Monica Garcia Was "Not Planning" on Her Pregnancy
The Brea Baby swaddle company founder shared a video on Instagram of her taking a series of pregnancy tests on April 11. Though Monica said on The Viall Files that she had learned of her pregnancy when she went to urgent care, she wanted to make sure that she was really expecting.
All five of the tests proved to be positive. In the caption of her post, Monica addressed her critics, and her supporters.
"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 alongside the video. "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."
Monica Garcia Shares a Photo of Boyfriend, Braxton
The lead photo on the revealing Instagram appeared to also include a photo of Monica with Braxton. However, his face is covered with snow gear.
Who Is Monica Garcia's Boyfriend, Braxton?
Monica revealed on The Viall FIles that she's been in a relationship with the 29-year-old property manager for about a year.
"I've been dating him for a year, and no one even knows who he is..." she said on The Viall Files. "We actually met during filming. I met him filming."
Monica said that she met her now-boyfriend Braxton when she went snowmobiling with Heather Gay on the show, though they didn't reconnect until a few weeks later. She gave him her number during the snowmobiling excursion, and he contacted her two weeks later. The two have been together ever since, and Monica said that Braxton has been really "supportive" since he learned that he was going to be a dad.
She is followed on Instagram by someone named Braxton Knight who has a private account, which has led to speculation that he is the Braxton she's in a relationship with.
