Heather Rae Young first met Tarek El Moussa on July 4, 2019, and the couple quickly became inseparable. On Jan. 23, 2021, the Flip or Flop star shared an Instagram post revealing that Young moved in with him after just four days of dating. 

“It’s incredible to think how much life can change in a short period of time,” the Flipping 101 star captioned a smiling photo of himself and Young. “Yesterday was our 18 month anniversary and I love this girl more and more by the day! I came home with @heatherraeyoung after 4 days of dating, she moved in, and we never looked back. She has exponentially improved the lives of everyone in my family.”

El Moussa also bought Young her dream car, a white, hard-top Ferrari convertible, after just two months of dating. 

When the Selling Sunset star moved in with El Moussa, she was also moving in with his two kids, Taylor and Brayden, whom the Flipping 101 star shares with his ex-wife, Christina Hall

In January 2021, El Moussa told Us Weekly that it took a while for his son Brayden to get used to Young after she moved in with them. “He was three years old [when] she came in one day out of nowhere and, like, just moved in,” he said. “It took him a few weeks to get accustomed to it.”

HGTV star Tarek El Moussa revealed he didn’t tell his ex-wife Christina Hall when he introduced Heather Rae Young to their kids. He got candid in an August 2019 interview with ET, saying he felt like the Selling Sunset star “brought him back to life.”

“She is just so adorable … we’re having a blast,” he said before sharing, “I introduced her to my kids last night for the first time. My mom, my dad, my mom’s husband, my sister. So, we’re doing it! Very excited.”

When asked if the Christina on the Coast star knew about El Moussa’s new love, he replied, “Actually, no, I haven’t talked to her about Heather yet. So, that’s probably a talk I should probably have pretty soon. Like, probably today, considering I’m talking about her on TV now. She’ll probably find out I think? Yeah, I think I’ll give her a call.”
