Christina Hall's kids get a bonus dad in her husband Josh Hall, plus her oldest two get a bonus mom in Heather Rae El Moussa, and the latter is honoring them in the sweetest way.

The Christina on the Coast star shares two kids with ex-husband and former Flip or Flop co-host Tarek El Moussa, daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, eight; the two were together from 2009 to 2018. She also shares son Hudson, four, with ex-husband Ant Anstead, and married her current husband Josh in 2022.

Her ex Tarek has since tied the knot with the Selling Sunset star and welcomed son Tristan earlier this year.

On Monday, Heather took to Instagram and reflected on the fortunes the year has brought her, sharing an adorable photo with her husband, his two kids, and their son.

In the family portrait, the El Moussa bunch are all matching in white tops, with both Taylor – who has little Tristan on her lap – and Brayden looking so tall and grown up next to their dad Tarek and bonus mom Heather.

"I'm truly so thankful for my loves," the television personality wrote in her caption, adding: "Life can be chaotic at times, life can bring stress. But I am so happy that I wake up daily to conquer what the day brings me."

She continued: "I'm learning to balance life as a mama, step mama, wife, work, ME time, my friends," and confessed: "There aren't enough hours in the day some days, but I take things one step at a time & try to stay as organized as I can."
