Heather Rae Young says her “heroic” husband, Tarek El Moussa, stopped an altercation on an airplane during their “travel day from hell.”
“My husband did something very heroic when a man went crazy on our flight and verbally attacked and physically got in flight attendants’ and pilots’ faces,” the newly pregnant “Selling Sunset” star, 34, wrote to her followers late Monday, ending a series of unfortunate Instagram Stories.
“My husband was a hero today,” Young said in the selfie-style video, prompting El Moussa — who was lying next to her in bed in a dark hotel room — to let out a bashful, “Oh, geez! Oh, my gosh.”
Young promised she would elaborate on the enticing story at a later time because she was “too tired” following the couple’s “long day.” They experienced nine hours worth of delays, three gate changes and an eventual cancelation – all of which the real estate agents-turned-reality stars documented via their respective Instagram accounts.
Young and El Moussa, 40, began their “travel Armageddon” at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, early Monday with a two-hour line at security followed by a two-hour delay once they were seated on their plane.
El Moussa said they were heading to Los Angeles International Airport in California, noting that there were “no other flights out.”
“And I gotta film in the morning,” the “Flip or Flop” star added.
Shortly after, the pair were forced to “deplane” because it wasn’t “operating” correctly, so they parked themselves at an “Asian-fusion restaurant” inside the airport.
“OK, so we ran into some bad luck,” Young explained, though both she and the HGTV star agreed their situation was better than staying on an aircraft whose engine “was having problems.”
“We don’t know when we’re taking off,” the Netflix star added. “I’m starving. I’m pregnant. I need my food!”
Three hours later, the two were “still waiting” — until their gate changed for a third time.
“It’s mayhem here,” El Moussa said in a video showing him, Young and a large group of people moving through the noisy terminal. “There’s alarms going off. There was a fist fight.”
The next slide showed the couple slumped in chairs at their new gate as sirens continued to blare and babies were heard crying in the background.
“We still haven’t left yet,” the house-flipper lamented before panning over to show his exhausted wife sitting next to him. “Nine-hour delay now, [and] another alarm. This is the travel day from hell, everybody. From hell!”
An hour later, he and Young — who began dating in July 2019 and got married in October 2021 — announced they had finally “made the plane!”
Unfortunately, by that time, their pilot “timed out,” so they had to “get off the plane” once again.
“We’re still in New York City. We’re at baggage claim. And we’re gonna do this all over again tomorrow,” a defeated El Moussa shared.
The “last Instagram of the night” showed the tired twosome in their hotel bed. “What can go wrong will go wrong,” El Moussa said, as Young added that neither had ever experienced a flight cancelation before.
El Moussa shares 11-year-old daughter Taylor and 6-year-old son Brayden with ex-wife Christina Haack.
