Tarek El Moussa and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, are speaking out after becoming the victims of an unsettling home burglary.
“Disgusted by some of the cruel heartless people in this world,” Heather, 38, wrote in a Tuesday, June 9, statement shared via Instagram Stories and reposted by her husband, 44, on his social media account. “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 & the kids are safe.”
The couple was enjoying a getaway to Los Cabos, Mexico, when their $5 million mansion in Newport Beach was targeted. Many “high value” jewelry pieces were reportedly stolen during the burglary, according to TMZ.
Newport Beach Police said suspects shattered a rear sliding glass door in the backyard, allowing them to gain access into the couple’s residence. The burglars ransacked the primary bedroom closet before fleeing the property.
Last summer, Heather and Tarek shared their decision to buy the stunning Orange County home, which has since been seen on their HGTV show, The Flip Off.
“We have some news….We’re moving!!!” they wrote in June 2025. “We are so excited for this new chapter and new adventure for our family.”
The pair are parents to 3-year-old son Tristan, while Tarek shares daughter Taylor, 15, and son Brayden, 10, with ex Christina Haack. (Tarek and Haack, 42, were married from 2009 to 2018 before he and Heather tied the knot in October 2021 and welcomed their first child in January 2023, making up their blended family. Haack, for her part, is also mom to Hudson, 6, shared with ex-husband Ant Anstead. She’s been dating boyfriend Chris Larocca since the fall of 2024.)
Prior to the burglary, Tarek and Heather had been documenting moments from their family trip.
The El Moussas are moving — and they already found the perfect house. “We have some news. We’re moving!!!” Tarek, 43, and Heather, 37, captioned a joint Instagram post on Thursday, June 19. “We are so excited for this new chapter and new adventure for our family.” They added, “We can’t wait to make this […]
“Passed on the arrival tequila shot but definitely a few margaritas in now… 🏝️🍹” a video was captioned on Sunday, June 7, showing them boarding a plane and enjoying snacks before arriving at the resort.
“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,” she said in the clip. “I got some snacks from the vending machine with Tristan. We were running around, Daddy was snuggling him and playing with him. And he was so excited to get on the airplane and get to Cabo. He could not wait, it was so cute.”
She revealed it was “super windy” when they arrived but they were ready for a great time.
