Former 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' star Monica Garcia has announced that she is expecting her fifth child with her 29-year-old boyfriend. The 40-year-old reality TV personality expressed her shock at the news, revealing that she was on birth control when she discovered her pregnancy during a visit to urgent care for an unrelated issue.
Garcia, who has chosen not to disclose her partner's identity, praised him for being a supportive presence as they prepare for the arrival of their baby. This will be her first child with her current boyfriend, adding to her existing family of four children from a previous marriage.
The 'RHOSLC' alum shares custody of her children with her ex-husband, Mike Fowler, with whom she finalized a divorce in October 2023. The couple had previously reconciled after an initial divorce in 2013. However, in January, Fowler faced legal troubles when he was arrested on charges of domestic violence assault and other related offenses.
Despite the challenges in her personal life, Garcia seems to have found happiness with her new partner, whom she met while filming a snowmobiling scene with fellow cast member Heather Gay. The couple exchanged numbers during the shoot, leading to their current relationship.
