Heather Rae Young Hails Husband Tarek El Moussa A ‘Hero’ During Flight Altercation Shortly After Announcing Pregnancy
On July 18, the Selling Sunset personality posted a selfie video with Tarek at a hotel after enduring a long day at the airport.
She wrote alongside the clip, “My husband did something very heroic when a man went crazy on our flight and verbally attacked & physically got in flight attendants & pilots faces.”
And while she did not go into detail, Heather said how she would share the “big story” tomorrow.
However, the alleged altercation on the plane wasn’t the only obstacle they endured during what she described as “the longest day ever.”
As seen in Tarek’s Instagram Stories, their flight was delayed nine hours. During their multi-hour wait, Tarek told fans that it was “mayhem” at the airport with “alarms going off,” multiple gate changes and a “fist fight.”
Eventually, the couple, who are expecting their first child together, made it onto the plane but that also changed and suddenly.
Tarek explained in his Instagram Stories, “Alright, you guys aren’t gonna believe this but pilot timed out [and] we had to get off the plane. We’re still in New York City. We’re at baggage claim and we’re gonna do this all over again tomorrow.”
According to The Independent, the term “timed out” refers to laws that regulate how long a pilot can work within a certain time period. Pilots are required to have at least 10 hours of time to sleep between flights, per the outlet.
Tarek and Heather ended up heading to a hotel to get some rest before, well, doing it all over again!
Heather and Tarek, 40, are expecting their first baby together in early 2023.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think my heart would be so full from being a step mommy… and now I get to be a mommy, myself,” Heather wrote of her relationship with the children.
“It’s crazy how life works. One minute you go from wondering when ‘the one’ with come into your life to meeting the love of your life, helping raise 2 incredible kids, getting married, envisioning having a baby, to being????,” she continued. “The most fun part of it all is how sweet and supportive Tay and Bray have been.”
