Tarek El Moussa looks head-over-heels for new girlfriend Heather Rae Young.
The couple was caught showing off hot PDA at LAX airport this Friday, August 16.
As readers know, the HGTV star was previously married to Christina El Moussa, with whom he had a hit show, Flip or Flop. Their relationship ended in 2016 and the two were embroiled in a nasty divorce battle that was finalized in 2018. Still, the stars continued to co-parent their two kids, and fake their friendship on camera — continuing to film their show for several more episodes.
Now, the former lovers have moved on from their joint business and are individually thriving in both the romance and career departments.
Christina, 36, has gone on to marry fellow TV star Ant Anstead and was able to secure a new television show that will focus on her home renovation as she moves from Yorba Linda to Newport Beach with daughter Taylor and son Brayden.
Tarek, 37, as steamy new photos show, has been dating Heather — and their relationship appears to be rock solid.
Tarek's beau has been open about the level of confidence she has in her bond with him.
“I’m a really confident person and I’m confident in our relationship, and I think what he does and everything he has going on is so amazing,” Heather exclusively told RadarOnline.com in a video clip.
RadarOnline.com also broke the news that the Flip or Flop star has landed a solo show with HGTV. The network made the announcement Tuesday, July 23, revealing the new original series will be called Flipping 101 With Tarek El Moussa. The 14-episode series will feature Tarek as he “mentors real estate novices to help them learn the secrets of a successful flip,” according to HGTV.
