A few weeks ago, Tarek and Heather were publicly ridiculed after not including Taylor in several posts that included both her brothers. Fans began speculating about the reasons behind Taylor’s absence, but Heather quickly addressed the matter.
“We close our ears to the pettiness. We strive for positivity only. My girl knows she’s my #1 gal,” Heather wrote via her Instagram Story, sharing a sweet moment of her hugging Taylor.
"My stepdaughter Taylor, she's almost 14. She does not like to be in any photos, any videos right now, so that's why you guys don't see her often on anything. So we respect her wishes," she fired back.
