Tarek El Moussa is engaged to his one-year-old girlfriend, Heather Rae Young.
The Moussa, which features “Flip or Flop” and “Flipping 101” on HGTV, asked Young, the star of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset”, as he celebrated his first anniversary on Catalina Island, California.
The Moussa, 38, posted the happy news on Instagram early Sunday.
“She said yes!” El Moussa wrote alongside a photo of him and Young, 32, showing them dressed up as the real estate magnate slips an engagement ring onto his fiancée’s finger. Moussa added the hashtag “#FlippingHerLastName”, a nice reference to his career as a house-flipper master.
Young posted the same photo on his Instagram along with the caption: “The future Mrs. Tarek El Moussa!”
The Moussa shares two children, Taylor, 9, and Brayden, 4, with ex-wife Christina Anstead, star of “Christina on the Coast” and co-host on “Flip or Flop.” The couple separated in 2016 and divorced in 2018 after nine years of marriage.
Anstead has remarried to English television presenter Ant Anstead, with whom she shares a son, Hudson, 10 months.
El Moussa’s engagement comes just a year after he and Young began dating. The couple quickly became exclusive and they moved in together, and El Moussa talked about waking up with their love in an Instagram post earlier this year.
“The best part is that now I have someone to sleep with and wake up with every day,” he wrote. “The best part is, that person is @heatherraeyoung! I’m a lucky guy!”
Moussa told TODAY Parents last year that he thought carefully about bringing Young into his children’s lives. He said that she was the first woman he dated and introduced him to Taylor and Brayden.
“It was not someone who had just dated a group of different women,” she explained. “I was waiting for the right person, who I thought would be right not only for me, but for my children to meet. With Heather, I knew immediately, and that was it.”
The last few years have been a whirlwind for El Moussa. After being diagnosed with two forms of cancer and going through a public divorce, he is settling down with Young, whom he called “the love of my life” in a candid one-year anniversary Instagram post earlier this week.
“July 4 was different,” El Moussa wrote about the day he met Young in 2019. “It was the last thing I expected, but I met the love of my life. The second our eyes connected and we smiled at each other. I knew my life would never be the same … It is incredible in every possible way and the most important thing is that it loves and adores Tay and Bray. “
Congratulations to the happy couple!
