Heather Rae El Moussa doesn’t talk about it as often lately, but in her heart she continues to long for another baby with husband Tarek El Moussa.
The HGTV designer got candid- and emotional- when she sat down with “Dancing With the Stars‘” Peta Murgatroyd for her brand new podcast, “The Penthouse With Peta.”
The podcast is filmed at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Gable & Lombard Suite in Los Angeles.
And Heather was Peta’s very first guest.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the series will see Peta sit down with fellow reality television stars to talk motherhood, entrepreneurship, careers and reality TV.
Heather El Moussa Gets Tearful About Babies
In the podcast, Heather Rae El Moussa reveals that she and husband Tarek got pregnant unexpectedly just a few months before they planned to try their first round of in vitro fertilization.
They already had embryos frozen. “Tarek had testicular cancer, so he has one testicle. And I had low fertility. So we just didn’t think we’d be able to,” Heather revealed. But to their surprise, they got pregnant. “We got pregnant, I think it was July, and we were going to implant in October,” Heather said.
“We had already done the embryos. We had four. We had three boys and a girl,” Heather went on. “Our boys were strong so we were gonna put a boy in.”
Heather and Tarek now have nearly two-and-a-half year-old Tristan. But talking about babies made Heather tear up.
“I get emotional,” she admitted. “You know, I want to have another baby. I’m kind of like in that state right now. I have two beautiful stepkids. I have my son. So I get like emotional because of the one baby thing, and being a woman, I’m like ‘am I ok only having one?'”
“I’m turning 38,” Heather confided. “When you start getting into your late 30’s, it’s like, I know it can happen, but am I going to be able to? How am I gonna carry one? How’s my body going to react? And having kids far apart was something that I.. yeah…,” she trailed off shaking her head.
Heather Says She & Tarek Are Still At Odds Over Expanding Their Family
When Peta Murgatroyd relates how she got pregnant, she tells Heather, “I truly believe it will happen for you. It will.”
But Heather says, “Well, mine is more that my husband doesn’t want another one, necessarily.”
Peta asked, “Is that a definite no?”
“No,” answered Heather. “It’s not. And I did actually speak to the universe the other day. Because I’m like, you know, if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen for us and just kind of let it go. Because every time I would talk about it, I would get emotional, like a mourning.”
“My husband doesn’t always see that,” Heather added. “Because I’m smiling, and I’m having fun and I’m like ‘well, everyday I’m not going to tell you that I’m mourning maybe not having a baby.”
