Heather Rae Young is opening up about connecting with Christina Anstead, the ex wife of her boyfriend, Tarek El Moussa.
In a new interview to promote the new season of Selling Sunset, the 32-year-old real estate agent said she reached out to Christina as her relationship with Tarek got more serious.
“I really put myself in other people’s shoes. I’m around the kids [Taylor and Brayden] every day. Tarek and I live together,” Heather explained while on E!’s Daily Pop. “It’s only natural for me as a woman to want to reach out to her as their mom and be like ‘Hey, I’m with your kids. Do you have any tips? Can you help me? I’m new at this. Like I don’t know what I’m doing.’”
She continued, “I was the first girl that he openly dated and introduced to his children since the divorce. I really think about, how would she feel as their mother, and a new girl is living with the kids? It’s only natural for me.”
Heather also revealed that Tarek won’t be on this season of Selling Sunset either. Season two started to film just as the couple started dating. Fans shouldn’t expect to see him on the show at all.
“I would love if Tarek could film with me, but unfortunately, right now he can’t because of his network and his show,” Heather shared. “But when I signed up for a reality show, I signed up to put my whole life out there.”
Heather‘s co-star Chrishell Stause recently opened up about having to see her short marriage to Justin Hartley crumble on screen.
