It sounds like everything went smoothly during the delivery
Tarek went on to assure his fans that all is good with his growing family. "Mama and baby are happy, healthy, and tired but doing well," he continued. "Our hearts are so happy."
Tarek and Heather first announced they were expecting a boy in July. While they still haven't revealed his name, we're sure they picked a good one since they had plenty of time to think about it.
This is the first baby for the couple
Tarek has two children — 12-year-old daughter Taylor and 7-year-old son Brayden — from his previous marriage to Christina Hall. But this is the first child for Heather, who has been documenting her journey to motherhood on social media ever since she and Tarek first announced that they were hoping to have a child together.
The new baby came shortly after they started IVF treatments
In April 2022, Heather opened up about her and Tarek's fertility path, explaining how despite having begun IVF treatments her body was still "not ready" to become pregnant.
"I have a lot of things coming up and a lot to prepare for," she told Page Six at the time. "Already having two kids and balancing work and life and family — just everything. I just felt like my body's not ready."
But the two were soon surprised to learn that they had a baby on the way.
Congrats to the El Moussa family
We couldn't be happier for them. We imagine Heather and her new little boy are taking some time to recover and bond, but we hope that when they're ready, Tarek will share a little bit more about the baby with his followers. We are dying to see what name they chose and to get a glimpse of that cute face.
