The reality TV star continued, "their genuine happy spirit is always the light at the end of the tunnel.May 2017 be a start to a fabulous year ahead and bring happiness, peace, joy and new adventures to you all."
According to the El Moussas, they broke up following a May incident during which law enforcement responded to a call of a "possibly suicidal male with a gun." The call was made after Tarek retrieved a gun from the couple's Orange County, California, home and wandered into Chino Hills State Park.
Tarek told deputies that he headed to the park to "blow off some steam," and that he brought the gun with him as protection against mountain lions and rattlesnakes.
