Monica Garcia is pregnant — and “in shock.”
The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” alum told “Viall File” podcast listeners Thursday that baby No. 5 is on the way, her first child with her 29-year-old boyfriend.
The Bravolebrity, who has yet to reveal her partner’s identity, claimed she was “on birth control” when she found out she is expecting.
“I literally went into urgent care for something totally unrelated that I thought was wrong, and the doctor came in and was like, ‘You’re pregnant,’” the former reality star, 40, recalled.
“I [was] like, ‘I’m 39! Like, there’s no way. I’m on birth control,’” she continued. “‘By all means, I should not be pregnant.’”
Garcia praised her boyfriend for being an “incredible” support while they await the little one.
The Brea Baby creator, who was an “RHOSLC” cast member for a single season, is already the mother to four children — Bri, 18, Jaidyn, 13, West, 7, and Kendall, 6.
She was awarded sole legal and physical custody, as well as $6,000 in monthly support, when she and ex-husband Mike Fowler finalized their divorce in October 2023.
The couple previously got divorced in 2013 but had reconciled.
In January, Fowler was arrested on charges of domestic violence assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child and interruption of a communication device after allegedly “slapping [his ex] across the face.”
He was reportedly sentenced to 12 months probation and had to pay $1,070 in fines.
Garcia met her current partner while shooting a snowmobiling scene with Heather Gay, telling podcast host Nick Viall that they exchanged phone numbers at the time.
