On Monday, theSelling Sunsetstar posteda pair of snapshotsof herself and husbandTarek El Moussa’s 11-year-old daughter Taylor Reese sporting big smiles as they shared a hug.
“Twinning with my favorite girl in our sweaters 🤍 ready to have a fun shopping day with daddy 🥰,” Young wrote alongside the images on Instagram.
The real estate professional, 34, went on to say that “prioritizing quality time with both” Taylor and her younger brotherBrayden James, 6, “is so important to” her and El Moussa, 40.
“As Tay and Bray get older their interests are changing (Bray wants to spend the whole day looking at sharks and Tay’s starting to get into girly things like shopping and clothes) so wemake sure to set special dayswhere we can do what they like,” Young said. “Just getting to see them smile and get excited makes it more than worth it to us ❤️.”
