Tarek El Moussa pays tribute to his wife Heather Rae El Moussa on her birthday.
On Saturday, the 42-year-old HGTV star reflected on her journey with her husband by declaring his love for her on Instagram — sweetly noting that everything they dreamed of “has all come true.”
For this year’s celebratory post, Tarek uploaded a compilation of short clips to the soundtrack of “Thank God” by Kane and Katelyn Brown. The tribute included moments showing Heather — who turned 36 on Saturday — in a white dress on a boat, spending quality time with their children, getting ready for a fancy night out and kissing her husband under an eye-catching fireworks display.
“When I wrote @theheatherraeelmoussa’s birthday card, I started thinking about our trip,” Tarek wrote in the caption. “We moved in together a few days after our first date and today we’re celebrating her 5th birthday! When we met, we talked about everything we wanted.”
“Almost 5 years later everything has come true. We are married, we have a son, we have a show, we have a job and we are still best friends,” he added. “Happy birthday bunny, I couldn’t do this life without you!:) I love you more and more every day. ❤️ ”

Heather then responded in the comments section of Tarek’s post, writing “I love you so much baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️ cutest.”
On his Instagram Story, Tarek shared more from his wife’s birthday celebration, including a floor covered in red rose petals, a bedroom decorated with lots of balloons, and a new pair of sunglasses for her special day.
In one clip Tarek shared, he gave Heather her birthday card as she replied: “Aw, you wrote it yourself.”
“What do you mean I wrote it myself? Who’s going to write you a birthday card,” he joked, and she replied, “it was written by an assistant.”
