Heather Rae and Tarek El Moussa will never forget the moment their baby boy, Tristan Jay, entered the world. "They put him on my chest, and it was a surreal moment," the Selling Sunset star, 35, recalls. "It was such a beautiful thing." The little one's Jan. 31 birth - which nearly involved an emergency C-section was "a little dicey," the real estate investor, 41, admits.
But luckily, he adds, "it all turned out great, and he's doing fantastic." 1 Welcoming their first child together wasn't an easy road (in 2022, the couple learned they were expecting while in the middle of IVF treatments), which is why they're cherishing every moment.
"We watch him sleep, we watch him open and close his eyes, we watch his little smiles," Heather gushes about her little boy, who joins half-siblings Taylor, 12, and Brayden, 7 (mom is Tarek's ex, Christina Hall).
"You can't take your eyes off of him. He's the cutest thing." Tarek couldn't agree more: "We're really settling in and excited for what's to come." Here, the proud parents open up about their new addition exclusively to Us.
Congrats to you both! What can you tell Us about the delivery?
