Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young: We're Getting Married! On TV!

October 04, 2021

Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young.

But that's not all.

Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young -- and you'lll be able to hear them from your living room.

The Flip or Flop co-host and the Selling Sunset star have announced that, first, they are getting married later this month.

And, second, the nuptials will be televised for a Discovery+ special that is scheduled to air in December.

"When we decided to do a wedding special, it wasn't an easy decision because a wedding is so beautiful and intimate and private so we actually went back and forth for months deciding," Heather told Entertainment Tonight.

So, what prompted a mind change?

Was it a great deal of money?

Not exactly, Young told Entertainment Tonight, citing Tarek's two children,11-year-old Taylor and 6-year-old Brayden, and adding:

"For a long time it was a no, and as things started going on and then, like, the tux fitting with Brayden and Taylor's dress shopping, we were [thinking] how cute would that be to film?"

Continued the Netflix personality:

"And I think too that just showing the world our love and you know, it's funny, I hear a lot, especially from my page, I don't know if he gets it, but people think our love is cheesy or maybe it's not real.

"We really are so in love."

To be clear, we're sure Tarek and Heather are getting paid a hefty sum for this special as well.

El Moussa and Young got engaged in July 2020.

They had initially wanted to exchange vows in Mexico, but the Covid-19 pandemic forced them to change plans and they'll now tie the knot on the Calfornia coast.

"We want people to see the journey of our love and our wedding and bring people into our lives but it was a big decision, because our lives are out there so much," Heather told ET.

"We were just saying, 'Do we want this moment to be private or do we want the world to see it?' So, I hope the world is happy that we're filming it."

Viewers will witness Young's dress fitting on the special, along with the couple's engagement photo shoot and the involvement of Tarek's cute kids.

"Brayden is the ring bearer and I'm a little nervous about him holding the ring and then Taylor, she's kind of whatever she wants," Heather said.

"She's like the head bridesmaid, she's the head maid of honor, she's the flower girl, so, she's everything."

The upcoming ceremony will mark Young's first marriage, while El Moussa was previously wed to fellow HGTV star Christina Haack.

Just a few weeks ago, she announced her own engagement.

"You give me that teenage kinda love vibe and manly protection," Haack wrote last month after fiancé Joshua Hall.

"It's a combo for a lifetime of happiness + success. Thank you for reminding me what life and love are like when you put down the technology. I love you Josh."
