two older children, Taylor and Brayden. “I already feel like I have two kids. I’m raising Tarek’s babies, and we have them 50 percent of the time. I am such a good bonus mommy.” She added, “I adore those kids. I raise them like they’re mine.”
