She said El Moussa’s children have been “supportive” and “sweet.” “The most fun part of it all is how sweet and supportive Tay and Bray have been. They try to guess the gender and are having so much fun coming up with names,” Young wrote. “And it’s so cute, Bray comes up to me every day we have the kids and says ‘how big is your baby today’ And he’ll put his ear to my belly and say ‘I can hear the baby’ ?

On Sept. 19, El Moussa shared an Instagram post revealing that his 11-year-old daughter Taylor guessed that Young was pregnant before they told her.  

“We wanted Tay and Bray to be the first people who we told- we really wanted them to feel special so we were planning a surprise but the funny thing about plans is that they don’t always go the way you want them to!” the Flip or Flop star captioned a family photo. “Heather had just told me about pregnancy and later that night we were tucking the kids into bed like we always do and Tay looked up at us and told us that if Heather gets pregnant she better be the first to know and she wants to know right away otherwise we’re in biggggg trouble so Heather and I gave each other a look and told Tay that night ?.”

El Moussa said they still got to surprise the rest of their family members. “Tay’s a little stinker and blew our surprise ? so we decided to surprise Bray Bray and our parents instead!” he wrote. “We went up to the cabin where Heather grew up and told them all together- the emotions were real and for a while it was just our little secret as a family ❤️.”
