“Such a strong boy after his tongue tie revision,” El Moussa, 35, wrote Tuesday over an adorable shot of 4-month-old Tristan Jay on an Instagram Story. “Getting lots of snuggles.”
In the shot, the toddler, who she shares with her husbandTarek El Moussa, wore a colorful onesie with a lime green bib, holding what appears to be a chew stick.
Tongue tie — a.k.a. ankyloglossia — “is a condition present at birth that restricts the tongue’s range of motion,” according to theMayo Clinic. It can therefore hamper breastfeeding, which is something El Moussahas been vocal about on social media.
Announcing Tuesday that Tristan is thankfully on the mend, theSelling Sunsetstar posted other family updates in a series of posts, including a milestone with one of her step-children.
“We are so proud of this girl graduating 6th grade,” she wrote on a blended family photo of Tarek, 41, with his oldest daughter Taylor, 12, ex-wifeChristina Halland her husband Josh Hall.
Tarek also shares son Brayden, 7, with his formerFlip or Flopcostar, 39.
El Moussa, who welcomed Tristan on January 31, spoke to PEOPLE about getting pregnant with her son in July 2022
“It was a huge shock,” she shared, adding that she and Tarek were in the middle ofin vitro fertilizationtreatments when they learned they were pregnant.
“We just weren’t expecting this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan.”
