Tarek El Moussa's New Girlfriend Not Intimidated By His Ex-Wife Christina
Tarek El Moussa’s hot new girlfriend, Heather Rae Young, is not intimidated by the fact that the Flip or Flop star still works alongside his ex-wife Christina, she revealed in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com.
Heather, 31, works as a luxury real estate agent at The Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles. She sat down with RadarOnline.com on Monday, August 12 to discuss details of her blossoming new relationship with Tarek, 37, and what it was like filming Netflix’s Selling Sunset, which followed the lives of her and her co-workers.
According to the blonde bombshell, Heather does not believe Tarek’s working relationship with Christina will get in the way of their new romance.
“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 told RadarOnline.com in the video clip above.
“I’m fully supportive of everything,” she added.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Tarek revealed on Instagram earlier this month that the couple have made it official. Flip or Flop fans immediately called attention to Heather’s striking resemblance to Christina, 36. The women also have similar careers in the real estate industry.
But despite the similarities, Heather told RadarOnline.com she’s nothing but supportive of Tarek and Christina’s reality show success.
“I think his fans are very supportive,” Heather told RadarOnline.com. “He’s such a likable person so it’s nothing of concern.”
As Selling Sunset viewers may know, Heather recently ended a three-year relationship with her hockey player ex, who signed a two-year contract to play overseas in Sweden.
She revealed to RadarOnline.com that she met Tarek on the fourth of July through “mutual friends.”
Heather even divulged to RadarOnline.com that Tarek previously asked her out before they met. However, she did not act on the opportunity to meet Tarek because she was still in a relationship.
When the two finally met this past July, Heather was available. She believes the two met at the right place and the right time.
“It was only positive things coming into it,” Heather said of the couple’s union. “I wasn’t out looking for that. It just kind of happened, and so far, all of his fans have been wonderful to me. So far, so good.”
In addition to selling some of Los Angeles’ most prestigious homes, Heather works as a model. She was formerly Playboy’s Miss February 2010.
On August 8, Heather took to her social media accounts to announce her new relationship with Tarek.
“It’s official!! I am so happy and so grateful to have this amazing, kind hearted, funny man by my side. @tarekelmoussa I am so proud to call you my boyfriend!!” she tweeted with heart emojis.
Tarek has also gushed about Heather, revealing that she’s the first girlfriend he’s had since his nasty divorce from Christina.
“I’ll be honest and say I never thought I would meet someone special in my life after the last three years,” Tarek captioned an Instagram photo of the new couple. “Then…out of the blue @heatherraeyoung walked into my life. The first time I saw her smile she ‘did that thing to my tummy’ and I knew right away I needed to get to know her…so I asked her out!! She said yes.”
“In life you can’t predict the future! I couldn’t predict divorce! I couldn’t predict two cancers! I couldn’t predict my back injury! You just never know what tomorrow brings.”
The father of two added that Heather “makes me want to be a better man.”
