While Tarek’s post definitely got fans fired up about seeing his younger self, the HGTV star’s caption focused on reflecting on how different his life has become since then.
“The pandemic has forced many to miss their 20s [high school] reunion,” he wrote. “I can’t believe it’s been over 27 years since I took this photo.
