RHOSLC the former Monica Garcia is pregnant with baby number 5.
Monica Garcia was a one-season wonder on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And many fans are still wondering if his departure had anything to do with the Reality Von Tease scandal.
Her current partner is a mysterious 29-year-old man. It’s likely he wasn’t expecting this baby either.
Monica is now expecting her fifth child although, she says, she has been on birth control.
Yes, Monica Garcia is pregnant at 40
On Thursday April 11, Monica Garcia was the guest on the show That of Nick Viall The Viall files podcast.
She confirmed that she was pregnant with her fifth child. This will be her first child with her 29-year-old boyfriend, whom she has not publicly identified.
Monica admitted she felt “in shock” by the news, sharing that she had been “on birth control” when she conceived. It’s possible but unusual – and it would absolutely be a shock.
“I literally went to urgent care for something that was unrelated and that I thought wasn’t right,” Monica remembers of how she found out.
“And,” she told Bravolebrity, “the doctor came in and said, ‘You’re pregnant.'”
“I was like, ‘I’m 39! There is no way. I’m on birth control,'” Monica noted. She turned 40 in January. “I definitely shouldn’t be pregnant.”
Monica Garcia is not experiencing this pregnancy alone
During the podcast, Monica praised her unidentified boyfriend for his “amazing” support during her pregnancy.
For Monica, this won’t be new. She is already the mother of four children. Bri is 18, Jaidyn is 13, West is 7, and Kendall is 6.
It is not known if her boyfriend has children. In 2024, a 29-year-old would be young enough to be a father, but it still happens.
In October 2023, Monica finalized her divorce from ex-husband Mike Fowler. At that time, the court awarded him sole legal and physical custody as well as $6,000 per month in child support.
This was her second divorce from Fowler. Their previous divorce took place a decade earlier, in 2013. However, they eventually reconciled. Ultimately, it didn’t last.
In March 2021, authorities arrested Monica’s double ex on charges of domestic violence assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child, and disruption of a communications device. Fowler’s arrest came after he allegedly “slapped (ex-wife Monica Garcia) in the face.”
Luckily, Monica Garcia has moved on
If you needed a reminder of how little our justice system does to protect people from domestic violence, Fowler’s sentence was 12 months in prison. probation and a $1,070 fine. It’s quite dark.
Monica met her current partner while snowmobiling with RHOSLC his comrade Heather Gay. Apparently it was during the filming of the series.
She and her mystery man exchanged numbers together. Now they are going to have a child together. Monica may have been a one-time housewife, but being on the show changed the trajectory of her entire life!
