Tarek El Moussa had a brush with the law during a recent family trip to Las Vegas.
The "Flip or Flop" alum, 43, received a citation for battery June 5 after police responded to an incident in the "3300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard," during which two men "were involved in a physical altercation," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY in an email June 10.
El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, who's costarred with the real estate investor on the series "The Flipping El Moussas" and "The Flip Off," shared a celebratory video montage of their Vegas trip on social media June 6. The post did not address Tarek's altercation or police citation the previous day.
The compilation clip featured lively snippets of the El Moussa clan's visit to Sin City, including outfit reveals, preparation for El Moussa's keynote speaker gig and a theatrical live show.
"Not our average Vegas trip… ," Heather Rae El Moussa wrote. "Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the ride. We got to show them a glimpse behind the scenes — our world, our work, and of course, the glam."
She added: "Grateful for these moments that we get to spend together. "
Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa have been married since October 2021. In January 2023, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Tristan. Tarek is also father to daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, from his previous marriage to HGTV host Christina Haack.
