Tarek El Moussa Gets Public Show of Support From Wife Heather and Ex Christina Haack After Las Vegas Battery Incident

Yahoo11-06-2025
HGTV star Tarek El Moussa made a very poignant return to social media in the hours after he was involved in a physical fight in Las Vegas—sharing an emotional tribute to his teenage daughter, Taylor, in a joint post with his wife, Heather, and his former spouse, Christina Haack.
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.

‘Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson reveals late father Phil Robertson's final message

'Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson revealed the final message that his late father shared with their family before his death. In May, Phil Robertson, famous for founding the Duck Commander hunting company that became the focus of his A&E show, died at the age of 79. The 'Duck Dynasty' family patriarch had previously battled multiple health conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. 'Phil had been struggling with Alzheimer's for a while,' Willie, 53, said. 'It was on our mind for sure, his condition. It's part of life.' He continued, 'Phil had such a strong faith. He told us before, 'Do not cry at my funeral. I know where I'm going.'' 'What a life he lived,' Willie added. 'We heard that from thousands of people, the people he impacted. Phil would have wanted us to do exactly what we're doing. Whatever is a reflection of that faith, and our show is a reflection of our faith.' 'Not overtly. We're not trying to preach to people or convert people, but I think you can see the fruit in the faith of our show and our family and how it sticks together through good times and bad. That's why we are on this earth. As we move on, I think it's a reminder to all of us the time will come. I hope I have a funeral like that where people feel that way about me as well.' Phil, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in December, passed away during the same week that his family's new show 'Duck Dynasty: The Revival' premiered. Though Phil did not participate in 'Duck Dynasty: The Revival' due to his health issues, the series' first episode included a tribute to him. 6 Willie Robertson shared his late father Phil's final message to his family before his death. Instagram The video begins with footage of Willie reading an introduction for the show off his laptop to Phil, who was seen sitting in an armchair. 'So ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Only one will earn the bandana, so let the games begin. What do you think, Phil?' Willie asked. Phil replied by giving his son a big thumbs-up. The scene faded to black as a photo of Phil appeared alongside the in-memoriam tribute. 'Ah, that was awesome!' Willie was heard saying in response to his father's gesture in the background of the tribute. 6 Phil Robertson died on May 25, 2025. Willie's wife Korie, who joined him for the interview, told TV Insider that the timing of Phil's death was 'a little surreal.' 'It was really special to our family that we had that one little clip,' she said. 'When filming this time around, he was already in the throes of Alzheimer's, so he wasn't able to be part of the show. We did film that one little thing where he gave Willie the thumbs up.' 'It was really special because, for our family, it felt like, 'OK, this is his opportunity to pass on the torch to us,'' she continued. 'It's funny to see the comments [from fans] who are like, 'The next generation are yuppies. They aren't passing things on.' 6 Phil was famous for founding the Duck Commander hunting company that became the focus of his A&E show. Art Streiber 'But we are passing on Phil's legacy because his legacy was first about faith,' she said. 'His whole motto was faith, family, ducks, in that order. His first was faith. All our kids are living that out in really beautiful ways and family.' 'That's what this show is about,' Korie added. 'It's about family, inner-generational family living life together and what that might look like. And then ducks. We're still running Duck Commander, the business he started from the duck call he invented years and years ago. That has been really special to carry that legacy on now after his passing.' Phil founded Duck Commander in 1972. The 'Duck Dynasty' television show premiered 40 years later, in 2012, before it ended in 2017. 6 The reality television star died during the same week that his family's new show, 'Duck Dynasty: The Revival,' premiered. Jason Kempin During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Willie and Korie explained how they were coping after losing Phil and how they were touched by the outpouring of support that they received from fans. 'I think it's a combination of some sadness, just we miss him, but also joy and happiness from what he believed and where he was going and all the things he was able to accomplish in his life,' Willie said. 'And so many people that he helped and we were reminded of that at his passing. And just so many people just flooded us with messages of how he had helped change their life, either directly or indirectly through the show or through the podcast or books he has written.' 6 President Donald Trump laughs with Willie Robertson and Phil Robertson, the family patriarch, at a campaign rally in Monroe, La., Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2019. AP While Willie shared that it was 'tragic' watching his father suffer during his battle with Alzheimer's, he said it helped prepare the family for his passing. 'You're ready,' he said. 'We knew, he's ready to move on and so yeah, it's kind of mixed. But there was really more joy.' 'Phil pre-warned us,' he added. 'We told a lot of funny stories and just brought back all those fun memories,' Korie chimed in. 'It's a little bit the Robertson way. Even in the hard things, we laugh a lot through it.' 6 ​​Phil's wife, Kay, previously spoke out about how the couple struggled during the early years of their marriage. Phil Robertson / Facebook Korie said they hoped future generations would be inspired by Phil's dedication to his faith and how it transformed his life. 'Just in passing down that legacy — one of the things that we've just been reminded of over and over again is just this man who lived down on the river, didn't own a cell phone or a computer — what God did with his life. Because he was just truly passionately sold out for Jesus,' she said. Korie continued, 'And so I think for all of us, it's brought even more of a boldness to our faith to say like, 'Hey, we follow Jesus, and that's who we are.' And if you want to know more about it, come talk to us because it's brought a full life.' 'And a changed life,' Willie added. 'There would never have been a 'Duck Dynasty' show. There wouldn't have been company had his life not changed. This family would not have stayed together.' Phil's wife Kay, 77, has previously spoken out about how the couple faced marital struggles in the early years of their union due to Phil's alcoholism and infidelity before he committed to his faith. The pair, who married in 1966, had four sons including Willie, Alan, 59, Jase, 55 and Jep, 47, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 'It's all responsible to his faith and his life change, of he and mom together to keep this family together,' he said. 'And now we're seeing so much fruit of that.'

Erin Napier Equates Summer to THIS Throwback Cereal—and Fans Can Relate

As summer starts to wind down, parents across the country are beginning to count down the days and weeks until their little ones head back to school. For some of them, including HGTV star Erin Napier, the end of summer has become something that's somewhat bittersweet. In a series of photos uploaded this week, Napier shared a handful of sentimental moments featuring herself and her two daughters: Helen and Mae. She also included a heartfelt note about wanting to "stop the clock" before her kiddos return to school. "how do we stop the clock so school never starts back? anyone else soaking up this time with your kids like raisin bran in whole milk? 😍," Napier wrote. And she isn't the only one wishing they could slow down summer to enjoy more time with family. Plenty of fans chimed in in the comments section to the Home Town star's Instagram post. "I've got 4 girls. We've been swimming all day. Even staying up late to swim at midnight. Going to the aquarium, riding in the car with the music up and the windows down, playing in the rain, eating ice cream for I could make these days last forever," one person shared. A handful of fans also offered this pretty simple solution to Napier's summer dilemma: homeschooling. "I homeschooled mine from 4th grade until she left for college. Loved having all that added time together," read cone comment. "This year we really did find a solution for that… We withdrew her from public school and are giving a go at homeschooling. There's just something so enlightening about being the one who helps their brains grow," someone else chimed in.
