El Moussa popped the big question to Young back in July 2020, while the couple was on a boat trip to Catalina Island as a celebration of their one-year anniversary. “I don’t even remember asking her the question. I don’t even remember her saying yes. I was pretty nervous,” he confessed, while speaking with ET. “She has completely changed my world, you know. I say it all the time, especially on my social media.”
The reality star went on to say, “I was a different person, living a different life and the day she walked into my life, my life changed for the better, and I’m thriving and the kids are thriving. And honestly, I owe most of it to her. She’s been my best friend, my ally.” Young then added, “God, I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to marry him. … I was scared when I first met him. I’d gone through awful relationships and when I met him [everything changed].”
Ahead of their wedding, Young recently revealed if she and El Moussa plan to ever have children together in the future. During a recent interview with E! Daily Pop, 33-year-old Young addressed the idea of having kids with El Moussa. “We actually talked about this, because I’m turning 34 this year, which isn’t old obviously, but I already feel like I have two kids,” she said.
The children she refers to are El Moussa’s kids he shares with ex Christina Haack: daughter Taylor, 10, and son Brayden, 5. “I’m raising Tarek’s babies, and we have them 50 percent of the time,” Young said. “I am such a good bonus mommy. I adore those kids. I raise them like they’re mine. I wouldn’t be able to do it any other way.” Young then clarified that she isn’t necessarily saying never, just not at the moment. “Right now, our household is freakin’ crazy. I’m filming TV shows, I’m raising kids, I’m building businesses,” she said. “So right now, no.”
