Mary Fitzgerald is praising Heather Rae El Moussa’s role as a mother.
The real estate agent, 42, chatted exclusively with PEOPLE at the Pencils of Promise pre-gala party about her Selling Sunset costar, who welcomed son Tristan with husband Tarek El Moussa in January. (Heather is also a mom to Tarek’s two children he shares with ex Christina Hall — son Brayden, 7, and daughter Taylor, 12.)
“Everyone always asks me what advice I can give her, [but] that girl doesn’t need advice. She was meant to be a mom. She is so, so loving,” Fitzgerald said.
The realtor added that Heather is “probably one of the kindest people” she has ever met and has a “heart of gold.”
“She just exudes this motherly love,” she explained. “I watch her with Tristan, and I’m just like, ‘Wow.’ She didn’t need any advice. She’s a natural.”

“That’s just who she is,” she said.

When asked if she has met Heather and Tarek’s newborn yet, Fitzgerald revealed that she and husband Romain Bonnet have been around the 5-month-old.
“We hang out with Heather and Tarek all the time,” Fitzgerald said, detailing that her and Heather’s husbands “bro out” when they get together.
“Heather and I love each other,” she continued. “We are very, very close — and we love them.”

Fitzgerald also told PEOPLE that she doesn’t believe Heather and Tarek, 41, will have more kids together.
“They got to three, and she’s like, ‘Wow I did not realize how much it changes the marriage. It really gets in the way of just, like, doing your thing,’ ” she said of Heather, adding that the change has been “tough” for the reality TV star.
