Reality star Heather, 34, and her 40-year-old husband Tarek said the pregnancy was a "huge shock" as the couple were in the middle of IVF and had scheduled a date for the embryo to be implanted when they discovered the news.
Heather explained to People: "It was a huge shock.
"We just weren't expecting this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan.
"I think when you least expect it and there's no stress in your life, the world just brought us what was meant to be. I'm so excited that it happened like this."
Heather and Tarek began dating in 2019, following TV star Tarek's divorce from Christina Haack in 2018. Tarek and Christina were married from 2009 until 2018.
They tied the knot last autumn, in romantic scenes which they opted not to let Selling Sunset cover – but the build up to the big day was documented on the Netflix show.
The couple's wedding was aired in a special, Tarek & Heather The Big I Do, for HGTV – the network where Tarek's show Flip or Flop is aired.

One scene tied to Heather's wedding that was shown on Selling Sunset was her bridal shower, during which Christine Quinn sent her a giant floral display to apologise for their fallout.
The gesture didn't go down well with the Selling Sunset ladies as Maya Vander said: "I get that Christine wanted to make some sort of impact and make peace with Heather... did I think it was appropriate to send those huge flowers that basically took the whole parking lot? Probably not. She could have sent something smaller."
While Amanza Smith added: "She knows exactly what she's doing, and that gift was to make her presence known."
Selling Sunset newbie Emma Hernan branded the gift "inappropriate" and said the star was "trying to steal" Heather's special day.
Christine, 33, has since quit the Netflix series and has since turned over a new leaf, telling Daily Mail: "I feel like I'm entering a new chapter of another era of fashion and killed off my character from Selling Sunset. RIP. She was fierce, she was a boss b***h, but now I'm ready to bury her."
