TV presenter, Ant Anstead joined the droves of well-wishers to congratulate Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa.

Tarek was previously married to Anstead's ex-wife, Christina Hall, in 2009. The duo divorced in 2016 after having two children, Brayden, six and Taylor, 11.

Heather Wanted To Have A Child With Tarek
Prior to his marriage to Heather, Tarek was married to Hall and had two children with the television show host. The former couple separated in 2016, and by 2018, they finalized their divorce. Tarek married Heather in 2021 after meeting in 2014.
Although Heather had her hands full with the tv personality's children from his previous marriage, she soon decided to have her own child with him. During her recent interview with People, she said, "But as your love grows more and more and you fall deeper in love with someone, and you build this life together, I started picturing myself having a child with Tarek."
She revealed that at that point, she started thinking of having a baby with "the man I'm in love with."
"I'm just obsessed with my kids. They're my everything, so having another one is just icing on the cake. I'm so excited," Tarek added.
Anstead Was Married To Hall
After the failed marriage with her "Flip Or Flop" co-host, Tarek, Hall met Anstead via a mutual friend and started dating a while later. They kept the relationship private for three months before making it public.
They tied the knot privately at their California home in New Port Beach.
The former couple were married for two years and had a son, Hudson, due to the union.
Anstead and Hall announced their divorce a year after welcoming their son via their respective Instagram accounts.
By early 2021, the duo announced that they were co-parenting their son, and things were going amicably. Anstead told People, "There's never been a scenario where I've asked for him and not had him and vice versa."
Anstead And Tarek Are Friends
During a September 2021 interview with People Magazine, Anstead shed light on why he had such a good relationship with Tarek and Heather. According to the "Celebrity IOU: Joyride" star, the relationship resulted from the months he spent co-parenting Taylor and Brayden during his marriage with Hall.
The television presenter further revealed that despite not being with Hall, he still thought of the children as his. "I'm a big supporter of modern-day parenting. I'm a big supporter of modern families," he said.
The television presenter continued, "I think it's amazing how generations evolve to fit within the current times, and right now, we live in a time where blended families are common, and ultimately you have to have relationships that are healthy with all this extended family. And by default, I've inherited an extended family [in Tarek and Heather]."
Anstead continued, "To treat them in any other way would be dishonorable. I'm really proud of how we all kind of manage that modern blend."
