El-Moussa and Young, who stars on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset” and is a luxury real estate agent, first sparked romance rumors in July 2019, almost two years after he split from the mother of his two children, Christina Anstead.

When speaking to American weekly magazine People, El-Moussa said he secretly drove to the bride-to-be’s parents to ask for their daughter’s hand.

Is it me or is Brayden always “winking” when we take a photo . As I write this, I’m watching @heatherraeyoung and the kids play tennis. . I can’t tell you how happy I am with the life I’ve built today. I’ve been through some really dark times and I stop and think about how grateful I am multiple times per day. . You just never know where life is going to lead you. If you would have told me a year ago that I’d be in love and have a family again I probably would have thought you were nuts!!! . Well...you never know what the future holds. But I do know this!!! No matter what, keep fighting for you and never give up hope! What you want is out there, now go find it!! .

And what was the engagement ring like? El-Moussa said he chose an eight carat, colorless, emerald-cut diamond. “The diamond is perfect all the way around, just like Heather,” he told the publication. “I also picked this ring because eight is a lucky number.”
