The Newport Beach Police Department confirmed that unknown suspects broke into the home of reality TV personalities Tarek and Heather El Moussa sometime between June 6 and June 8, 2025, while the couple and their family were on vacation in Mexico. Authorities responded to a report of residential burglary near the Mariners Community after 6 p.m. on June 8. According to police, the suspects entered through the backyard, shattered a rear sliding glass door, and ransacked the primary bedroom closet before fleeing through the backyard and out the front of the property. The couple reported jewelry stolen, with sources familiar with the situation telling TMZ the stolen pieces were very high-value. Heather El Moussa addressed the incident on Instagram Stories, writing that she and Tarek felt 'violated and to be honest really sad,' while confirming that she, Tarek, and their children were safe. No suspects have been identified and the investigation is ongoing.
What's missing
The total estimated value of the stolen jewelry has not been officially disclosed by police or the couple's representatives.
How coverage differed
Fox News and the New York Post framed the story with a sympathetic celebrity-news angle and included background on the couple's family and prior relationships. TMZ, which reported first on the vacation detail and emphasized the high value of the stolen jewelry, took a more tabloid-focused approach, closing with a quip about jewelry insurance.
