It looks like things couldn’t go better for Tarek El Moussa and his girlfriend, Heather Rae Young. So much in fact, that Heather is bonding with his 8-year-old daughter, Taylor.
“It’s very new and I love it. His daughter and me bonded very quickly,” the 31-year-old exclusively told Life & Style at HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation premiere on September 5. “Oh, yeah. My daughter adores her,” Tarek, 38, agreed.
Despite the fact that Tarek and Heather haven’t been going out for long, Heather already won over Taylor. “She was amazing,” the Selling Sunset star revealed. “I think she was really excited to meet me and she loves her dad so much.”
The Flip or Flop star added that “they’re going to do a girls night.” How fun! “Yeah we do girly things together,” Heather said. “And yeah, I really love it actually. It’s been amazing.”
The couple also admitted that Heather meeting Tarek’s ex-wife, Christina Anstead, was very unexpected. However, it was a success. “Yeah, it was great. He kind of sprung it on me last minute,” she said. “We’re on our way to dinner. And he’s like, ‘Oh, we’re gonna go by the house.’ And it went well. We had great talks.” TBH, good for them!
Tarek and Heather made their relationship Instagram official on August 8, and it’s evident how crazy they are about each other. “It’s official!!!! After more than three years on my own, I’m so PROUD to say that this beautiful, sweet and talented young lady is my girlfriend!” he captioned an IG post about her at the time. “I’ll be honest and say I never thought I would meet someone special in my life after the last three years. Then, out of the blue, @heatherraeyoung walked into my life. The first time I saw her smile she ‘did that thing to my tummy’ and I knew right away I needed to get to know her … so I asked her out!! She said yes.”
It’s all about timing!
