Tarek El-Moussa gave a personal confession about his kids, who he shares with former Flip or Flop co-host and ex-wife Christina Hall.
The property developer, 42, shared a photo with his daughter Taylor and son Brayden as they went skiing as a family. The trio smiled brightly at the camera with a stunning mountainous view in the background.
Tarek shared his musings on fatherhood after spending time with his son and daughter, pondering the secret to having a great bond with your kids.

According to Tarek, his epiphany was that it isn't easy. "Well…it turns out being a good father is no different than being a good real estate investor, it’s about putting in the work! Do you want to know how to do the above? It’s simple..show up every day and put in the time!"
For Tarek, this means that even when you have a busy week you make time for your children - you might even find it restorative.

The property investor went on to ask other parents for their ideas on how to strengthen their relationship with their kids: "Any parents out there want to share some ideas with other parents on here to help strengthen their relationships with their children?"
Fans were more than happy to oblige, sharing what had worked for them as parents.

And being there after school as they get older!! I was so lucky to raise my boys ! You never get the time back, but you get back a close relationship for life with them!!"
Another added: "I make sure that we all share an activity that we like (skiing). We talk more than spend time on phones, and I know who the kids friends are. The friends is my most critical, because then I know if any are knuckleheads, or more worried about becoming “cool” than a good person."

Since the end of his marriage to Christina in 2018, Tarek has married Selling Sunset's Heather Rae Young. The couple share a son, Tristan.
