The 'Selling Sunset' star welcomed her first child with husband Tarek El Moussa on Jan. 31.

And his name is....

Heather Rae El Moussa and Tarek El Moussa have officially revealed the name of their new baby boy, whom they welcomed late last month.

In an interview with Us Weekly, the reality stars disclosed the adorable new moniker: Tristan Jay El Moussa, which apparently has a lot of family meaning behind it.

"Tarek was supposed to be named Tristan, and his parents ended up naming him Tarek. And then my dad's middle name is Jay. So it's four generations of the middle name Jay," the Selling Sunset star gushed.

The pair–who tied the knot in 2021—welcomed Tristan on Jan. 31, which apparently was a few days later than they expected.

"He was supposed to be born on the 27th of January, and he was born on the 31st of January. And so Tarek and I went in for kind of, like, my final doctor appointment [on the 30th],” Heather told the outlet. “That was just an appointment. And we did a stress test. I’m 35 years old, so we had done a stress test on him almost every time I went for the last few weeks. And at that point, he wasn’t moving as much as he usually did.”

After finding out that the baby's movement had decreased, Heather was rushed to the hospital. “Tarek and I were like, ‘Wait, what do you mean right now?’ And I said, ‘Can I go home and grab my hospital bag that I’ve been prepping for months now and can I go home and wash my hair?’" she recalled. "Like, I hadn’t washed my hair in four days ’cause I didn’t think I was gonna be going to the hospital after this appointment. And she said, ‘No, you can’t. You need to get monitored."

Tarek then helped his wife get "settled" before going to retrieve her hospital bag, and she was later induced to get her labor moving, which ended up progressing quicker than they thought.

“[She] started pushing with a nurse before the doctor was there, you know, thinking it was gonna take a long time. And then the nurse is like, ‘OK, stop pushing,'” Tarek recalled. “I thought we were gonna end up going [an] emergency C-section because his heart rate was dropping. And…the doctor told Heather, ‘Give one last big push, give everything you have, let’s see if we can make it happen.’ And she did.”

"All the blood vessels in her face broke and her chest broke. And our son came out," the Flip or Flop alum added, calling the whole experience "such a beautiful thing."

While Heather is already used to being a stepmom to Tarek's children Taylor, 12 and Brayden, 7, with ex-wife Christina Hall, she said carrying her own baby is a whole new experience. "Having my own and carrying him and then going through the labor…it’s just such a beautiful thing that the female body can do."
