Kara Keough Bosworth has revealed she is expecting a child one year after the death of her newborn son McCoy.
Bosworth, 32, reflected on loss, life and renewal as she announced she was pregnant with her third child via an Easter Sunday Instagram celebrating both ‘new life’ and ‘sacrifice.’
Kara’s snaps showed daughter Decker, five, crouching next to three Easter baskets – one for her, one for McCoy and one without a name – in front of a garden stake with said: ‘McCoy’s a big brother! Sprouting this spring!’
The daughter of RHOC original Jeana Keough tragically lost son McCoy six days after delivering him via home birth in April 2020.

‘For Christians, for Jews, and for me, this time is a reminder of the death of firstborn sons. Sacrifice. Suffering. Mourning. Grief.
‘Why is this night different than other nights? Last Easter was the worst night of my life. We held our firstborn son in our arms as he took his final breaths. We spent time in the hell that is watching your child die.
‘This Easter is decidedly better. Despite that wretched Easter night, I can’t ignore that this day also represents rebirth. Renewed hope.
‘It is said that the word “Easter” is derived from the goddess Eostre. Eostre, the goddess of fertility, symbolizes the birth of new life and the dawn of spring.
‘And so it is for us. New life, the dawn of something beautiful and restorative. Quite literally rising from the ground.
‘We miss you, Mack-a-doodle. Thank you for sending us this sacred gift. You’re a big brother! Tell Grandpa that I said he was right. He’ll know what I mean.’

Kara has very vulnerably shared snaps of her late son McCoy after he died due to ‘shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.’
In her religious-tinged message last April, she wrote that the infant was in a ‘better place.’
‘May his legacy shine in the form of lifetimes aplenty – lives filled with laughter, compassion, energy, love, and most of all gratitude.
‘May it be said that McCoy Casey Bosworth left this world in a better place, for a better place…. that he made an impact… that he was an answered prayer… that he was a hero. May angels lead him in.’
