Tarek El Moussa and wife Heather Rae’s $5m California mansion burglarized while they were
Tarek El Moussa and wife Heather Rae’s $5 million mansion in Newport Beach, California was burglarized on Monday.
Several high-priced items were taken from the home, TMZ reported on Wednesday.
El Moussa and his spouse were on vacation in Cabo San Lucas in Mexico when the crime happened. They had been posting to Instagram about their travels so it was obvious they were not at home.
Heather Rae, 38, seemed to refer to the burglary on social media this week as she said she felt ‘violated and sad.’ And she promised to share more information with her followers ‘soon.’
Tarek and Heather married in 2021 and share a son named Tristan, three. He also has two children with his ex-wife Christina Haack.

Newport Beach Police officers responded to the couple’s home around 5:40 PM on Monday after receiving a burglary call, according to the site.
Police are investigated the burglary to figure out how the break in occurred and exactly what was taken.
Tarek is best known for his HGTV show Flip Or Flop while she was on Netflix’s Selling Sunset. They also worked together on HGTV’s The Flipping El Moussas and The Flip Off with Haack.
Tarek and Heather are very close with his ex-wife Christina.
Last year Heather said her friendship with Haack is ‘developing.’
The reality star is stepmother to Taylor, 14, as well as nine-year-old Braydon, whom he shares with Haack. Haack also has a son with ex-husband Ant Anstead.
Heather Rae explained that working with Haack on The Flip Off has led to them bonding.
She told Us Weekly: ‘I think friendship is a very special thing, like being a friend. And I think we’re getting there, right? We’re opening up to each other about things. We help each other through things. We talk about personal things with each other and guide each other through things. So our friendship is developing even more and more.

‘It did [surprise me] because we talk about the kids. It’s school, school stuff and homework and discipline and sports, but then, we don’t know each other. We didn’t know each other on a deeper level of who we are as individuals and filming a show together and being around each other more outside of just the children. [‘The Flip Off’] got us to know each other on more of a friendship level.’
And she loves the work: ‘It’s an incredible show. We are very hands-on. We are executive producers. We helped create the show. We started in the show, and there’s always trash talk with Tar and Christina, not so much me. I mean, it’s fun to gang up on my husband. He’s just easy and he has fun with it.
‘Christina and I, we’ve built a friendship throughout The Flip Off and we co-parent together.’
