Netflix Selling Sunset star is actually former Playboy playmate

The agent said it 'catapulted her career' before she starred in Selling Sunset

Before ending up on Netflix's hugely successful show, Selling Sunset, one of The Oppenheim Group agents was actually a Playboy playmate.

Yep, Heather Rae Young, 36, once ended up at the Playboy mansion, explaining that it was 'every girl's dream' to visit.

"I freaked because I think it’s every girl’s dream to go to the Mansion and see what it’s like," she previously told Playboy.com.

After visiting the mansion, Heather ended up posing as the centrefold for Miss February back in 2010.

And speaking about the moment years on, Young says it 'catapulted her career' and went on to completely change her life.

"It was the most defining moment in my life," she told The Sun.

“Modelling and acting transitioned me into real estate. I’ve met a lot of contacts through my modelling/acting career — a lot of wealthy people, celebrities.

“I channelled that into real estate and using my contacts. I sold over nine million dollars’ worth of real estate within my first four months.

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done. I’m proud of my life. Everything I’ve done has got me to where I am today.”

Before she was catapulted to success on Selling Sunset, Heather had small movie roles in films including The Internship and Malibu Horror Story.

The agent has mentioned her previous career on the show and some fans were baffled when they realised.

In fact, many fans of the series didn't even learn about Heather's Playboy history until they spotted her in a throwback episode of Hell's Kitchen.

"She’s pretty proud and open about it, I love that about Heather," commented one fan.

"I only knew because I believe she shortly mentioned it in Season 1 or 2," wrote a second.

More recently, Heather - who married Tarek El Moussa in 2021 - became a mum after welcoming her son, Tristan Jay last year.

The little one's arrival is particularly poignant for Young, as she'd previously spoke about her struggle to conceive and received IVF treatment before becoming pregnant.

Young even shared her story on social media, explaining to followers: “Our baby is a miracle baby - the odds were definitely against us but all that matters is that it happened… I just can't wait to hold her/him in my arms."

Heather also co-parents her husband’s two children, Taylor, 12, and Brayden, seven, from his previous marriage.
