When it comes to bonus moms, Tarek El Moussa’s daughter Taylor thinks she got pretty lucky.
The 10-year-old opens up about her relationship with her dad’s fiancée,Selling Sunsetstar Heather Rae Young, 33, in a clip fromTarek’s Flip Side, a new four-episode miniseries premiering January 4on discovery+.
“When I first met Heather, I felt this bond with her,” Taylor says in the clip exclusive to PEOPLE. “She’s so nice, she does all this kind stuff.”
Tarek, 39, began dating Young shortly after they met on July 4, 2019, andproposed to her this summer. The former model became very involved in Taylor and her five-year-old brother Brayden’s lives right away.

“She’s the best, I love hanging out with her,” Taylor continues of her soon-to-be stepmom. She also jokes that the reality star does everything for her dad — from picking out his clothes every morning to doing his shopping and feeding him.

But thereisone thing Young does that Taylor isn’t a fan of: encouraging Tarek to grow out his facial hair.
“Taylor doesn’t like the beard,” the father of two says with a laugh. “I’ve had this beard for like, four or five months. Heather loves the beard, Taylor hates the beard,” he says, noting that it has been causing “a battle in the house” between the two girls.
“It makes him look old,” Taylor says of the facial hair, also complaining that it “itches” her when she tries to give her dad a kiss.

Being able to film with Taylor is just one reason why Tarek says he “loved the experience” of creatingTarek’s Flip Side, which focuses more on his personal life than his real estate endeavors.
