“She’s embarrassed by us,” Heather, 37, added. “We have a sprinter, and if we show up in the sprinter, she’s like ‘Why are you in the sprinter?'”
She added, “I’m like ‘We’re cool! Look at us.'”
Back in 2010, Tarek became a father for the first time when his then-wife Christina gave birth to their daughter, Taylor. In 2015, the couple became parents again when they welcomed son Brayden. After Tarek and Christina finalized their divorce in 2016 and he remarried Heather, Tarek welcomed his third child, son Tristan, in January 2023.
