Heather Rae Young’s Stepdaughter Taylor Missing in ‘Whole Family’ Photo

Fans were wondering why Heather Rae Young was so happy to be with her “whole family” in the photo where her stepdaughter, Taylor El Moussa, was missing.

“Selling Sunset” alum. shared some sweet snaps features her and her husband, Tarek El Moussa, spending time at the beach with their 15-month-old son Tristan and 8-year-old stepson Brayden.

Two boys and their dad matched each other Navy blue Psycho Bunny short sleeve T-shirts with light blue collars and buttons. Young also wore a pink short-sleeved T-shirt from the same brand.

“We are so grateful for your love and your endless devotion as a father. You are dedicated, loving and we hope you know that you are simply the best. We love you beyond words, daddy 🐻 🤍 We start Father’s Day early with the whole family dressed in @psychobunny #bestdaddy,” she captioned the photos on Tuesday.

Shortly after the precious photos were posted, fans wondered why Young, 36, used the phrase “the whole family” when Taylor was not in the photos.

“‘The Whole Family’”…where is Tay?” someone asked.

“It’s not very nice that you say ‘the whole family’ when their sister isn’t in the photo,” another user wrote.

“Nice photo, but who says ‘whole family’ when Taylor is missing? I thought Tay was in high school…..not her stepmother?” someone else wondered.

“well…not the whole family…maybe they’d like to edit the mom,” one person commented.

“Cute, but without Taylor it would be more appropriate to only have boys. It’s just my opinion,” someone suggested.

However, others pointed out that Taylor is a teenager who may want more privacy or not want to take as many photos.

“I miss seeing Tay but I respect her privacy/wants,” someone wrote.

“Living with a teenager? They don’t like family photos and everything is an argument or negotiation. Let’s not forget about the constant eye rolling. 🙄,” another person noted.

“Why do the photo police always demand to know why everyone they expect to see is or isn’t in YOUR photos? How annoying. I’m sorry @theheatherraeelmoussa you have to deal with such nonsense. You just share beautiful moments from life. Thank you for sharing. ❤️,” added someone else.

“People are acting like Heather and Taylor aren’t very supportive of each other… portraying Heather as someone who pushes Taylor out is just mean, especially towards Taylor,” another user added.

Young’s rep did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment, but Tarek responded to one of the comments and said, “He mostly doesn’t like to be in pictures. I respect her will.”

Young previously faced heavy criticism from fans regarding her family after she posted a Valentine’s Day tribute to Brayden, Tristan and Tarek, but not Taylor.

Shortly after, Young posted a photo of herself hugging her stepdaughter and wrote, “We close our ears to pettiness. We only strive for a positive attitude. My girlfriend knows she’s my No. 1 girlfriend.”

The Flipping El Moussas star was also previously explained Today.com that Taylor is in a phase where she’s more picky about her photos.

“She’s a teenager now and she’ll say, ‘I don’t like my hair in this picture.’ Please don’t post this,” she said in June 2023.

Young and Tarek, 42, have been married since October 2021 and welcomed Brayden in January 2023.

Tarek was previously married to his Flip or Flop co-star Christina Hall, and since their divorce in 2018, the two have continued to co-parent Taylor and Brayden.
