Heather Rae Young and Tarek El Moussa announced the birth of their first baby together

On Feb. 2, Heather Rae Young and Tarek El Moussa shared matching Instagram posts announcing the birth of their first child together. The photo showed Tarek and Heather’s hands wrapped around the newborn, whose face was cropped out of the shot.

“Our baby boy is here [white heart emoji] 1.31.23,” the reality star couple captioned the adorable picture. “Mama & baby are happy, healthy, tired but doing well. Our hearts are so happy [red heart emoji].”

Tarek and Heather first revealed they were expecting a baby in July 2022. Heather is also the stepmother to Tarek’s two children, Taylor and Brayden, from his first marriage to HGTV star Christina Hall.

The Selling Sunset star has been understandably quiet on social media. But she has shared photos of all the beautiful flowers sent by friends and family, and she also gave a quick update on how she’s feeling after giving birth.
