Tarek El Moussais settling into fatherhood.

“I finally feel like I’m ready to be a dad,” Tarek joked.

“It’s a different experience. When I was in my 20s when I had my daughter, I was young, I was building my business,” he continued. “I was overwhelmed. I was stressed out. And today, I’m a little more established. I’m a little older. I’m a little wiser. So it’s a different experience and I’m really enjoying it.”

“Well, my daughter is definitely helpful. My son? We’re getting there,” he laughed. “He loves to play with his brother. He’ll play with his daughter all day long but helping? That’s questionable.”

Last week, Heather took to Instagram toshare more about her life as a mom to Tristanand a stepmother toTaylorandBrayden. The sweet Instagram post featured a photo of her and Tristan wearing matching olive green outfits.

“All 3 of the kids have made me a better person in different ways. I got my feet wet with Tay & Bray & then Tristan’s sweet soul chose me to be his mama,” Heather captioned her photo dump.

“The kids have given me different perspective of life. There is a different purpose when you become a mother, you think different, you feel different,” she continued. “Life is more fun, but scary, I worry about things I’ve never worried about before. It’s chaotic but it’s beautiful chaos. I barely rest, I never have lazy days. Some days I miss that. But the alternative is SO much better. 🤍.”

She also gave an update on her son Tristan, revealing that the little one can now say the words “mama,” “dada” and “dog.” The reality star shared that her son has taken two steps, but he’s not quite walking yet.

She added, “He gives kisses & hugs. He loves being outside. He’s so sweet but strong willed. He loves pacis and drinking water. 😊”
