Reality television personalities Heather Rae and Tarek El Moussa have revealed their distress following a troubling incident at their home while they were vacationing in Cabo San Lucas. The couple, known for their appearances on the HGTV show “Flip or Flop,” took to social media to express their feelings of violation and sadness over what transpired.
On 9 June, Heather, 38, shared a message through her Instagram Stories, stating, “Disgusted by some of the cruel, heartless people in this world. Tarek and I feel violated and, to be honest, really sad. Taking a break for a few days and will be back to explain soon. We are safe, and the kids are safe.” Tarek, 44, echoed her sentiments by sharing the same message with his followers on Instagram.
Reports suggest that the disconcerting event occurred at the couple’s residence while they were away, but specific details regarding the incident remain scarce. A source speaking to PEOPLE clarified that the couple was not home at the time of the occurrence, and it appears their family is taking precautions in light of the situation.
The El Moussa family is currently enjoying a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, accompanied by their extended family. Prior to the unsettling incident, Heather had been documenting their travel experience on Instagram, sharing both challenges and joyful moments from their trip. In her posts, she reflected on the difficulties of flying with their three young children, including their son Tristan, aged three, as well as Tarek’s children from a previous marriage, 15-year-old Taylor and 10-year-old Brayden.
In a lively Instagram Reel shared earlier this week, Heather described the early morning hustle of getting the children ready for their flight. She noted, “Today is Cabo day. We got up super, super early. I was so tired, I couldn’t even take videos this morning. We had to get three kids out the door by 7 a.m. — super fun.” While sharing glimpses of their travel to the airport, she expressed her excitement over Tristan’s enthusiasm for the trip, describing scenes of play and snuggles between father and son.
Once they arrived in Cabo, Heather documented a few light-hearted moments, including a visit to the vending machine with Tristan and the excitement of boarding the plane. She reminisced about their experience on the flight, noting, “So on the airplane we had snacks and we snuggled, and Tristan got to sit on my lap. We landed, and they offered me a tequila shot. I passed because I had to get everything unpacked and organised before I could go into holiday mode.”
After settling in and unpacking their belongings, Heather enjoyed a much-needed break, meeting Tarek at the bar for a margarita. She concluded her video with optimism about their holiday, stating, “It’s super windy here, but we’re going to have the best time.”
The El Moussa family recently announced their move to a new home in Orange County, California, with plans for renovation and updates shared with their followers on social media. This latest vacation was intended to be a refreshing getaway amidst their busy schedules, but the incident at their home has cast a shadow over their time away.
As the couple takes a break from social media to regroup, fans and followers are left hoping for more information upon their return. The sense of violation they describe serves as a reminder of the challenges public figures can face, even in their private lives. Meanwhile, supporters are offering their thoughts and best wishes for the family as they navigate this difficult situation.
