Hayley Kiyoko and Becca Tilley Announce They're Engaged After Seven Years of Dating
Hayley Kiyoko is officially engaged to her girlfriend of seven years, Becca Tilley. On July 10, Kiyoko posted a photo carousel of the beach proposal on Instagram with the caption, 'My dream girl said yes to forever…' Kiyoko proposed to Tilley with a custom cushion-cut diamond ring from Ring Concierge. 'Designing Becca's dream ring with Hayley was such a full-circle moment,' Nicole Wegman, the founder and CEO of Ring Concierge, said in a press release, per People. 'I've known Becca for years, so when Hayley came to us, it felt especially meaningful to help her design the perfect ring, one that truly captured their love story.' Ahead, get to know Kiyoko's fiancée. Tilley, 36, is best known for appearing on ABC's The Bachelor. She was a contestant on the 19th and 20th seasons. She's now the host of the pop culture podcast Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad, which has won two People's Choice Awards for Best Pop Podcast. According to People, the couple first met in 2018 at Kiyoko's album release party for her debut LP, Expectations. Tilley preferred to keep their budding relationship private, though, telling Entertainment Tonight, 'My last relationship with Robert [Graham, another Bachelor alum] was very public, and it made it very hard once we broke up, just the pressure of it. And I decided with this one, that I didn't want that. So I just have kept it private until I don't want to anymore.' But at the time, she did share that meeting Kiyoko at her party was love at first sight. 'I think it was just an instant connection,' she recalled. 'I've never had something so instant, like, from the beginning.' In May 2022, Tilley hard-launched her relationship with Kiyoko by posting a sweet Instagram video of the couple. She captioned it, 'hard to say if this is a hard or soft launch, but it is a launch ❤️.'

Heather Rae El Moussa Reveals Why She Wishes She & Husband Started Therapy Before They Got Married
HGTV star Heather Rae El Moussa is opening up about her therapy journey with her husband, Tarek El Moussa. While speaking to Us Weekly in a May 7 interview, Heather noted she and her husband, whom she wed in 2021, started to go to couples therapy in late 2024. She told the publication she would have preferred if she and Tarek had begun seeing a therapist prior to getting married. She explained that she believes seeking therapy before their wedding could have helped them 'just to learn to communicate through things.' 'I think that it can be a really positive thing for an individual and as a couple, and communication is key in any relationship, in a marriage and a best friend and parents," said Heather during the Us Weekly interview. She also said she thinks "it's natural" for married couples to face certain challenges. "Everyone goes through ups and downs and is learning how to work through them as best friends, as a couple, and navigating through certain hardships — or not hardships, just communication," said Heather to Us Weekly. Heather shared that she and her husband were going to couples therapy in a March 2025 episode of the Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad podcast, as reported by E! News. She said she and Tarek have disagreed about having another child. The couple has a 2-year-old son named Tristan. Tarek and his ex-wife, Christina Haack, also have two children, Taylor and Brayden. "We're very different on what we want with our future, which is hard because you know you're in love with someone and you have this strong marriage, but then you want very different things. So, we are in therapy talking through things," said Heather on the podcast episode. While speaking to Us Weekly in May 2025, Heather clarified that possibly having more children is not the only topic she and her husband speak about in therapy. Tarek spoke about going to couples therapy in an April 2025 interview on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. According to Tarek, he and Heather were inspired to go to a therapist after seeing their friends' successful marriage. He also said he was "99 percent" sure he would not have any more children, even though his wife would like to give Tristan a younger sibling. "I've been a dad a very long time, since I was in my 20s. I'm turning 44 this year. I'm starting to get a little bit older. And I'm very busy with work," said Tarek during the April 2025 interview.

Heather Rae El Moussa reveals the one thing stopping her from having more kids
Heather Rae El Moussa wants more kids — but her husband isn't quite on board yet. The 37-year-old former 'Selling Sunset' star was recently asked on the 'Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad' podcast if she would be interested in having another child with her husband, Tarek El Moussa 'That's a sensitive topic for me,' Heather Rae El Moussa exclaimed on the episode, released March 27. 'Obviously I have my stepkids and I'm so in love with them, but having your own baby — oh my gosh,' she continued, per People. 'It's so hard to explain it until you go through it.' The luxury real estate agent is already a mother to her 2-year-old son Tristan, whom she welcomed with Tarek El Moussa in 2023. She's also a stepmother to her husband's 14-year-old daughter Taylor and 9-year-old son Brayden James, both of whom he shares with his ex-wife Christina Haack. 'I never wanted to leave (my son). I want to be with him all the time. I still do,' Heather Rae El Moussa said of Tristan. 'He is the light of my life. It makes me so happy. I'm like, 'How could I not want more?'' 'But my husband is very much done,' she added. The couple met through mutual friends in July 2019 and dated for a year before Tarek El Moussa proposed during a boat trip to Catalina Island in 2020, according to People. They tied the knot in October 2021 before welcoming Tristan in January 2023. 'It's interesting because when we first met, we talked about not having kids of our own,' Heather Rae El Moussa admitted on the 'Scrubbing In' podcast, per E! News. 'I wanted to get married, but I had never met anyone that I would want to have children with,' she added. Things changed once the couple got married — and Heather Rae El Moussa started forming a connection with her husband's kids. 'We fell in love and you have this deep connection with someone, and then I loved being a stepmom so much,' she explains. 'I just wanted to experience it on my own and have my own.' Now that she has gotten a taste of what motherhood is like, she says she wants more before it's too late. 'I'm turning 38 this year. So, for me, it's kind of like now or never in a way,' she said on the podcast. 'Not because you can't have babies older, but I don't want to be 40 having babies still 'cause it's a lot.' 'It takes up a lot of your time, a lot of your life, and the kids are my priority over myself,' she continued. 'So I want to do it, get my body back. And it took a long time. It's hard.' Despite the disagreement with her husband, which Heather Rae El Moussa described as 'hard,' the couple have been 'talking through things' with a therapist at least twice per month. 'We never went to therapy together,' she explains on the podcast, 'which I wish we would have started it sooner because I think it's such an amazing thing and it helps communication.' This isn't the first time Heather Rae El Moussa has been asked about having a second child — though not much has changed since. 'You know my answer, come on,' she responded in an exclusive interview with E! News in September. 'We'd have to talk daddy into it.' Tarek El Moussa was a little more optimistic back then, but still noncommittal. 'Who knows? You just never know what's gonna happen,' he told E! News at the time. 'I finally feel ready to be a father in my 40s. It just took a while.'
