Selling Sunset is bringing back a few familiar faces for season 10 — but will Heather Rae El Moussa be one of them?
A source exclusively tells Luxury Handbag Shopping that Heather, 38, will be back for the upcoming season after exiting the show in 2023.
Luxury Handbag Shopping has reached out to Netflix and a representative for Heather for comment.
News of Heather’s return to the Los Angeles-based series comes shortly after Us exclusively confirmed that Christine Quinn is coming back to the show after a nearly four-year hiatus. (Christine, 37, exited the show in 2022, with her final episode airing that April.)
An insider previously told Us that the cast for season 10 was already “supposed to start filming,” but production has been “delayed because they are waiting for [Christine] to finish negotiations.”
In addition to Heather and Christine making their respective returns, the show will see several exits, including Chrishell Stause, Nicole Young and Chelsea Lazkani, according to the source.
Chrishell, 44, previously commented on her departure in November 2025, telling Bustle, “It’s no longer good for my mental health.”
Alongside Heather and Christine, fans will meet a new real estate agent, Tara Sarbaz, with an insider telling Us earlier this month that she will be “full-time and has worked with Jason [Oppenheim] before.”
As fans of Selling Sunset know, both Heather and Christine were part of the original cast when it debuted in 2019.
They starred alongside Chrishell, Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet, Maya Vander and Davina Potratz while working at L.A.’s Oppenheim Group, which is owned by twin brothers Jason and Brett Oppenheim.
Going into season 10, only Mary, 45, remains part of the original cast, but she teased in January that she too could exit the show depending on “the dynamic in the office.”
“It depends on the level of toxicity that they’re allowing,” Mary said during an appearance on the “Casual Chaos” podcast.
Heather, for her part, confirmed her initial departure from Selling Sunset in November 2023 after appearing on the season 7 premiere and then being MIA the rest of the season.
“Everything happens how it’s meant to 🤍….. And we all have a plan,” Heather wrote via Instagram at the time. “It’s bittersweet to not be a part of SS anymore. But I do know that good or bad I wouldn’t change the experiences I had.”
The following year, Heather opened up about leaving the reality series, noting it changed a lot from season 1 to season 7.
“In the beginning it was just all fun, not crazy drama. We were all friends. Any drama was just simple,” she recalled during an April 2024 appearance on “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast” podcast. “Then it just got worse and worse and worse. They started adding in more girls. It just became out of control.”
Heather noted that the filming schedule, which could span 12 to 14 hours some days, was also “pretty brutal.”
“They just want more and more and more, and you saw me on the show,” she said. “I pretty much was levelheaded almost the whole time. I was kind of friends with everyone, and I kept things pretty chill in my life.”
Heather concluded: “Yeah, it’s very toxic. You’re around a bunch of women that everyone wants to be stars on the show, No. 1. And they’ll kind of do anything.”
Despite the downside she experienced, Heather did return for a cameo on the show during season 9 in 2025.
Her brief appearance came after Heather made a name for herself on HGTV while starring on The Flipping El Moussas with her husband, Tarek El Moussa. She also costarred on The Flip Off with Tarek, 44, and his ex-wife, Christina Haack, in 2025.
Selling Sunset is streaming on Netflix.
