Tarek El Moussa's Latest Post Hints At Big Future Plans With Heather Rae Young
When "Flip or Flop" star Tarek El Moussa first started dating "Selling Sunset" high-end realtor Heather Rae Young, he was very clear with her about how he saw the future. "I don't want to have more kids. I'm just in that place in my life," Young told People about what her now-husband told her at the time. She was on the same page, reassuring El Moussa, "I really was adamant that I didn't want to have children."
Of course, the HGTV star already has two kids with his ex-wife, Christina Hall, who recently married her third husband, Joshua Hall. By all accounts, the former spouses peacefully co-parent Taylor and Brayden — and Young is also in the kids' lives (via Hello!). In fact, being around El Moussa's children is what seemingly made her realize that maybe she would want to be a mom after all. "Now she's raising Taylor and Brayden with me," the home flipper told People in 2021. "And we have them [half the time] so she's full-on 'mom life,' and she's realizing she can do it. And she loves it."
As for when the newlyweds, who said "I do" in October of last year, plan to potentially try to expand their family, well, El Moussa's recent Instagram post may hint at his having babies on the brain.
Tarek El Moussa explains the special meaning behind some new ink
Taking to his Instagram, Tarek El Moussa shared with his fans that he recently did something else he never thought he'd do again other than consider having more kids. "I got my first tattoo almost 25 years ago and it was so bad [I] promised myself I'd never get another! Yesterday....I broke my promise," the reality star captioned a photo of his arm next to Heather Rae Young's.
The dad of two went on to share the meaning behind the series of numbers and letters inked on the couple's limbs. "It started out as just @heatherraeyoung and I getting our wedding date," El Moussa shared, going on to explain that he added his kids' birthdays as well. "So now, I have 3 special dates and Heather's initials on my left arm," El Moussa continued, going on to confess, "We also left some spots open for future kid/kids, yes I said it."
Meanwhile, over on Young's Instagram, she also shared an image of the fresh ink as well, revealing that she also got EL Moussa's initials on her wrist, simply captioning the picture with their wedding date.
Star friends support the couple's ink while some fans are disturbed
Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young, who recently took her husband's last name, received a slew of star reaction to the announcement that the would-be new dad was leaving room on his arm for tattooing the birthdates of future kids.
Emma Hernan from "Selling Sunset" commented with several heart-eye emojis while castmates Amanza Smith and Chrishell Stause also applauded the tattoos. Young herself left a sweet message on her husband's post, writing, "I love you TEM."
But some commenters were less struck by the sweet sentiment behind the couple's tattoos and more horrified by what this kind of ink conjured up. "Exactly the placement that millions of Jews were forced to get number tattoos before they were marched to concentration camps," one person wrote on Young's post. "Always soo odd a tattoo artist wouldn't mention that to someone getting numbers tattooed there."
This sentiment was repeated multiple times, to a cringeworthy extent. At time of writing, neither Young nor El Moussa had responded to the very troubling feedback.
