Tarek El Moussa may have started the new year on the wrong foot.
The 41-year-old real estate investor revealed on Instagram Monday that he injured his pinky toe while attending a jiu-jitsu class with his seven-year-old son Brayden over the weekend.
El Moussa – the father of Brayden and daughter Taylor, 12, with ex-wife Christina Hall, 39 – and expecting a son with wife Heather Rae Young, 35, said the injury came when he first took up martial arts time in years.

“This Saturday was for the boys!!! On Saturday Bray and I had a boy’s day!!’ the Flip or Flop star said in an Instagram post in which he and Brayden posed in a studio wearing matching karate gis.
“It was my first time doing jujitsu in years, but we took a class together and had a blast!” said El Mussa. “Unfortunately my pinky toe got caught on the mat and it’s black and blue so it may or may not be broken… but we moved on!”
The Flipping 101 personality said the family day went on despite the injury to his foot.
“After that I took him and his friends over to Dave & Buster, had lunch and played a few games!” he said. “I’m having so much fun with my little guy, it’s amazing how much he’s changing!”

Young, who can be seen on Selling Sunset, began dating El Moussa in 2019 and the duo wed in October 2021. The couple announced last summer that they were expecting their first child together.
In July, the couple revealed to People that they were pregnant, as a result of having just received in vitro fertilization treatment.
“I think when you least expect it and there’s no stress in your life, the world has just brought us what was meant to be,” she said. “I’m so excited that it happened like this.”
