Heather Rae Young has revealed she’s “open” to having children with her new husband Tarek El Moussa.
The Selling Sunset star married her beau last month, just over two years after the couple first met.
Tarek is already the father of two children – Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 6 – who he shares with his ex-wife Christina Haack.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Heather revealed she and Tarek have spoken about having children of their own.
The realtor turned reality star said: “We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we’re open to it. And it would be a big decision. It’s not just something that I want to say, ‘Let’s just see if it happens.'”
“To create something with him, that’s ours, together… I feel I would regret it if I didn’t. So we’re open to it.”
Heather admitted she and Tarek had initially ruled out the idea of having children together.
She recalled: “When we first met, I vividly remember this conversation we had. It was about two weeks into our relationship… It was very early on. And I remember he showed up [to my apartment] and I could tell he was bothered by something.”
The 34-year-old explained that Tarek sat her down and told her: “I don’t want to have more kids. I’m just in that place in my life.”
“I said, ‘Well, I don’t want kids, either.’ And I really was adamant that I didn’t want to have children,” Heather said.
The TV personality admitted that all changed as her bond with Taylor and Brayden grew and they opened her up to the possibility of becoming a mom herself.
She said: “I loved them from the beginning, but my love for them has grown so deep. And it’s a love that you don’t know about until you have kids in your life. The things they say, they drive us nuts, but they’re so cute. And they’re so sweet and their hearts and I just… They’re pure.”
“I realize now why people want to have babies and then more babies because you see them grow up and you’re like, ‘No!'”
