“I did it as something special for my fiancé, my future husband,” Young said in defense of the tattoo (per Page Six). “I will be Mrs. El Moussa, so this is my name. And it’s a special thing that we do around the house: Daddy is the boss, I’m the queen of the house. We do it with the kids … It’s something cute we do around the house.”
The couple explained that Tarek’s two children with his ex-wife, Christina Haack, frequently say “Yes sir, Mr. El Moussa” and “Yes sir, daddy” at home.
