The 9-year-old son of Tarek and his ex-wife Christina Haack spoke with E! News and shared that he is hoping his dad and stepmom Heather Rae El Moussa will have another little one. Tarek and Heather, who are already parents to 2-year-old son Tristan, smiled alongside Brayden as he explained the hilarious reason why he wants another sibling.
'Well I want another kid just because to get Tristan away from me,' Brayden said. 'A little bit farther so he can hang out with his other brother and I won't get blamed for everything.'

"We already got four kids. We just need one more,' Brayden explained in his interview.

The Selling Sunset alum has previously spoken about wanting another baby. On a March episode of the Scrubbing in with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad podcast, Heather shared that she and Tarek aren't on the same page when it comes to having another baby.
"That's a sensitive topic for me!" Heather said of having another baby. "Obviously I have my stepkids and I'm so in love with them, but having your own baby — oh my gosh. It's so hard to explain it until you go through it."
"I never wanted to leave [my son]. I want to be with him all the time. I still do," she continued. "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."
The proud mom went on to explain that she's started thinking about growing her family after age became something she had to consider.
"I'm 37. I'm turning 38 this year. So for me, it's kind of like now or never in a way, not because you can't have babies older, but I don't want to be 40 having babies still 'cause it's a lot," she admitted. "It takes up a lot of your time, a lot of your life, and the kids are my priority over myself. So I want to do it, get my body back. And it took a long time. It's hard."
Although she said she wished she had talked with Tarek about having another kid right after having Tristan, Heather shared that she struggled with postpartum.
"I didn't have depression, but you go through crazy hormonal changes," she said. "You're taking care of this little human that needs you. It's not like you can just leave and go. They need you."
