Tarek & Heather Rae El Moussa are counting their wins, as the HGTV stars let their fans know they recently scored a mini-victory in their family.
Using a joint post, Heather informed fans that she finally secured a family portrait five months after birthing her son Tristan. It would be recalled that the little one, born in January, joins Tarek's other children, Taylor and Brayden, from a former marriage to ex-wife Christina Hall, to make up the El Moussa family of five.
Heather Rae El Moussa Shows Off Her Family Bond With Sweet Family Portrait
The "Selling Sunset" star proved that any goal is achievable with an adorable family picture she recently uploaded on Instagram. The photo showed the doting mom-of-one and her loved ones posing together, with Tarek standing between her and Taylor while Brayden stayed in the middle. Baby Tristan was in his mom's arms on the right.
All of them appeared in casual fits and put on gorgeous smiles except for Tristan, who looked stunned— The pre-teen daughter wore a mini green dress, while her seven-year-old brother wore blue shorts and a pastel blue short-sleeve T-shirt.
At the same time, the actress slips into dusty denim pants with a chrome-like bomber jacket layered over a white vest while the tiny tot wore a greyish-striped onesie with grey socks and a feeding bib around his neck. The father-of-three opted for a white round-neck shirt with red sketches and dark-colored shorts with a black baseball hat.
The background of the post suggests the broods were in a restaurant when they posed for the snap. However, the real estate agent captioned the post with a direct statement where she implied that the photograph is the most satisfactory family portrait they have taken since Tristan was born. In the caption the proud mom wrote:
"Five months later, and we finally got a good photo of the five of us 😆 Our whole world, right here ❤️."
Without wasting time, fans began to serenade the post's comments with sweet remarks. "Gorgeous pic!!" one user wrote while another noted, "Cute picture!!! Y'all are so cute!!! Heather, you need to frame this picture and hang it up." A third fan stated, "Blended Family Bliss[,] what A Blessing." "Beautiful family 💕 Best Wishes on making a lot of family memories 💕," a fourth fan replied.
It is pretty refreshing to see the former Playboy model share a lighthearted and fun post with her 3.1M Instagram followers because last week, she was emotional talking about her son's challenge— "tongue-tie."
For the unserved — tongue tie is medically referred to as ankyloglossia, and it occurs when the strip of skin connecting a baby's tongue to the bottom of their mouth is shorter than usual.
Via her Instagram Story, the "Love in the Time of Monsters" actress revealed that her son has to undergo "tongue-tie revision," which is hurting her "mama heart."
"We had the revision done when he was a week and a half old. Unfortunately, down here," "The Flipping El Moussas" star said, pointing to the bottom of her tongue before saying, "is just really tight again, and it's not getting any better, even after doing all the exercises. We get body work all the time and stretches."
Heather, who was almost teary in the clip, also stated that even though she knows the procedure was the "best" option for him in the long run, she still feels upset and sad that it would hurt him.
Tarek El Moussa Tells Everyone That His Children Always Come First
Even amidst Tristan's medical challenge and Tarek's packed schedule, fans can always find the "Flip or Flop" alum doting on his children. Before his wife shared their son's soon-to-come surgery, the 41-year-old boldly stated the kind of father he wants to be to his kids, as reported by The Blast.
He shared two lovely pictures of himself cuddling with his newborn. Tarek's tiny tot dressed in a striped army green and cream-colored onesie with a white bib over his neck while he sported a black T-shirt and dark-colored jeans with simple accessories.
In the caption, the real estate flipper acknowledged that his wife and children are all he looked forward to seeing after days away from them due to business engagements. Plainly he wrote:
"These past few weeks have been crazy with The Flipping Summit, the premiere of Flipping 101, and speaking at the UWM expo, but in between events and speaking, all I look forward to doing is spending time with Tay, Bray, Tristan, and Heather. They're my everything, and they're what I do everything for 🙏🏻."
