Tarek El Moussa, 33, is making headlines again. This time round, the Flip or Flop star is racking up the column inches over his affair with his kids’ former nanny, Alyssa Logan, 23.
But, before you rush to judge, Tarek played things by the book, and didn’t act on his romantic inclinations until AFTER his seven-year-long marriage to wife Christina El Moussa, 34, was firmly over. However, that doesn’t mean he didn’t have feelings way before!
A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that there was an “instant attraction” between the two. So what went wrong, and why was it over before it ever even started? “Tarek and Alyssa weren’t together for long, it only lasted a couple of months—it was a classic rebound romance and burned very bright, very quick before just fizzling out,” the source tells us. “Alyssa started working for Tarek and Christina shortly after Brayden was born, and was employed by them for about six months. There was an instant attraction between Alyssa and Tarek but nothing happened until after he and Christina split. It was a crazy and emotional time for both Chris and Tarek and he didn’t want to add any drama to the situation, plus he’s not the kind of guy that cheats. He’s a good guy and a great father.”
