Tarek El Moussa Gives Pregnant Wife Heather Shoutout For Making Christmas 'Better Than The Last'

Tarek El Moussa can't help but gush over his pregnant wife Heather Rae El Moussa for her efforts to bring the Christmas spirit into the couple's home.

Tarek gave his wife a sweet shoutout on Instagram this week after the pair, who wed on Oct. 23, 2021, celebrated their second Christmas together as a married couple.

"Dedicating this post to my wife who is an absolute rockstar!!" Tarek wrote on Instagram alongside a snap of him carrying their pet dog with Heather standing beside him, holding one of their pooch's feet and seemingly about to give their fur baby a kiss.

"She manages to make every Christmas better than the last- even while being in her third trimester," he added. "She makes sure our home FEELS like the holidays:) and sets up elves around the house for the kids, dresses us all up in Christmas pjs for family photos, laughs through the chaos, and makes sure to get everyone gifts that make them feel special."

The "Flip or Flop" alum revealed that his holidays weren't always merry and bright but that his wife brought a positive change to his Christmas celebrations.

"For a while there I had some lonely holidays and I'm never going back! I don't know how she does it, but I feel so lucky," he wrote.

Heather commented on her husband's post, "You are my rock. I love you so much."

Tarek and Heather spent Christmas Eve morning with his kids and enjoyed the day wearing their matching Christmas pajamas. Tarek shares two children with ex-wife Christina Hall — daughter Taylor, 12, and son Brayden, 7.

According to Tarek, the kids left to spend the night with their mom. However, they would be reuniting the following day.

"@theheatherraeelmoussa and I are doing nothing all day today which is sometimes our favorite thing to do. I will be missing the kids so much tonight, but I can't wait to get them tomorrow on Christmas day. How is everyone else spending the day?" he wrote in one post.

Heather and Tarek also shared some snaps from their holiday celebration with Taylor and Brayden. In one snap, the HGTV star and his children can be seen touching her baby bump.

"Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the El Moussa family!" Heather wrote in the caption. "Gifts are great, but we feel so lucky already to spend Christmas with the kids, our families, and with a baby boy on the way. There's nothing better than this time of the year when the town gets quiet and everyone just slows down for a second to spend the day with family. Hope you all have a great Christmas!!"

Christina's second ex-husband Ant Anstead commented on her post, "Happy Christmas you guys! X."

Tarek replied, "@ant_anstead Merry Christmas!!"

Christina also uploaded pictures of her Christmas celebration with her three children — Brayden, Taylor and Hudson, 3, whom she shares with Anstead — on her Instagram Story.

Some of her followers were surprised to see Hudson in her post considering she previously said she would no longer post him on her social media after Anstead accused her of exploiting their child.

Christina and Anstead, who were married from 2018 to 2021, recently settled their custody case, reaching a joint legal and physical custody agreement for their son Hudson last month.

She is now married to Josh Hall, while Anstead is dating actress Renee Zellweger.
