RHOSLC’s Monica Garcia Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 5

Monica Garcia is preparing for a new reality.

Previously featured on “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” this lady is now anticipating a new addition to her family, a baby, with her partner Braxton Knight. This joyous news comes almost a year following a miscarriage they experienced together.

Despite expecting another child, a mother of four (with daughters Bri, 19, Jaidyn, 14, West, 8, and Kendall, 7) who was previously married to Mike Fowler, decided to keep the joyous news confidential until now. This was due to the intense public attention she received during her previous pregnancy loss.

She shared with People magazine on March 4 that the constant accusations I was lying about my pregnancy and miscarriage, which came at a time when I was already dealing with such an unexpected loss, was a pain I will always remember. It felt like I was losing a baby while being torn apart by some of the cruelest comments ever made to or about me.

In the final episode of the fourth season, it emerged that Monica, aged 41, had secretly managed the popular Instagram account known as Reality Von (Tea)se on the Bravo series, following a surprising revelation.

She openly acknowledged that stepping away from the chaos and whirlwind of RHOSLC was tough. The love and criticism she received left a mark on her, and unfortunately, some old friendships were strained, cast members distanced themselves from her, she lost her job, her relationship with her mother remains unhealed, and overall, her life fell apart.

As a result, the reality star chose to put herself and her baby first.

She underscored the significance of maintaining tranquility during her pregnancy. She is thankful for everyone who has supported her, from dear friends to loving fans and family members.

As Monica’s due date draws nearer, there remains a significant decision for her and Braxton: choosing a name for their upcoming baby.

She confessed that we don’t have any names yet. Naming is proving quite a challenge for us. Feel free to share your creative name ideas with us!

Bravo’s unfortunate endeavor, aiming to showcase our country’s capital, gathered four women who are easily forgettable, and you might even find yourself intentionally forgetting them if given a chance – their names being Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, and Stacie Scott Turner. However, one woman’s thirst for fame was so strong that she managed to crash a party at the White House. More about her will be discussed later on.

Who?

Vaguely familiar, but…

Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.

In January 2022, Utah’s second season Housewife, Jennie, was dismissed following a resurgence of her old offensive and racially insensitive Facebook posts. Unfortunately for Jennie, these posts caused controversy online. Later on, she expressed her apologies, but the harm had already been inflicted.

Her defining trait was “cougar.”

In the first season where I was a dedicated follower, Dr. Jen, an Orange County doctor, kept things calm and uneventful, unlike her husband Ryne (or perhaps Ryan?) and his marital issues which were rather uninteresting. However, one moment that will forever remain etched in my memory is when Dr. Jen had a bit too much wine at the Dubrows’ extremely awkward, yet undeniably entertaining dinner party, leaving quite an impression.

The initial period of work for the nurse anesthetist could succinctly be described as a regrettable episode, which we fervently hope will not recur – let’s call it “The Esophageal Incident.

Katie often spoke passionately about her charitable deeds, however, didn’t seem to do much else in her on-screen appearances. She was essentially a one-time appearance, and when she returned, she didn’t contribute significantly as a friend. Cutting the cast trip short? That’s definitely not acceptable for a ‘Housewife’.

In my professional opinion as a lifestyle advisor, my personal observation of Charrisse’s time as a full-time Housewife showcased some challenging marital issues that were quite evident. Beyond these matters, her champagne room is another unforgettable aspect of her story.

A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

In season 12, it was refreshing to observe some diversity in the predominantly white Orange County setting, but Peggy turned out to be a vexing character. The disputes she opted to instigate were peculiar, frequently revolving around misunderstandings about words that others used casually, and her choice to isolate herself in her room for an entire day during the Iceland trip indicated that she wasn’t fully equipped for the fast-paced lifestyle of a Real Housewife.

During her debut season, instead of forming a connection with fellow Nigerian cast member Wendy Osefo, Nneka found herself embroiled in a dispute centered on allegedly accusing Wendy’s mother of being a witch (indeed, an extraordinary situation). It would have been delightful to observe them bonding over their shared heritage instead of engaging in conflict without resolution.

In a whirlwind manner, Noella navigated season 16, much like a frenzied tornado. Although her personal troubles, such as her husband James departing the country and requesting a divorce just before filming began, added intrigue (albeit somewhat), it was her ongoing turmoil with Heather Dubrow, the queen bee, that prevented her from sinking too low in the rankings. With more seasons to come, we might grow fonder of Mrs. Bergener.

In her debut season, she was known for maintaining peace, but by her final season, she switched to persistent complaints about a tossed cake and baseless accusations of anti-Semitism. It’s hard to recall a more rapid decline in reputation among the Real Housewives.

Everything that Amber and her spouse, Jim, appeared to do exuded a sense of urgency or panic. Moreover, it seemed Jim was entangled in more of the turmoil compared to Amber. It’s not an attractive picture.

From what we recall, Karen appeared to be a dental professional, and it seemed as if her colleagues didn’t have the warmest feelings towards her. Onto the next one!

This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.

Among the relatively short-lived cast members on RHONY, Jules didn’t stay long enough to claim a top spot. Yet, she certainly brought a lot of excitement and drama during her time on the show.

So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.

Just as Sara Al Madani, I admire Nina for embodying a multifaceted, accomplished Arab woman who masterfully merges contemporary living with age-old cultural practices. She skillfully navigated the majority of season one’s turmoil and at times found herself eclipsed by her co-stars’ more boisterous personas.

Taleen proved to be a valuable asset during the second season of RHODubai, however, since we only have one season’s worth of material to evaluate her performance, it is too early to make definitive judgments about her.

In seasons 11 and 12, a longtime contestant on “America’s Next Top Model” chose a peach, but failed to leave a lasting impact on the realm of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” except for being pregnant throughout her term. However, she did earn some points for her brilliant takedown of Marlo Hampton during their time in Tokyo.

Normally, we prefer to observe multiple seasons before ranking a new Housewife higher. However, Katie made quite an impact during the 18th season of RHOC, challenging veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow right from the start. It takes courage to question someone as high-profile as ‘Ms. Fancypants’.

Sara’s upbeat, insightful perspective on life was generally enjoyable, yet lacked the usual dose of drama (except for that instance when she gave Caroline Brooks some less-than-appreciated parenting advice). Nevertheless, this tech entrepreneur broke down barriers and challenged traditional perceptions of what it signifies to be a contemporary Muslim woman in the Middle East, and for this, we commend her.

In their debut on Season 13 of RHONJ, the newcomers undeniably embodied the stereotypical Jersey Housewife persona, engaging in a prolonged dispute over an insignificant matter that even Andy Cohen deemed unnecessary at the reunion. Regrettably, these former friends failed to add much depth during Season 14.

In the first season, Larsa didn’t leave a strong impact and departed from the show. When the revival of RHOM took place in 2021 for season four, her main plotline revolved around her past friendship with Kim Kardashian and her involvement in selling risqué foot photos on OnlyFans.

After spending one season as a Bravo celebrity, she participated in the twelfth season of “Next Food Network Star” in 2016. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful in that competition as well.

Sadly, she seemed to serve primarily as an object of verbal abuse from Brandi Glanville. Additionally, her catchphrase promoting the unsavory idea that one can never be too thin was distasteful.
