Why Tarek El Moussa's Daughter Taylor Wasn't in Heather Rae El Moussa's Thanksgiving Tribute  – JP

Heather Rae El Moussa didn’t waste any time shutting down her critics.

The Selling Sunset alum gave a sweet glimpse into how she and Tarek El Moussa celebrated their thanksgiving, sharing family snaps featuring their 22-month-old son Tristan, Tarek and ex Christina Haack’s son Brayden, 8. While both Heather and Tarek’s parents were along for the celebrations, Tarek and Christina’s daughter Taylor, 14, was noticeably absent. And Heather was quick to set the record straight on where the teen was.

“For the haters- Tay is on a trip with her mom,” the 37-year-old wrote to cap off her Nov. 28 Instagram post from the festive occasion, “that’s why she’s not in our photo.”

But before taking the time to curb any potential backlash, Heather detailed how the rest of the family celebrated Thanksgiving.

“We love the holidays and sharing this day with our loved ones,” she explained. “We are thankful for each other & the relationship that we have. A strong foundation to get through hard times together & to be able to grow together as husband and wife.”
