The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Mikayla Matthews is expecting baby No. 4 with husband Jace

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Mikayla Matthews is expecting baby No. 4 with husband Jace

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews announced she was expecting her fourth child with husband Jace Terry on Thursday.

The expecting 24-year-old – who boasts 3.8M social media followers – shared a video of the moment she discovered the surprise pregnancy, which she captioned: ‘Praying this baby heals me. So happy I [can] finally talk about this with all you guys, hahaha!’

Mikayla’s ‘healing’ comment was a reference to the chronic illness, which causes severe eczema to flare all over her body, that she’s suffered from since childhood and she still hasn’t received a diagnosis.

‘People tell me, “Maybe this baby’s gonna heal you.” My fingers are crossed because I get my most anxiety about all my health stuff and giving that to my baby,’ Matthews told People on Thursday.

‘It’s almost motivated me more to take care of my body because I’m like, “I want this baby to be as healthy as possible. I want me to be as healthy as possible.”‘

The Leighton Meester lookalike tends to ‘miss my period a lot with my health issues’ and she ‘didn’t think I could get pregnant right now’ so the couple was ‘shocked’ after taking the test.

Mikayla and Jace waited until she was ‘about eight weeks’ along before informing their three children – son Beckham, 7; daughter Haven, 5; and daughter Tommie, 3.

‘We waited until after my first ultrasound to tell them,’ Matthews – who plans on having six total – recalled.

‘We actually told them on the show, and they were so excited. They said Santa brought them a baby for Christmas. It was so sweet.’

The Cali-born, Utah-raised MomToker showcased her bourgeoning bump in a $109 Lioness ‘Field Of Dreams’ dress from Revolve/FWRD as she proudly posed with her ultrasounds.

Mikayla – who’s exhausted – hasn’t experienced morning sickness but she’s ‘eating for five people’ and craving ‘savory’ food like she did with her last son.

‘I feel like I’m meaner now too,’ Matthews laughed.

‘When you’re pregnant, you just don’t care. Then those hormones start coming in and I’m like yelling at people and then apologizing.’

On Wednesday, the non-practicing Mormon traveled to California to pick up her ‘upgraded’ diamond wedding ring ahead of her seventh wedding anniversary on March 1.

Mikayla hinted that she was the one who paid for the upgrade as Terry just got a job as the personal ᴀssistant of her hairstylist Jessi at the JZ Styles salon in Pleasant Grove, UT.
