RHOC’s Kara Keough Bosworth Welcomes Baby No. 4: Get All the Sweet Details
The news comes shortly after Jeana Keough’s son Shane Keough announced that he and his wife welcomed their first child.
Kara Keough Bosworth, the daughter of The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough, has given birth to baby No. 4 with her husband, Kyle Bosworth.
She took to Instagram on Nov. 5 to both share the exciting news and honor her late son, McCoy, who passed away a few days after his birth in April 2020.
Kara Keough Bosworth’s Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby No. 4
Kara shared the exciting news in a lengthy Instagram post which she posted on Nov. 5.
“'It’s a girl!' Decker announced to an excited room on 11.1.23 at 5:43pm. Baby sister arrived three weeks early like her big brother Vaughn, weighing in at 8lbs 5oz and rocking a full head of dark hair. The first thing I saw was McCoy’s sweet chunky cheeks as we met our newest heaven-sent squish. She came screaming into our hearts and hasn’t stopped squawking since - earning [Kyle's] best nickname yet: 'Squeaks.' I can hear my dad’s voice as he would have said it, so I know it’s just right. Thank you to our birth team for the most dreamy induction a girl could ask for - starting with a foley bulb comfy enough to trick-or-treat in (I went as Wonder Woman obviously) and ending with a hasty labor tub transition. The cherry on top was holding hands with Decker the Doula/Birth Photographer-In-Training as I brought her longest-held wish earth-side: a baby sister. So many people prayed fiercely over this birth and we are seeping with gratitude that we got exactly what we prayed for: to bring our baby home," she wrote. "If you need me, I’ll be thanking God and pinching myself savoring the magic of Stetson Lou Bosworth."
Kara Keough Bosworth’s Pregnancy Announcement and Tribute to Son McCoy
She previously shared a tribute to her son when she revealed her pregnancy news earlier this year. Looking back on the tragic loss she and her family experienced, Kara began her caption, “After McCoy died, sharing my sorrow with you all helped. Grieving out loud helped me name my feelings and confront them. Like a monster under the bed, they felt less scary in the daylight. Like maybe they couldn’t drag me down and eat me alive if I kept them well lit. So I hung my heart out for all to see, and swept exactly none of the muck under any damn rugs. F-ck a rug; I wanted to feel it all.”
Later that year, Kara and Kyle — who are also parents to their 7-year-old daughter, Decker — learned they were expecting their now-2-year-old son Vaughn.
“[W]hen I found out I was pregnant with Vaughn, I quietly unfurled all the rugs. I lined every inch of my life with their insulating padding,” Kara’s caption continued. “I quit my job. I ignored phone calls and texts. I didn’t leave my house unless I had to (thanks Covid). I didn’t share our news with anyone that didn’t need to know. And when I did share, it sounded like I was telling them ‘I have ulcers.’ It was not a joyous celebration. It was a painstaking and brutal admission: ‘I’m at risk for another heart-shattering catastrophe.’”
“I was cocooned in a world of pain and did my best to shield myself from as many landmines as possible. I wanted to keep our joy private,” Kara wrote. “I stuck my head in the sand and just prayed to God that our baby would live — even though I reminded myself every day that he might not. Maybe what the all-knowing ‘they’ say about time is true, though. Because THIS time, we want to celebrate every second we have with this soul.”
Kara then shared how she and Kyle told Decker and Vaughn that they’re getting another sibling, writing, “We told the kids the day we got the positive test. Decker tells every person willing to listen that she’s the oldest of four kids as she lovingly strokes my belly. The joy spills out of her; she can’t wait to tell the world about Baby ‘Four.’”
“I’ve clawed my way on board with Decker for her sake, and Vaughn’s, and McCoy’s. It SHOULD be a happy occasion that they’re getting another sibling,” Kara continued. “For me, there’s just a cautious reluctance to let the excitement fully absorb. But I can’t deny that it feels right that those that have sat with us on our grieving bench should have a seat in our joyous swings too. So, for that reason (and because Decker and her grandmother [Jeana] can’t keep a secret for sh[-]t), I’m proud and scared as hell to announce Baby Bosworth #4 — due in November.”

Shane Keough’s Reaction to Kara Keough Bosworth’s Pregnancy Announcement
Kara’s brother Shane Keough was naturally thrilled to hear about her pregnancy. He took to his Instagram Stories on July 27 to share Kara’s post, as well as write, “My daughter gets another cousin in November.”
Shane’s daughter, it turns out, is due just one month prior. He announced back in April that he and his wife, Francheska, are expecting their first child. The news came in the form of an Instagram post featuring photos of Shane and Francheska, as well as sonogram pictures and a onesie that read “baby Keough.” The post’s caption read, “Keough family grows by one October 2023.”
Shane and his wife have also since become parents.
