Fox News Digital can confirm that the reality star, 43, was not arrested and only cited by authorities after the incident. He allegedly got into the heated encounter to defend his elderly father.

"On June 5, 2025, officers responded to a battery incident in the 3300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard," the Las Vegas Metro Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital.

"We got to show them a glimpse behind the scenes - our world, our work, and of course, the glam. Grateful for these moments that we get to spend together."

El Moussa and Heather tied the knot in 2021. 

The real estate expert previously opened up to Fox News Digital about his personal struggles during his life-altering health journey.

The "Flipping 101" star faced the terrifying reality of battling not one but two different types of cancer in his early 30s.

"Man, cancer is a scary word. And when you're facing cancer, you know there's always that potential of death," said El Moussa.

"And when you're staring death in the face, it makes you really, really realize what life is about, what you should be grateful for."

For El Moussa, the most frightening part wasn't just the cancer itself; it was the fear of not being there for his family, particularly his then-baby girl.

"The scariest part for me was not knowing if I was going to live or die, because at the time I was young, I had a family, I have my daughter, Taylor, and the scariest thing was not knowing if I would be around to raise my baby."

In 2013, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which was discovered after a fan noticed a lump on his neck during one of his shows and suggested he see a doctor. Soon after, he was also diagnosed with testicular cancer.

The "Flip or Flop" star announced he was cancer-free in 2019.
