Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young welcomed their little bundle of joy on January 31, 2023, a surprise addition to their family. The proud parents shared the news on Instagram, showcasing their hands on their newborn son's chest.
"On January 31, 23, our little guy is here!", read the caption on Tarek's post. "Mama and baby are happy, healthy, and although they're exhausted, they're doing well. Our hearts are overjoyed ❤️". The couple had yet to reveal their son's name.
Soon, congratulatory messages poured in from fans and fellow celebrities, including TV personality Bre Tiesi, who wrote, "Can't wait to meet him, my love!".
Married in 2021, Tarek and Heather underwent IVF treatment after learning they couldn't conceive naturally. The discovery of Heather's pregnancy was a shock, as they had just frozen their embryos.
"It was a huge surprise. We hadn't even expected it. We had just started the IVF process", Heather explained to People Magazine in July. She further added, "I think the world throws things at you when you least expect it, and there's no stress in life. I'm so excited that this happened."
Their son marks Tarek's third child, with his two children from his previous marriage to Christina Hall, Taylor (12) and Brayden (7). In March, Heather shared her bond with Taylor and Brayden, expressing her joy as a stepparent and her pride in them.
"Mornings are my favorite when I wake up Ty and Bray and give them hugs and kisses and see their sweet smiles", she wrote, accompanied by a photo of Taylor and family photos from the bedroom. "I love being a bonus mom, and I'm so proud of them."
As they navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood, the El Moussa-Young family is undoubtedly ready for a new chapter filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.
