Tarek El Moussa Gets Public Show of Support From Wife Heather and Ex Christina Haack After Las Vegas Battery Incident
The heartwarming post, featured a sweet image of the three 'Flip Off' stars posing alongside Taylor, 14—whom Tarek, 43, shares with Haack—as well as the former couple's second child, Brayden, 9.
In the caption, the El Moussas and Haack urged the the teenager to learn from their past 'mistakes,' noting that they hope their own struggles help to lead her to a 'brighter future.'
'Taylor we are so proud of you and so excited for you to head into the next stage of your life. Our beautiful, smart, incredible, bright light we all love and adore you,' it read.
'We hope all the mistakes you've watched us make throughout your life help to guide you to a brighter future…. love you baby. High school here we come!'
The post was shared just hours after it was reported that Tarek, who divorced Haack in 2018 and went on to wed Heather in 2021, had been involved in a physical altercation inside a Las Vegas resort.
According to E! News, Tarek received a citation for battery after he was involved in the June 5 incident, which unnamed sources told the outlet had come about because the HGTV star was 'protecting his elderly father.'
'On June 5, 2025, LVMPD officers responded to a battery incident in the 3300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard,' the local police department said in a statement. 'Two males were involved in a physical altercation resulting in one being cited.'
It's understood that Heather, 37, was with her husband at the time of the incident, but that she played no role in the altercation, per TMZ.
Tarek has yet to issue a statement about the incident; however, Realtor.com® has contacted his spokesperson for comment.
The joint post that the home-flipping pro shared is the latest indication of the strengthening bond between Tarek and his former spouse, Haack—whose relationship faced a very rocky patch after their acrimonious divorce and subsequent custody battle.
However, after the duo signed on to appear together in their latest HGTV project, 'The Flip Off,' they went through a very public on-screen reconciliation, with Tarek offering his ex a great deal of support amid her breakup from Josh Hall.
Haack and Hall's split came shortly after filming on the show had begun and was documented in great detail throughout the series, which was originally meant to feature the couple going head to head in a renovation battle against Haack and Tarek.
However, after Haack and Hall announced that they had separated in July 2024, the latter was removed from the show.
In the first episode, Haack was seen asking Tarek to come over to her Newport Beach, CA, house so she could speak 'in private,' before telling him that she and Hall had 'officially split up.'
'Things with Josh have been bad for a long time. Not just kind of bad. Like, bad,' she told him. 'And the kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he's not nice to me.'
Weeks after the show began airing, Heather spoke exclusively to Realtor.com about the 'struggles' that she and Tarek had seen Haack and Hall going through, admitting that 'we kind of knew something was coming.'
'You definitely see some tension between them on camera and I would say like, after he left the show, [Christina] was much lighter. It seemed like she was happier and it made the show a lot more fun,' Heather explained. 'Whereas when he was involved, there was a lot more smack talking; and I know that she wasn't enjoying filming with him.'
She went on to voice her support for Haack's new beau, Christopher Larocca, revealing that she and Tarek had already been on several double dates with the couple.
'We've gone to dinner with them a couple of times, and he's come to some kid things, and I'd say, so far I like him. I have nothing negative to say about him, and she seems happy,' Heather shared.

