Tarek El Moussa posts about ‘mistakes’ after Las Vegas battery citation

HGTV star Tarek El Moussa is celebrating a family milestone after he was cited for battery following an altercation in Las Vegas. 

The “Flip or Flop” alum, 43, took to social media to share a heartfelt message dedicated to his daughter, Taylor, as she heads into high school. 

“Taylor we are so proud of you and so excited for you to head into the next stage of your life. Our beautiful, smart, incredible, bright light we all love and adore you,” Tarek wrote in a joint Instagram post with ex-wife Christina Haack and current wife Heather Rae El Moussa.

The social media post was accompanied by two family photos, the first with Tarek hugging his two children with Christina and Heather in the frame. The second photo was a larger family photo.

“We hope all the mistakes you’ve watched us make throughout your life help to guide you to a brighter future…. love you baby. High school here we come!!!” the post concluded.

It was unclear what “mistakes” the caption was referring to.

Reps for Tarek, Heather and Christina did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The sweet family photo comes after the “Flipping 101” star was involved in a physical fight in Las Vegas that led to a citation for battery.

Fox News Digital can confirm that the reality star was not arrested and only cited by authorities after the incident. He allegedly got into the heated encounter to defend his elderly father.

For him, the most frightening part wasn’t just the cancer itself; it was the fear of not being there for his family, particularly his then-baby girl, Taylor – who he praised in his recent social media post.

“The scariest part for me was not knowing if I was going to live or die, because at the time I was young, I had a family, I have my daughter, Taylor, and the scariest thing was not knowing if I would be around to raise my baby.”
