DUBAI: “Flip or Flop” star Tarek El-Moussa, who is of Middle-Eastern descent, announced his engagement this week to actress Heather Rae Young.
The 38-year-old American TV personality popped the question on the weekend while the couple were celebrating their one-year anniversary on a boat trip to Catalina Island, California.
El-Moussa and Young, who stars on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset” and is a luxury real estate agent, first sparked romance rumors in July 2019, almost two years after he split from the mother of his two children, Christina Anstead.
When speaking to American weekly magazine People, El-Moussa said he secretly drove to the bride-to-be’s parents to ask for their daughter’s hand.
And what was the engagement ring like? El-Moussa said he chose an eight carat, colorless, emerald-cut diamond. “The diamond is perfect all the way around, just like Heather,” he told the publication. “I also picked this ring because eight is a lucky number.”
