Heather Rae El Moussa is glad this chapter of her life has sunset.
The Selling Sunset alum recently reflected on her six seasons on the Netflix series and suggested that, ultimately, not being asked back for season seven—which began filming shortly after she gave birth to her and Tarek El Moussa's son Tristan in January 2023—was for the best.
"On the show, I was pretty much level-headed the whole time," Heather said on the said on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast April 3. "I was kind of friends with everyone, I kept things pretty chill in my life. But it's very toxic—you're around a bunch of women, everyone wants to be stars on the show, and number one, and they'll kind of do anything."
But while she said the first seasons were fun, things changed as the show grew in popularity. "It just got worse and worse," the 36-year-old said of the onscreen drama. "They started adding more girls, it just became out of control. There'd be days I came home crying from the stress of filming."
Another aspect that was tough on Heather—who is also stepmom to Tarek and his ex Christina Hall's kids Taylor, 13, and Brayden, 8—was the intense film schedule.
"I never knew when I was going to be filming," she explained. "'It was last minute, it took over my life. It was hard to do my real job—real estate. It was hard to do anything else."
She added of her family, "I was away from [Tarek] all the time, I was away from our kids all the time. I'd be gone for like 12 to 14 hours, it was crazy. They just want more and more and more."
E! News has reached out to Netflix for comment but has not yet heard back.
These days, Heather is much happier working alongside Tarek—with whom she tied the knot in 2021—on their HGTV show The Flipping El Moussas, which premiered in 2023. And despite any prior hard feelings of her exit from the show—which Heather described as "frustrating" at the time—she's happy with the way things have ultimately shaken out.
"It was a blessing that I wasn't asked to come back," Heather reflected. "Because I'm so much happier filming my show with Tarek. We're co-producers on our show so we pick the hours."
While Heather enjoys being able to spend more time with her loved ones at home, keep reading to see updates on the love lives of her former Selling Sunset costars.
Jason was on the market for a while before sparking romance rumors with tennis player Genie Bouchard in January 2024, though it's unclear where they stand.
The Oppenheim Group owner previously dated real estate agent Chrishell Stause for seven months but they broke up because, as she put it, "our ideas for family" were ultimately not "aligned."
He also dated model Marie Lou Nurk for 10 months before their split in May 2023.
Chrishell married nonbinary musician G Flip in May 2023.
In a May 2022 Instagram video, Chrishell opened up about her relationship with the 27-year-old. "I am attracted to masculine energy and I don't really care about what the physical form is," she explained. "With G, they identify as nonbinary. They really feel like they are a mix. They identify on both sides of male and female. I personally find [it] such a beautiful mix and it's probably why we did connect on such a deep level so quick."
Brett sparked romance rumors with tattoo artist Samantha Abdul in 2022, after dating Australian model Tina Louise.
Though we caught a glimpse of their relationship in season five, the duo went public with their romance in April 2021 but broke up in December.

Then one day Heather jumped onto my boat, looked at me, smiled and the rest is history. Thank god for that day."
The two welcomed their first baby together in February 2023.
