Tarek & Heather El Moussa Enjoy Double Date with Christina Haack and Her Boyfriend After Revealing New Home

Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa shared the news that they purchased a new home in an Instagram Reel on June 19 The married HGTV stars seemingly celebrated the exciting milestone with a double date night out with his ex wife Christina Haack and her new boyfriend Christopher Larocca Heather has previously shared that she and Tarek approve of Christina's new man after she split from third husband Josh Hall in July 2024Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa are celebrating a big milestone! After revealing they officially bought a new house on June 19, the married HGTV stars appeared to toast to the exciting chapter ahead during a double date with their The Flip Off costar and Tarek's ex-wife, Christina Haack, along with her boyfriend Christopher Larocca. In an Instagram Story shared by Heather shortly after announcing their big real estate news, Haack and Larocca can be seen sitting on the opposite side of the table at a restaurant while Tarek sits next to his wife. The Boomerang clip shows Haack and Larocca smiling as they bring their wine glasses to Tarek and Heather's in a celebratory toast. In the top left corner, Heather has Haack, Larocca and Tarek's Instagram handles tagged, followed by a champagne bottle emoji. Haack also shared the post to her Instagram Stories on Friday, June 20. This is not the first time the group of four have spent time together. In February, Tarek shared a photo of the group's first double date together in which he jokingly grilled his ex-wife's new boyfriend at the time following her messy split from her third husband Josh Hall. The photo showed both couples enjoying some outdoor dining as Tarek joked in the caption that his 'first round of interviews' with Larocca were complete. The funny post came nearly one month after Haack and Larocca's relationship went public in January. Since then, the foursome have also taken vacations together, most recently for a blended family getaway to celebrate Easter with their kids. Tarek and Haack, who were married from 2009 to 2016, share two children together: daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9. Tarek and Heather welcomed their son Tristan, 2, in January 2023. While the co-parents had a rocky start to their friendship, Tarek, Heather and Haack all get along well now, with Heather and Haack even seeing each other as good friends. Along with spending time together and celebrating each other's wins, the trio star on the hit house flipping competition show, The Flip Off, together.

The next few clips show the pair walking through the empty rooms, sharing a kiss and seemingly talking out some design options for the property. 'We have some news….We're moving!!! We are so excited for this new chapter and new adventure for our family,' they captioned the post. 'We can't wait to make this house a home and add our El Moussa design flare and show you guys some of the process.' Read the original article on People

Mom Thinks She's Safe at Home Playing With Kids—Then Hears Terrifying Sound

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mom of two who had set out to capture a cute moment with her daughter on camera ended up recording something altogether more unsettling. Arley Herrema, from Arlington, Texas, was at home with her 3-year-old daughter Ruby Jo and 7-month-old son Hayes when she inadvertently recorded the sound of something that left all three of them terrified. "My daughter was being cute playing hairdresser, so I wanted to capture the moment," Herrema told Newsweek. What she ended up filming instead was their reaction to the sound of a plane flying low over their home. Herrema posted the footage of their reaction to the sound to her TikTok @arleyherrema. Both Herrema and her daughter appear alarmed and confused by the noise, while her son starts to cry in the immediate aftermath. "I was terrified when I heard the noise. I did not know what it was initially," Herrema said. "Honestly, I thought it was a bomb at first, but then my rational thinking kicked in and realized it was a plane." It turned out what Herrema and her kids had heard was actually a "flyover" to mark Memorial Day. "We live close to the Rangers [baseball] stadium [at Globe Life Field] and they were playing a game that day," she said. Thankfully, Herrema said both Ruby Jo and Hayes calmed down "pretty quickly" after the initial incident, and she then decided it was something worth sharing to social media. She could never have predicted what would happen next. "I thought it was funny after the fact and crazy that I caught it on camera," Herrema said. "I had no idea it would spark such a political debate in the comments!" At the time of writing, Herrema's video has been watched over 3.8 million times. Many of those commenting on the clip have been eager to draw comparisons with what is happening in Gaza. "Imagine the kids in Palestine," the top comment on the video reads. "Now imagine all those babies in Palestine hearing that followed by explosions and carnage all around," a second wrote. A third commented: "Poor Palestinian children gotta go through that everyday multiple times a day and see worse and they know that sound is 100 percent a threat and not just a plane." Herrema said she had similar thoughts in the aftermath of her family's experience. "I had that thought as well when it happened and how scary it is for children and mothers who are being directly impacted by war," she added. "I didn't however just think of one side or even the current situation happening in the world, but any and everyone directly impacted by war past or present." That moment of reflection on the terrifying consequences of military conflict left her feeling a sense of gratitude for where Herrema and her family are in the world. "Definitely makes you grateful to live in the U.S.A.," she said. Figures published by the U.N., based on data from the Gaza Health Ministry, as of June 18, 2025, show that 55,637 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict. Those from March 22, 2025, gleaned from the same source, indicate 15,613 Palestinian children have died. The U.N. says Israeli media sources suggest there have been over 1,200 Israeli fatalities. At least 33 children are thought to have died. The Israeli figures include the fatalities from Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.
