RHOSLC’s Monica Garcia Is Pregnant With 5th Baby After Miscarriage

Monica Garcia is pregnant with her fifth baby — her first with boyfriend Braxton Knight.

“It was difficult coming off such a tumultuous whirlwind with RHOSLC and all the love and hate I received from all of that,” she told People on Tuesday, March 4. “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. The entire time I was going through all of that, the world chose to spit on me and continue to kick me while I was down. The accusations of me lying about a pregnancy and miscarriage that I received daily while dealing with such an unexpected loss was a pain that I will never forget. I was losing a baby while being shredded apart by some of the most awful comments I’ve ever had said to and about me.”

Garcia told the outlet that she’s due next month.

“God has been there for me every single step of the way,” she said. “I have been so blessed and been silent about all of it. I just hope someone reads this and it resonates with them on some level. Reminds them that no matter what people do to you, say about you, or try to take from you, they can NEVER take what God has for you.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum, 41, is already the mother of four daughters with ex-husband Mike Fowler: Bri, 19, Jaidyn, 14, West, 8, and Kendall, 7. Garcia and Fowler were married from 2009 to 2023.

In April 2024, Garcia announced that she was pregnant with baby No. 5, but she later suffered a miscarriage.

“I literally just found out,” she explained during an appearance on the “Viall Files” podcast, sharing that she was seven weeks pregnant. “I have not told one f—ing person except for my best friend.”

Garcia — who starred on season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which aired from September 2023 to January 2024 — then divulged how she discovered the news.

“I literally went into urgent care for something totally unrelated that I thought was wrong,” she said. “And the doctor came in and was like, ‘You’re pregnant.’”

Garcia recalled being “on the urgent care floor, bawling my eyes out” when she received the information.

“Because I’m like, ‘I’m 39!’ Like, there’s no way,” she recounted. “I’m on birth control. By all means, I should not be pregnant.”

Garcia also praised Knight — whom she met while filming a snowmobiling scene for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City — for his reaction to her pregnancy.

“I think honestly, we were both in shock,” she said. “But he has been incredible.”

At the time, Garcia clapped back at negativity surrounding her pregnancy news.

“Yes. I already have four girls. No. I was not planning on being 39 and going through the baby stage again, but unexpectedly here I am,” she wrote via Instagram in April 2024. “For everyone making hateful comments and judging me as a mother, immediately deleted and blocked. I will not intake the negativity coming at me over a baby. To everyone else, THANK YOU.”
