Tarek El Moussa, Christina Haack Celebrate Son Starting 4th Grade

School is in session.

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack are thrilled about their children’s recent achievements, particularly as Brayden, their nine-year-old son, begins a new school year. Despite their separation in 2018, they managed to present a harmonious front during this significant event.

As I embark on Brayden’s first day of the fourth grade, I, Christina, shared this moment on Instagram with a heartfelt post featuring our embrace. Tarek, Heather Rae El Moussa, and their young son Tristan were also present for this joyful occasion. The caption read, “A new school, a fresh start, new adventures-it’s time to dive into the chaos!

In the photograph, Christina and Tarek’s teenage daughter Taylor, who was starting her first day at high school, was noticeably absent. However, there’s no need to fret as Heather captured their significant day in an Instagram Story posted on August 18th, documenting their blended family’s event.

In a shared post, the star of Flipping El Moussas announced that both Taylor and Brayden were starting at new schools – Taylor beginning high school and Brayden entering the fourth grade. The excitement was evident, with Taylor’s high school debut described as “crazy.

Demonstrating a harmonious co-parenting effort, Heather clarified that she, Tarek, and Christina collaborate diligently to ensure their children smoothly adapt to any changes.

She continued by saying, ‘I think you understand that we’re working through some challenges right now.’ She warned it might be a tough two weeks ahead as everyone is juggling their responsibilities and sports are kicking off, which feels chaotic. But she reassured everyone, ‘We’re all in this together, facing the same hurdles. Let’s support each other during these times.’ And for those starting school today, she wished them good luck.

On her own Instagram Story, Christina posted Heather’s message with the caption “We can handle it.

After school, Christina had some exciting news to share about her sons’ activities. In a subsequent slide, we see Hudson, Christina’s 5-year-old son with ex-husband Ant Anstead, starting off the soccer season with a smile for the camera.

Gushing about the moment, Christina wrote, “And…first day of a new soccer season for both boys.”

On the nearly fortnight mark following Heather and Tarek’s celebration of a significant moment, little ones experienced their initial day, while Tristan tested out preschool as a practice run.

On August 5th, Heather posted on Instagram with pictures of Tristan showing off his dinosaur lunchbox and backpack. She wrote: ‘My heart swells with maternal love for my boy, who visited the most adorable preschool today.’

Though he’s not quite there yet for preschool, she expressed her joy, saying, ‘I am so incredibly proud of him for loving it so much!’ And let me tell you, I feel a great sense of pride in myself too. Mom did great!
