Tarek El Moussa First REACTED This Way To Pregnancy News From Heather Rae Young

Congratulatory messages are still rolling in for reality star Heather Rae Young and her husband, Tarek El Moussa, who are expecting their first baby.

The messages began after the reality star broke the exciting news of her pregnancy with a post that she captioned, "Surprise!!! Baby El Moussa coming early 2023!!" 

Now, moments later, the "Selling Sunset" has opened up about the moment she shared the news with her man and his reaction.

Not one to keep the good tidings in her life away from her 2.8 million followers, Young uploaded three new media – two videos and one picture – to show fans how El Moussa reacted to the news of their unborn baby.

In the first video, the expectant mother handed her husband a box he unsuspectingly attempted to open. Once the package is opened, the "Flip or Flop" host brings out a pregnancy test stick and is shocked at what he sees.

EL Moussa then turned to his wife to ask if she was pregnant, and once she answered in the affirmative, he exclaimed, "holy sh*t!" then leaned in for a smooch and intimate hug.

In the next slide, the fans got a close-up look at the box's content – three test sticks and a "cute bear" onesie. They also saw a clip of Young leaning over a kitchen sink while the person behind the camera confirmed her test result on the stick. 

While the videos and image spoke volumes, Young's lengthy caption got her fans in their feelings.

After the "Playboy's Playmate of the Month" for February 2010 wrote, "Now that the secret's out here comes the fun part... story time," she said:

"I was two days late on my period and Tarek and I are so in tune with each other that he turned over to me and said 'babe will you take a pregnancy test today' and I said sure but kinda blew it off cause I didn't think I was pregnant."

Young added that once she was alone, she decided to take a digital test but became "so busy" that she forgot to check the results.

She eventually remembered, checked the test, saw that she was "PREGNANT!!!," and promptly began "freaking out" by herself.

However, it was not until she took two extra pregnancy tests that she "finally believed it." The blonde bombshell concluded her story, penning:

"[I] started getting super excited to share the news with T. We had been trying so hard for a baby and I really wanted to make the surprise special so I ran out and got a little onesie and put it in a gift box with the three #firstresponsepregnanctests – it was so perfect and sweet."

Fans quickly took to the comment section to congratulate the California native, who has been open about her and El Moussa's fertility journey.

In fact, The Blast shared that the couple were gearing up for an embryo implant next fall as part of their IVF treatment when they got this shocking news.

The former ticket checker even admitted that she did not want children when she and the "Flip or Flop" star started dating – the latter already had two kids, Taylor and Brayden, from his previous marriage to Christina Hall.

However, seeing how her man doted on his kids changed her mind and set her on the path of wanting to have children – any way she could – with him.

In December 2021, The Blast noted that Young held nothing back when she opened up about her fertility journey, including the difficulty with the process.

The "Malibu Horror Story" star disclosed that she started by undergoing a medical test showing six follicles on one side and a cyst on the other. Fortunately, the cyst just needed to be monitored as it did not pose much of a problem.

Young added that if she and El Moussa decided to move forward with fertility, she would begin freezing her eggs earlier this year.

She concluded by claiming that she was detailing her fertility problem to encourage other women who wanted to have kids but were unsure about the process.
