She welcomed her first child over two years ago.
Now Selling Sunset alum Heather Rae El Moussa is sharing the secrets behind her svelte post-baby body.
In a video uploaded to her Instagram, the HGTV star showcased her sculpted abs – but assured followers she ‘doesn’t always look like this.’
Heather, clad in a tan sports bra and rolled down pink sweatpants, showcased her defined torso as the toddler she shares with husband Tarek El Moussa, Tristan, padded about in the background amongst his toys.
Soundtracked to the infamous ‘I’m a mommy’ quip from Love Island, Heather, 37, swayed her hips from side to side.
In the caption, Heather opened up about how becoming a mom changed her fixation with dieting and working out.

‘Ladies I want to say I don’t always look like this. Some days I’m bloated AF & feel like I’m carrying extra weight… Some days I feel lean and toned. I fluctuate mentally and physically,’ she said.
‘I use to be addicted to working out, I did mainly cardio and had NO carbs, like zero. Then I had Tristan and my whole mentality shifted.
‘As a mom my priorities are different.
‘Now I workout when I can (normally 3-4 days a week.) I listen to my body. If I’m not feeling 100%, I rest and focus on healing. I struggled (still do) with a thyroid disease. I’ve added in the correct supplements, and a night time wind-down routine to calm my body so I wake up in the AM feeling my best to conquer, or try to conquer, another day.
‘My point is, I listen to MY body I do what makes ME feel good. Remember a new day is a new start!’
She compiled a list of supplements, workouts, and other products that have helped her feeling ‘good’, which included magnesium water, detox capsules by celebrity trainer Paulina Hefferan, weight lifting, and measures for quality sleep.
Heather and Tarek welcomed baby Tristan in January 2023, less than two years after tying the knot at the Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel in Montecito.
In addition to little Tristan, Tarek also shares daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, nine, with his first wife Christina Haack.

Christina and Tarek shot to fame together on the HGTV home renovation program Flip Or Flop, which they continued hosting even after their split.
The exes are now amicable in the years since their split and recently joined forces again, competing against one another in the HGTV show The Flip Off alongside Heather.
While things are all peaceful on the personal front, recently Tarek was embroiled in legal woes following a scuffle with another man in Sin City.
Earlier this month Tarek was arrested in Las Vegas following an altercation at The Palazzo at the Venetian hotel.
According to reports, the incident began when a man allegedly bumped into El Moussa’s father and made a comment, prompting El Moussa to allegedly assault him.
The Real Estate Elevated co-founder could face charges in connection with the incident.
