Salt Lake City, Utah – Former “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Monica Garcia has announced that she is expecting her fifth child, much to her surprise. This will be her first child with her 29-year-old boyfriend, whose identity she has chosen not to disclose.
Garcia expressed her shock at the unexpected pregnancy, mentioning that she was using birth control when she found out the news. She shared the exciting update with listeners on the “Viall File” podcast, detailing how she initially thought she was dealing with an unrelated medical issue when she received the surprising news of her pregnancy.
Despite her initial disbelief, Garcia praised her boyfriend for being incredibly supportive as they await the arrival of their first child together. The reality TV personality, who already has four daughters from her previous marriage, is looking forward to expanding her family.
Having been a cast member on the “RHOSLC” for a single season, Garcia has been navigating challenges in her personal life, including a divorce from her ex-husband Mike Fowler. Following their divorce in 2013, the couple reconciled before finalizing their separation in October 2023, with Garcia being awarded sole legal and physical custody of their children.
In a recent turn of events, Fowler faced legal issues after being arrested on charges of domestic violence assault. Despite these challenges, Garcia is focusing on the positive aspects of her life, including the anticipation of welcoming her fifth child with her current partner, whom she met during a snowmobiling scene while filming the reality show with fellow cast member Heather Gay.
As she embarks on this new journey of motherhood, Garcia remains grateful for the support of her loved ones and looks forward to the future with optimism.
