Fans questioned why Heather Rae Young gushed about being with her “whole family” in a pic where her stepdaughter, Taylor El Moussa, was missing.
The “Selling Sunset” alum shared some sweet snaps of her and her husband, Tarek El Moussa, hanging out on the beach with their 15-month-old son, Tristan, and her 8-year-old stepson, Brayden.
The two boys and their dad matched in Psycho Bunny navy short-sleeve shirts with light blue collars and buttons. Young also wore a short-sleeve pink T-shirt from the same brand.
“We are so grateful for you my love, and your endless devotion as a father. You are dedicated, loving and we hope that you know you’re simply the best. We love you beyond words daddy 🐻 🤍 Starting Father’s Day early with the whole family dressed in @psychobunny #bestdaddy,” she captioned the photos on Tuesday.
Shortly after posting the precious pictures, fans wondered why Young, 36, used the phrase “whole family” when Taylor wasn’t in the photos.
“’The whole family’”… where’s Tay?” someone asked.
“Not very nice for you to say ‘the whole family’ when their sister is missing from the pic,” another user wrote.
“Pretty pic, but who says ‘whole family’ when Taylor is missing? I thought Tay was in high school….. not her step mom?” someone else wondered.
“well.. not the whole family.. might wanna edit mama,” one person commented.
“Cute but without Taylor , it would have been more appropriate to only have the boys. 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 pictures.

“Miss seeing Tay but respecting her privacy/wants,” someone wrote.
“living with a teenager? They don’t like family photos and everything is an argument or a negotiation. Let’s not forget about the constant eye rolling. 🙄,” another person pointed out.
“Why are the photo police always demanding to know why everyone they expect to see, are or are not in YOUR photos? How annoying. Sorry @theheatherraeelmoussa that you have to deal with such nonsense. You’re just sharing beautiful life moments. Thank you for sharing. ❤️,” someone else added.
“People act as if heather and Taylor aren’t super supportive of each other… painting heather as someone who’s pushing out Taylor is just mean, especially to Taylor,” another user shared.
A rep for Young didn’t respond to ’s request for comment, but Tarek did respond to one of the comments and said, “most times she does not like being in photos. I respect her wishes.”

Young has previously faced backlash from fans over her family after she posted a Valentine’s Day tribute to Brayden, Tristan and Tarek, but not Taylor.
Shortly afterward, Young posted a photo hugging her stepdaughter and wrote, “We close our ears to the pettiness. We strive for positivity only. My girl knows she’s my #1 gal.”
The “The Flipping El Moussas” star also previously explained to Today.com that Taylor is in the phase where she’s pickier about photos of herself.
“She’s a teenager now and she’ll be like, ‘I don’t love my hair in that picture. Please don’t post that one,’” 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 the two have continued co-parenting Taylor and Brayden since their divorce in 2018.
