Tarek El Moussa Declares Love For Son Brayden In Emotional Birthday Tribute

In a deeply emotional moment, Tarek El Moussa showerd his beloved son Brayden with love as he celebrates his eighth journey around the sun.

The reality TV star is staying true to his previous proclamation that "dad life is a hundred percent the life for him," as his touching birthday tribute speaks volumes about the unbreakable bond between the father and son duo.  

The "Flip or Flop" star took to Instagram to share a series of photos of the celebrant over the years. He started with a cute picture of the pair hugging each other in front of a table lined with sweet treats. 

The following image also showed the realtor embracing his son from behind. The growing youngster could be seen sitting on a chair presumably watching the baseball game shown in the next slide.

Finally, the proud father included more pictures of the 8-year-old when he was younger to the time he was a baby. Alongside the snap, the "Brother vs. Brother" judge penned a sweet message to his boy in the caption:

"As you parents know, time flies and your kids grow fast! I can't believe my big boy Bray is turning 8 today. It feels like yesterday I was negotiating with him over Binky's🤣🤣🤣."

The 42-year-old noted that he created a slideshow to share their recent experiences which included a birthday party at Dave and Buster's, followed by an Angels game in the evening. El Moussa stated further:

"In the last two weeks alone we've been camping, sport fishing, dirt biking and to a pro ball game! I'm just loving being this kid's dad and I'm so excited for all the new fun things we are now doing. Things keep getting better and better and our bond stronger and stronger. I just love this kid❤️❤️❤️!" 

The heartfelt celebration continued as comments poured in under the post with many remarking on Brayden's striking resemblance to his father. "Looking just like his Pops. Happy birthday Brayden," one user noted.

Another message conveyed admiration for the "Rock the Block" judge's parenting, hailing him as a "damn good father." The sentiment echoed, as a commenter appreciated his "beautiful tribute of wonderful memories." 

Compliments also poured in for the youngster from fans who wished him a happy birthday and called him "A REAL SWEETIE," and the "coolest, sweetest little dude!!!" 

In June, the proud father showed off the bond between himself and his son by taking a nostalgic journey with Brayden. Sharing the heartwarming endeavor on his Instagram, the TV personality posted a touching video capturing them engrossed in a game of catch. In the caption, he wrote:

"I remember growing up and playing catch with my dad- It was one of my favorite things, and it's something I still remember till this day."

Reflecting on the experience, El Moussa acknowledged the powerful influence of life's small moments, expressing his wish that these memories would remain with Brayden. 

In May, The Blast reported that the "Face The Truth" panelist defined his desired role as a father to his children. On Instagram, he shared endearing images of himself alongside his newborn child. 

The snapshots showed the "Tarek's Flip Side" host lovingly holding the tiny tot, who was dressed in a striped army green and cream onesie and a white bib. Meanwhile, El Moussa donned a black T-shirt, dark jeans, a sizable wristwatch, subtle necklace, and stylish handbags. 

The HGTV star partly wrote in the caption, "Just trying to be the kind of dad my kids look up to. ❤️," before acknowledging his frequent travel due to work commitments and expressing that the moments spent with his family held the utmost importance to him. 

He shared, "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 🙏🏻."
