How Leroy Garrett Felt Doing The Challenge After Daughter Aria’s Birth

When Leroy Garrett was suiting up to compete in The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras, his fiancée Kam Williams was facing an even more grueling task at home.

The Real World: Las Vegas alum turned up for his 13th go-round on the MTV reality juggernaut mere weeks after Kam, 29, gave birth to their daughter Aria this past February. And despite that, the Are You the One? star—known as Killa Kam for her elimination skills—urged her future husband to go and kill it.

“Kam gave me the confidence to go,” Leroy explained to E! News’ Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview.

Between the newborn and their eldest, now 2-year-old son Kingston, “I was super like, ‘I don’t know if I should go,'” he admitted. “And she’s like, ‘Nah.'” 

For Leroy, that one move totally flipped the game for him. 

“When your partner is saying, ‘Hey, you could go do this,’ that’s the only thing that matters,” explained the 39-year-old. “So no part of me while I was there was worried, because I knew that I had a great mom at home taking care of my babies.”
