"If I hadn’t posed for Playboy, I wouldn’t have met the people who led me to where I am now.”
She said her time working for the outlet gave her the opportunity to become comfortable in front of crowds and a camera, which helped her while filming the reality show Selling Sunset.
Meeting fans as a Playmate prepped me for the fans I have now, from the show,” she told the outlet.
“I talk to everyone. I take photos with everyone. It has changed my life.”

After leaving Playboy, Heather branched off into real estate, something she said was a natural next step after the contact she'd made while working for the magazine.
“I studied my ass off, I passed the test, and then within my first three months of doing real estate, I sold a $7.2 million house and a $1.5 million condo,” she said.
In 2014, Heather joined the Oppenheim Group, a real estate company that focuses on the Los Angeles area, including the Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Bel Air, and Malibu.
Heather has also had small acting roles in The Internship, Love in the Time of Monsters, and Malibu Horror Story.
Her HGTV reality series Selling Sunset aired in March 2019 and Heather told the outlet: "[The show] is supposed to be about women's empowerment."
She added that her role on Selling Sunset makes a statement and shows "you can be a pretty woman and still be successful and not just arm candy for a man.”
When did Heather Rae El Moussa and Tarek El Moussa get married?

Tarek had been married once before to Christina Anstead and hadn't anticipated getting remarried.

"If you had asked me four years ago, I would’ve told you I was never getting married again, and honestly, I didn’t even think I would find love,” he posted on ahead of their nuptials.
“Then one day Heather jumped onto my boat, looked at me, smiled, and the rest is history.”
They got married on October 23, 2021, and during the ceremony, they spoke to Tarek's children, Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 6.
“These kids are truly our everything, so we decided to say our vows first to the kids and second to each other,” Heather .
“This is just a tiny portion of what I said to the kids but I truly meant every word."
In her vows, she said, "When your daddy and I decided to be fully committed, I was 100% committing myself to you, too. I am beyond honored to be your *bonus* mommy.
"Thank you for allowing me to love your daddy with all my heart. I love you both more than you will ever know.”
