Tarek El Moussa revealed he has found love once again in Netflix’s Selling Sunset star Heather Rae Young – and the blonde beauty exclusively revealed to Breaking Celebrity News that she once turned down the HGTV star before they got serious!
Earlier this year, Heather, 31, appeared on season one of Netflix’s Selling Sunset, which follows the lives of the real estate agents of the Los Angeles-based company, The Oppenheim Group.
