“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” alum Monica Garcia revealed she’s expecting her fifth child after suffering a miscarriage last year.
Garcia confirmed the news to People on Tuesday and shared several photos from her recent maternity photo shoot with her boyfriend, Braxton Knight.
The adorable snaps showed the Bravo star baring her bump in a black bra and jeans, as Knight held and kissed her tummy.
Garcia, 40, told the outlet that when she learned she was pregnant, she surprised her beau with the news on a Disney trip.
“My best friend, Koa, helped me pull it all off,” she said, explaining her baby is due in April and she got infant Mickey Mouse ears with “‘Aires Baby’ embroidered on them.”
“I distracted Braxton with churros and getting my cotton candy,” Garcia continued. “I told him while we were on Peter Pan, flying over NeverLand.”
The reality star shared she’s been “so sick” throughout her pregnancy and has been vomiting almost daily.
Garcia and Knight are waiting until the baby is born to learn its sex and haven’t chosen a name yet.
“We are really struggling in the name department. Send us all your name suggestions!” she quipped.
The Bravolebrity also reflected on suffering a miscarriage in April 2024, saying it’s been “such an eye opener.”
“It was difficult coming off such a tumultuous whirlwind with ‘RHOSLC’ and all the love and hate I received from all of that,” she said.
“Old friends turned on me, I was iced out by the cast, I lost my job, my relationship with my mother has never recovered, my world was crumbling. Then I had an unexpected pregnancy and miscarriage at 40.”
Garcia claimed “the world chose to spit” on her and “kick” her while she was down, accusing her of lying about her pregnancy and miscarriage.
She starred in “RHOSLC” Season 4, which aired from September 2023 to January 2024.
Garcia also shares children Bri, 19, Jaidyn, 14, West, 8, and Kendall, 7, with her ex-husband, Mike Fowler.
