Heather Rae Young gushes she falls ‘more and more in love’ with her fiance Tarek El Moussa

Heather Rae Young marked the one-year anniversary of her engagement to  Tarek El Moussa by sharing a slideshow of images from the beautiful day. 

In the images, taken at the at the Descanso Beach Club in Catalina Island, the lovebirds looked blissfully happy after she accepted his proposal. 

‘One year ago today I made the best decision of my life by saying yes to spending forever with the most special man,’ she wrote in her gushing tribute, before reflecting on the moment he got down on one knee.   

She continued: ‘I remember when he proposed…in that moment everything melted away and I was just staring at my forever person, fully in tears thinking how lucky I was that I got to spend the rest of my life with him.’ 

The 33-year-old realtor went on to thank El Moussa, 39, for putting a smile on her ‘face every single day’ and showing her what ‘true love and family’ is ‘all about.’  

‘I fall more and more in love with you as I watch how amazing of a dad you are with the babies, how hard you work, and how you put family and your loved ones first in your life,’ Young wrote in her heartfelt tribute. 

El Moussa’s bride-to-be concluded her post by describing the Flip or Flop star, 39, as her best friend and rock, while looking forward to ‘a lifetime’ together. 

The couple is currently vacationing in St Barts with his daughter Taylor, 10, and son Brayden, five, who he shares with ex-wife Christina Haack.

Tarek and Christina married in 2009 but split in 2016. They were officially divorced in 2018. 

The former couple shot to fame as a power couple on the HGTV home renovation scene and still work together on their show despite officially splitting five years ago.

They recently got in a nasty on-set dispute, which involved El Moussa allegedly branding Christina, 38, ‘crazy’ and declaring that he is ‘winning.’ 

He is also said to have compared her to his current fiancee Heather, calling Heather ‘richer and hotter’ than Christina, according to TMZ.

He allegedly also said: ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me. It’s called winning. The world knows you’re crazy!’

El Moussa is said to have lost his temper when Haack communicated to him that she and the crew were ready to start shooting. 

He was also allegedly unhappy about her recent public admission that she smoked toad venom – a psychedelic that she claimed helped with her anxiety – before she met her current boyfriend Josh Hall.

TMZ reported that the alleged tirade was not the first verbal showdown between the pair on set. 

El Moussa met his new partner Heather at a July 4 party in 2019 and they got engaged one year later. Haack went on to marry Ant Anstead in 2018 and welcomed son Hudson London in September 2019. They split the following year and their divorce was finalized in June. She has been dating Josh Hall for several months and they recently enjoyed a trip to Tulum. 

During their seven-year marriage, El Moussa and Haack endured many hardships including his stage 2 thyroid/testicular cancer, her fertility issues, and an ominous 2016 ‘suicidal’ incident involving police.
