Congratulations are in order! Monica Garcia is pregnant with her fifth child. The former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star announced the news during a new episode of The Viall Files, hosted by Bachelor Nation alum Nick Viall. We know you have a ton of questions. Let’s get into the details.
Baby von Tease
Apparently, Monica has had a secret 29-year-old boyfriend for the last year. On the podcast, she explained how she went to an urgent care visit for something unrelated. The nurses took a pregnancy test, and the results were a shock for both Monica and her boyfriend.
“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,'” Monica recalled
She continued, “I’m like, ‘I’m 39! Like, there’s no way. I’m on birth control.’ By all means, I should not be pregnant.”
Monica noted that her boyfriend has been “incredible” after receiving the news—especially since they were not planning on having a baby. But, who is this mystery man? She explained that she met him while filming Real Housewives of Salt Lake City at a park called Wasatch Excursions.
“That is where Heather [Gay] and I shot our snowmobiling scene,” Monica explained. “So, that is when I met him. I was like, ‘Give me your phone.’ He handed me his phone and I put my name and number in there.”
Although Monica is still keeping her boyfriend’s identity under wraps, she did share a few more details about him. She said he’s a former Mormon, which means they have something in common. Plus, he was already dating someone else when Monica first met him. That didn’t stop them from exchanging numbers.
“When we had a break, I went over to him and I was like, ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’” Monica recalled. “And he said, ‘No, I’m just dating someone.’”
On The Viall Files, Monica admitted that she hadn’t told anyone about the pregnancy. She’s still in the early stages and confirmed that she’s about seven weeks. Although this is just the beginning of her pregnancy journey, she admitted that she’s feeling a little nervous about this unexpected turn of events.
“I thought I was done [having kids],” Monica confessed. “I think being so much older and having a baby is, like, really freaking me out. Also, my youngest is 6. I thought I was done. It’s like, it’s so much.”
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City can be streamed on Peacock.
