The couple were in the middle of in vitro fertilization treatments and had even scheduled a date to transfer an embryo next fall when they got a happy surprise a few weeks prior.
“It was a huge shock,” said Heather. “We just weren’t expecting this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan.” But after the disbelief wore off, theSelling Sunsetstar was elated. “I think when you least expect it and there’s no stress in your life, the world just brought us what was meant to be. I’m so excited that it happened like this.”

They’re such incredible kids and I love them so much," Heather told PEOPLE. “But as your love grows more and more and you fall deeper in love with someone and you build this life together, I started picturing myself having a child with Tarek. I started thinking I just wanted to create something with the man that I’m in love with.”
