HGTV star Heather Rae El Moussa is opening up about her therapy journey with her husband, Tarek El Moussa.
While speaking to Us Weekly in a May 7 interview, Heather noted she and her husband, whom she wed in 2021, started to go to couples therapy in late 2024. She told the publication she would have preferred if she and Tarek had begun seeing a therapist prior to getting married. She explained that she believes seeking therapy before their wedding could have helped them “just to learn to communicate through things.”
“I think that it can be a really positive thing for an individual and as a couple, and communication is key in any relationship, in a marriage and a best friend and parents," said Heather during the Us Weekly interview.
She also said she thinks "it's natural" for married couples to face certain challenges.
"Everyone goes through ups and downs and is learning how to work through them as best friends, as a couple, and navigating through certain hardships — or not hardships, just communication," said Heather to Us Weekly.
Heather shared that she and her husband were going to couples therapy in a March 2025 episode of the Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad podcast, as reported by E! News. She said she and Tarek are not on the same page about having more children. The couple has a 2-year-old son named Tristan. Tarek and his ex-wife, Christina Haack, also have two children, Taylor and Brayden.
"We're very different on what we want with our future, which is hard because you know you're in love with someone and you have this strong marriage, but then you want very different things. So, we are in therapy talking through things," said Heather on the podcast episode.
While speaking to Us Weekly in May 2025, Heather clarified that possibly having more children is not the only topic she and her husband speak about in therapy.
"It’s something positive in our life that we actually look forward to going to together, and it’s bringing us closer together and having that deeper relationship," said Heather to Us Weekly. "It takes work. I mean, that’s the reality of life and marriage, but we are talking about possibly having another baby. I would like one, Tarek feels done, and I think that’s also very real. I think a lot of couples go through this.”
Tarek spoke about going to couples therapy in an April 2025 interview on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. According to Tarek, he and Heather were inspired to go to a therapist after seeing their friends' successful marriage. He also said he was "99 percent" sure he would not have any more children, even though he adores Tristan, Taylor, and Brayden.
"I've been a dad a very long time, since I was in my 20s. I'm turning 44 this year. I'm starting to get a little bit older. And I'm very busy with work," said Tarek during the April 2025 interview.