Heidi Klum has awkward exchange with ‘rude' contestant during her ‘Project Runway' Season 21 return
Heidi Klum has returned to her runway. But not everyone was thrilled to hear what the host, 52, had to say during the Season 21 premiere of 'Project Runway' on Thursday. After a Disney-themed challenge put contestant Antonio Estrada in the bottom, he had some tense words for Klum, who returned to the competition series after stepping away in 2017. 8 Heidi Klum is back on 'Project Runway.' Disney 'Am I being 'Punk'd?' Estrada questioned after they announced his fate. The model, who serves as both host and head judge, quickly responded: 'No.' After judges Nina Garcia and Law Roach gave their feedback, Estrada pointed fingers at Christian Siriano, the designer's mentor. 'You keep blaming everything on Christian,' Roach noted. 8 Heidi Klum and Christian Siriano on 'Project Runway.' Disney 'Christian told me his intern could make that dress in 30 minutes,' Estrada quipped as Siriano, 39, agreed. 'I just think this dress underneath, an intern could make it in 30 minutes. It's a tube dress,' the fashion icon continued before Klum added that Estrada's model 'just looked like a big loofah.' Estrada didn't take kindly to the 'America's Got Talent' judge's feedback. 8 Antonio Estrada creates his dress on the Season 21 premiere of 'Project Runway.' Disney 'I'm a Gemini, and I don't like people telling me what to do,' he explained. 'And I was like, 'You're an adult, you're going to listen to Christian, he's here for a reason, he's your mentor.' And I did listen to him. That's why I changed my look three times. You pushed me to be better.' However, the competitor's words didn't sit right with the panel. Roach, 47, called Estrada's words 'spicy' as Garcia, 60, echoed her co-worker's sentiments. 'Antonio, you're being so defensive. We're just trying to understand your work. I don't think there's any reason to be defensive,' the Elle magazine Editor-in-Chief said. 8 Heidi Klum, Law Roach, Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano. Disney 'I think Nina's right to call that out,' Roach added. 'I think you're being defensive, and also a little bit rude.' 'It's okay to be criticized and to be let down by the criticism. But to kind of throw it back comes across as really quite nasty,' he went on. 'I'm just letting you know, one girl to another.' At the end of the episode, Estrada evaded elimination. A returning designer, Caycee Black, left the show instead. 8 The competitors get to work on the season premiere of the fashion competition show. Disney Klum, meanwhile, initially hosted the show from 2004 to 2017. She won the 2013 Emmy Award for her role, alongside her former co-host Tim Gunn.

'It feels so amazing to be back,' Klum told E! News. 'It really feels like coming home.' 8 The contestants show off their creations on 'Project Runway.' Disney 'And then doing this with Law,' she stated, 'and obviously Nina, we've known each other for so long, Christian Siriano. And just having these 12 amazing, talented designers on the stage, it's just the most fun thing for me to watch and be part of.' Roach himself was excited to work with Klum. 'To hear Heidi was back, it was like, 'Okay, this feels good,'' he told the outlet. ''This feels like history.'' Garcia noted that not all of the competitors could take the heat. 8 The competitors talk during their first competiton. Disney 'The competition is tight, but I also think the judges, we are really telling them honestly how we feel,' she told viewers. 'And some take it well, some don't.' Along with a drama-packed season, viewers are in store for a slew of celebrity guest judges, including Tyra Banks, Nikki Glaser, Zac Posen and Sara Foster. Also making an appearance is Klum's fellow 'AGT' judge, Sofía Vergara. 'I was so happy that she said yes, because she's wearing, ultimately, the winning look,' Klum shared. 'I said to her, 'If you really hate it, I'm just gonna have to wear flats every time when I see you,' because she hates being shorter than me. She's always like, 'Klum, take those heels off.'' 8 Season 21 of 'Project Runway.' Disney Klum and her former co-host Gunn, 71, both exited 'Project Runway' seven years ago, with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star sharing a heartfelt goodbye at the time. 'After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying 'Auf Wiedersehen' to 'Project Runway,' a show that I was honored to host and help create. I am incredibly proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart,' she said in a statement. 'I am so appreciative of the dedicated fans, and most of all, I am grateful that we could shine a light on creativity and help launch so many talented designers' careers.'

Quack, pray, love: Willie and Korie Robertson are carrying on the 'Duck Dynasty' legacy after patriarch Phil's death
The Robertsons infamous motto "faith, family and ducks" has been put to the test during this season of life. Faith, family and ducks: This simple motto turned the Robertsons into household names and reality television stars on the A&E series Duck Dynasty. But in this season of their lives, those priorities are being tested like never before. When Phil Robertson, the beloved patriarch and spiritual cornerstone of the family, died at age 79 in May after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's late last year, it marked a profound moment of loss for the tight-knit Louisiana clan. Phil's death came just days before the premiere of A&E's Duck Dynasty: The Revival, which brought Willie, who is Phil's son, and his wife, Korie, back to television after an eight-year hiatus. The family loss didn't cast a shadow over their return, but instead, became a way for them to honor a legacy, hold each other close and find new strength in old roots. "It's good and bad. There's sadness, of course, but also so much joy in what he accomplished," Willie tells Yahoo about his father. "Without [his] faith, our family would've fallen apart." One thing's clear: While the dinner table may look different and the spotlight may come and go, the Robertsons remain grounded in what matters most. Their foundation is as strong as ever. Branching out The Robertson family skyrocketed to fame thanks to the hit reality series Duck Dynasty, which premiered in 2012 and ran for 11 seasons. It centered on Phil and his wife, Kay Robertson — affectionately known as Miss Kay — alongside their four bearded sons and extended family, as they built a duck call empire. The 2025 reboot, which premiered on June 1, shifts its focus to Willie and Korie's branch of the family tree, including their six adult children and a growing number of grandchildren — at least eight so far, with more on the way. Willie and Korie are parents to Rebecca, 36; John Luke, 29; Sadie, 28; Will Jr., 23; Bella, 22; and Rowdy, 22. "[Sadie] may have had the baby while we were talking," Willie jokes on our Zoom call. "Someone might've gotten pregnant while we were talking!" With the season finale on Aug. 3, Willie and Korie are taking stock of how far they've come and how much life has changed behind the scenes. "It's been really fun getting to do this as a family," Korie tells Yahoo about making the new series. "We're so grateful to get to do it with our grandkids. ... They're kind of the stars — in our minds, at least." Willie agrees, though he admits he's ready for a break from the cameras. "TV's hard. It's a long journey, and we've been doing this for a while," he adds. Willie says he was worried for his youngest children and his daughters and son-in-laws, who were not used to being on camera. 'It's tough to [film] all that, especially for those with young families, putting this much time into it,' Willie continues. 'It's a lot of time and effort." Still, returning to reality TV has had its rewards — from watching the next generation grow together to sharing big milestones, like Sadie and her husband Christian's gender reveal for baby No. 3 in the finale. And, of course, celebrating life the Robertson way: big and joyful. Returning to television as grandparents, not just parents, also gave the couple a different perspective. "We were a lot younger back then," Willie says about filming the original Duck Dynasty. "You're older now, and your kids are adults. Back then, we were teaching them everything. Now we're watching their personalities come out and how they handle work — it's really interesting." Phil and Miss Kay are still very much part of the revival's heartbeat. "One special moment [with Phil] was in the first episode, where we had the last clip of Dad giving us a thumbs-up. At that point, he was already deep in Alzheimer's," Willie says. Phil's impact stretched far beyond the bayou. "The man lived at the end of a dirt road, never used a cellphone, never touched a computer and still impacted millions," Willie says. "There's a video of him saying, 'Don't cry at my funeral. I know where I'm going.' So there was a sense of pride. His funeral wasn't doom and gloom — it was a celebration." "It really was a celebration of life," Korie says. "Reading the comments [online] afterward [about Phil], it was inspiring. Behind the scenes, it's been beautiful to see the family come together. All the brothers supported one another, taking care of Phil and Miss Kay. It's exactly what the Bible means by honoring your father and mother. They've done that well." They confirmed Season 2 will feature an episode reflecting on Phil's legacy. As for Miss Kay, Willie says they're taking it day by day amid her ongoing health challenges. "Her health is up and down, but she's amazing — she keeps bouncing back. I think a lot of what she's going through is tied to grief and depression from losing Phil. ... But somehow, she keeps coming back — funny and feisty as ever." Faith first As the family rallies around Miss Kay, they continue to lean on the one thing that has always grounded them. Faith remains at the center of the Robertson household and of the revival. "That's a big part of why we're still in entertainment," Korie says. "The first time around, we saw the impact — people telling us how meaningful it was to see a family of faith on TV.' Korie says she believes entertainment fundamentally shapes our culture. 'That's why we do the podcast, write the books [and] came back to television. Our prayer is always to be a light in the world,' she says. Willie jumps in: "And to show that you can have faith and still be normal. You don't have to be a preacher. We're not trying to convert everyone. We just live our lives and show it through how we love each other." The couple's own relationship — they've been married for 33 years — has been tested plenty over the decades. In this season of loss and joy, they've leaned on each other more than ever. "Korie's a good partner," Willie says. "You have to work at a partnership and put time into it. Especially when life gets busy, like ours.' Willie says their family motto — faith, family and ducks — has meant more now than ever. 'We've seen it in our own families. When the marriage starts breaking down, it affects everything,' he says. 'That's why we say faith, family and then work — in that order. If your relationship with God isn't right, it'll show up in your marriage. If your family's struggling, that'll show up at work." Korie says that at the start of each year, she likes to pick a theme to represent the 365 days ahead. She didn't anticipate her choice for this year's word would hit so close to home. "My word for this year was unity. That's been my prayer — for our family to stay unified, and for Willie and me to stay unified too,' she says. That, in the end, might be the heart of the revival — not just of a show, but of a family choosing to show up for one another. In joy and in grief, with love, laughter and duck calls, the Robertsons are still doing what they've always done best: sticking together.
