Former MTV star Camila Nakagawa will soon embark on a whole new challenge as she prepares to welcome her first child.
The 31-year-old revealed to People that she will become a mom this summer, less than three years after making her last appearance on MTV’s The Challenge — a season in which she won alongside Jordan Wiseley, each taking home $450,000.
“I am pregnant and bringing a baby into the world in the summer of 2020,” she told the magazine. “Having a child and being a mother is going to help me look at the world with a whole new perspective than ever before and I cannot wait for it.”

Though she revealed her pregnancy was unplanned, she believes “it was meant to be.”
“I used to say I don’t think I’m ever going to have kids because the world we live in is just a lot right now,” she said. “But I think this came because it was meant to be, and I’m very excited. This is the best decision I’ve ever made.”
Camila refused to reveal who her baby daddy is, only saying that he “is someone that is in my life and that I admire and care for very much and he will make a great father.”
Camila shared the news of her pregnancy on social media and her announcement was soon met with congratulations from her followers as well as members of ‘The Challenge’ family, including Turabi “Turbo” Camkiran and Jordan.
The last couple of times fans of ‘The Challenge’ saw Camila on TV, she was verbally attacking cast mate Leroy Garrett in a racist tirade on Dirty 30 only to then have a breakdown while filming Champs vs. Stars that consisted of “The Camilinator” stealing a golf cart, punching a crew member and leaving the set in handcuffs.
Back in 2017, ‘The Challenge’ insiders told The Ashley that Camila would not be allowed back on the show following her ‘Champs vs. Stars’ incident. However, in her new interview, Camila claims it was her decision to take a break from the competition series
“It was very necessary,” she said. “I wanted to travel and explore and get to know myself a little more and that’s pretty much what I did. I spent some quality time with my family and friends and just started working on some projects of my own. But mainly I traveled…”
Camila went on to say her time away from the show has helped her realize what she loves and doesn’t love about herself — both of which she said the show brought out of her.

“I’m still trying to figure out how I can get rid of the things I don’t like and strengthen the things I do,” she added. “I lived it a lot like it was real life and failed to remember that it’s a TV show. And now I’ve found I really like real life, real people and talking about real things. It’s really refreshing to be surrounded by people that aren’t necessarily competing with me all the time.”
While a return to ‘The Challenge’ is uncertain, Camila plans to use what she learned on the show to help her as a mother.
“I’m very excited, too, to have someone that for the rest of my life is going to keep me accountable for my actions,” she said. “That’s something that I learned from ‘The Challenge’: accountability and not being a victim, and wanting to face my fears and the things that made me not be who I wanted to be.”

The pregnancy was “meant to be” because you don’t know how to use birth control.
Having a baby can absolutely change a person for the better, but it’s not a guarantee. Babies are very stressful, it’s not all love and bliss.
And Camila needs to know that unconditional love can be a one way street for a parent/child relationship. The parent has to love the child unconditionally, but the child doesn’t have to unconditionally love the parent if they are a toxic asshole.
Well…as I said for my former bully who is also currently expecting a child…I hope she will raise the child not to behave like she did.
Soooooooo she’s a racist, I’d violent and a slut. A rich one too. The money (if there’s any left) is all she has going for herself. Yet another tragic ‘reality show’ slapper.
*is not I’d
Slut shaming in 2020? Wow. WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX AND NOT BE CALLED SLUTS.
Amber- Sleeping around with A LOT of men is being a SLUT. Slut shaming will always be around especially when you behave like her. A racist, slutty nobody..much like yourself. Your mother (and hers) should really have just let you dribble down her leg instead of get pregnant with you.
I enjoy sex, that doesn’t make me a slut. Enjoying sex, hell enjoying sex with multiple partners, doesn’t make you a slut. As long as everyone is of age and consents, there should be no issue.
I really thought we were moving past the slut shaming.
I didn’t hear Camila got married, weird.
stay lit
