NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA: Heather Rae El Moussa is prepping herself to go on maternity leave! Husband, Tarek El Moussa, took to Instagram to share the news and how things will change for the couple, work-wise.

Heather may have found filming her new HGTV show, 'The Flipping El Moussa', bittersweet because her maternity leave is fast approaching. Tarek took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 17, to update his followers that production for their new series had been halted due to "some construction delays/permit issues." This has made things tough, and their goal of completing "10 projects together" has become a lost cause. However, the former 'Flip or Flop' star seems delighted as he shared that the premiere date of 'The Flipping El Moussa' will be announced soon.

The caption reads, "One of the last flips @theheatherraeelmoussa and I will walk together before the baby arrives. 🙏 We started 10 projects together and unfortunately due to some construction delays/permit issues a few aren’t going to be done before Heather is on Maternity leave- she’s bummed about it because she most likely can’t walk some of the final projects with me but there is always a solution, as you’ll see on the new show!! 👀 We’ll hopefully be able to announce the premiere date of The Flipping El Moussa’s soon but for now I just want to know who’s already excited!!? We definitely are 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️."

The pregnant reality TV actress just finished filming Season 7 of her Netflix series 'Selling Sunset', noting in a social media post that it would "likely" be her "last day" of filming before her baby boy is due later this month. After being married in October 2021, Heather and Tarek revealed in July 2022 that they were expecting their first child together, third child for the 'Flip or Flop' alum. Tarek and ex-wife, Christina Hall, co-parent daughter Taylor, and son Brayden.



 

On Wednesday, June 22, the pair announced their new HGTV project in a press release. In addition to Heather learning the nitty-gritty of house flipping from Tarek, the series will follow key milestones in their personal lives, such as a home remodel and their struggles with infertility. The children of the 'Flip or Flop' star will also feature on the show as they navigate life as a blended family.



 

Tarek will also appear in a second season of his solo house renovation show, 'Flipping 101 With Tarek El Moussa,' which will premiere in 2023.
