You guys all mean so much to me, that’s why you’re here,” the Selling Sunset star, 35, gushed in her introductory speech on Saturday, November 12, which was captured via her Instagram Story.Heather — who announced earlier this year that she is expecting her first child — noted that it was the 41-year-old Flip or Flop alum’s older children, who inspired her path to motherhood.“This has been a long journey.

I didn’t even think I was going to have a baby, so Taylor and Brayden, I love you guys so much,” the pregnant reality TV star said on Saturday, referring to Tarek’s 12-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, whom he coparents with ex-wife Christina Hall (née Haack). “You’re the reason I want to have a baby [and how] I fell in love with being a mommy, so thank you so much.”Heather, who wore a custom beaded gown with “Baby El Moussa” embroidered on the train, was joined on Saturday by her loved ones, including Taylor.
