Heather Rae El Moussa is addressing all of the backlash surrounding her Valentine’s Day post.

On Wednesday (February 14), the 36-year-old former Selling Sunset star posted a tribute to husband Tarek El Moussa, their 1-year-old son Tristan, and Tarek‘s 8-year-old son Brayden.

“Happy Valentine’s day to my boys T, T & B ❤️👼🏻 I have never felt so much love in my life,” Heather wrote on Instagram. “All 3 keep me on my toes but I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“I am so thankful to have you as my husband my best friend and my partner @therealtarekelmoussa,” Heather added. “You are my person, and the best daddy I could’ve ever asked for. I love you very much honey and I love you Tristan and Bray❤️”

After sharing the post, fans were quick to call out Heather for not including Tarek‘s 13-year-old daughter Taylor.

The following day, Heather took to her Instagram Story to address the backlash.
