"We're all very happy and this is so beautiful to wake up to everyday."
El Moussa, who also stars in HGTV's new Flipping 101, went into further detail on his own Instagram. "I can't believe I'm posting this right now but we are moving... and not into our new home!!!" he wrote on Jan. 26, accompanying the post with three crying emojis.
