“Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the ride,” Heather continued. “We got to show them a glimpse behind the scenes — our world, our work, and of course, the glam.”

“Grateful for these moments that we get to spend together,” the “Selling Sunset” alum added.
