Heather Rae El Moussa and husband Tarek El Moussa are already HGTV legends — but would they ever compete on Dancing With the Stars?
“Tarek was [approached] back in the day,” Heather, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, October 8, while promoting her beauty brand, Heather Rae Essentials.
She noted that despite being offered a spot on DWTS years prior, Tarek, 44, isn’t the most confident dancer.
“The man can dance a little. I don’t think he thinks he can,” Heather shared, adding that she would “totally be open to it.”
Heather told Us she’d rather do the ABC competition series as a couple — especially since she and Tarek work so well together.
“I think it would be fun to do Dancing With the Stars together and, like, [the] competition [of it all],” she said, teasing, “May the best couple win!”
When asked whether she would like to compete against Tarek’s ex-wife, Christina Haack — who is also their The Flip Off costar — Heather confessed, “I don’t think Christina would do it.”
Heather Rae El Moussa didn’t get the feedback she was expecting after sharing her attempt to learn a new dance. “Day 1 learning how to twerk,” Heather, 36, captioned an Instagram Reel on Monday, June 17, which also featured her husband, Tarek El Moussa. “How’d I do? 🤷🏼♀️ Be nice guys 😂.” Tarek, 42, quickly […]
Though Christina, 42, “doesn’t like dancing,” Heather would say, “Let’s go!”
Haack was married to Tarek for seven years before they split in 2016, finalizing their divorce two years later. The former couple share two children: Taylor, 15, and Brayden, 10.
After their divorce, Haack and Tarek continued to cohost Flip or Flop until the series came to an end in 2022.
Heather, meanwhile, began dating Tarek in summer 2019, two years before tying the knot in 2021. The pair welcomed their first child, son Tristan, in 2023.
The married couple starred on HGTV’s The Flipping El Moussas for two seasons before teaming up with Haack for The Flip Off earlier this year. During season 1 of the show, Haack briefly worked with her today-ex Joshua Hall, competing against Tarek and Heather to see who could do the better house flip.
The thought of joining The Real Housewives of Orange County has crossed Heather Rae El Moussa’s mind — and, possibly, the mind of Bravo producers. “Well, you know, they may have reached out to me and I’m just too busy right today,” Heather, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, September 23, when partnering with […]
Amid filming in 2024, Haack and Hall, 45, split after nearly three years of marriage. Haack remained on the show solo, and her ex-husband Ant Anstead eventually joined her for a cameo. (Haack and Anstead, 46, divorced in 2020 after nearly two years of marriage. They share son Hudson, 6.)
Despite her divorce drama with Hall, Haack continued to mesh well with Tarek and Heather on their show, which was renewed for a second season.
“It’s all about winning,” Heather told Us on Wednesday of her and Tarek’s approach to the new season. “We do not want her to win. I feel like, you know, she’s motivated right today because she wants to beat us. We won the first round, and so we got to really, really be on our game.”
As Haack prepares for redemption, Heather is focused on growing her beauty brand, Heather Rae Essentials, which features clean, everyday products for every woman.
“I launched Heather Rae Essentials back in February. On Valentine’s Day,” Heather recalled to Us.. “I like to make a big splash. … We sold out in 48 hours.”
Heather began working on the line in 2021 after getting her aesthetician license when she was just 19. Her new launch was released on her birthday this summer and once again sold out.
“This is just the beginning. This is just the start. There’s so much more to come, but I wanted to create products that I actually use,” Heather told Us of her current lineup, which includes a “staple lip gloss,” a body scrub and more items. “These are my daily staples I use every day, and I wanted to give it to the world, because I know makeup.”
She gushed, “I’m obsessed with my products. I use them every single day … and what’s great about these lip glosses is you can layer them.”
