When Bravo fans last saw Monica Garcia on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she was at the center of one of the Housewives franchise's most memorable finales. In the Season 4 finale, Heather Gay exposed Monica as one of the creators behind Reality Von Tease, a gossip account about the RHOSLC cast. Monica later confessed to creating the account to get back at former housewife Jen Shah, who is currently serving 6 ½ years in prison, but to her co-stars, the damage was done.
Following the Season 4 finale, Monica was basically sent in timeout from appearing on RHOSLC, though she’s since been endorsed by Rihanna to return to the cast. While we all know Miss Fenty has some pull, Monica’s future as a Bravolebrity remains unknown. However, in April 2024, she confirmed a few surprising updates to her personal life since departure, including a new man and a new baby!
Here’s the tea.
Who is Monica Garcia dating?
After her messy divorce from her ex-husband, Mike Fowler, Monica kept her boyfriend, Braxton Knight, under wraps. In an interview on Nick Viall’s podcast, The Viall Files, Monica revealed she’s been dating a 29-year-old mystery man since she started shooting RHOSLC. She said the pair met at Wasatch Excursions, the park where she and Heather shot their snowmobiling scene.
Monica shared on the podcast that she was apprehensive about talking to her future beau, due to her being a former Mormon and him being entangled with someone else at the time. Fortunately, she got over her fear and they exchanged numbers and continued pursuing one another from there.
“When we had a break, I went over to him and I was like, ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’” Monica mentioned this on the podcast. “And he said, ‘No, I’m just dating someone.’”
Monica Garcia announced her pregnancy with her fifth child.
Despite wanting to keep their relationship private, Monica and Braxton are stronger than ever and will welcome their first child together in 2025. Monica shared the happy news with People in March 2025 and said they found out she was pregnant during a trip to Disneyland. Her pregnancy came after she experienced a miscarriage in 2024, shortly after being fired from RHOSLC.
As fans witnessed on RHOSLC, Monica is already a mom to her four daughters — Bri, Jaidyn, West, and Kendall—whom she has had sole full custody of since November 2023, per Page Six. She has said she didn’t think she could have any more kids due to her age and the fact that she was on birth control.
