For weeks now, Teen Mom fans have been convinced that Kailyn Lowry is pregnant with her fifth child.
Kail has yet to either confirm or deny the rumors, and many have jumped to the conclusion that her silence is speaking volumes.
Lowry is currently dating 24-year-old Elijah Scott.
While Lowry spoke about having her tubes tied during a recent podcast, fans suspect that she became pregnant before she could undergo the procedure.
Kail’s previous baby daddy, Chris Lopez, was the first to allege that she’s secretly pregnant by Scott.
Lowry has been posting to social media as frequently as ever in the weeks since, but she has not directly addressed the rumors that she’s expecting.
But despite Kail’s efforts to change the subject, the possibility of a fifth Lowry child is very much at the forefront of fans’ minds.
Earlier this week, Kail posted a video to her Instagram page in which she gushed about a new handbag she had purchased.
“Okay, so, I came into the office today, and I wanted to show you guys what I got and do a little review,” she told viewers.
“This is not a sponsored post or ad! #beis #weekender #kail #Kaillowry #kailandthechaos #momlife #boymom,” she captioned the post.
As usual, Lowry was casually dressed in a loose-fitting hoodie.
And if she is pregnant, she’s probably very early on, so there was none of the usual scrutiny and speculation surrounding Lowry’s midsection.
But some fans decided that they could tell Kail was pregnant simply by looking at her face.
“Pregnancy glow for sure,” one follower wrote, according to UK tabloid The Sun.
“Can you not,” Kail replied, having clearly grown weary of the speculation surrounding her uterus.
That didn’t stop the rumor mill from churning, of course, and several other fans also commented on the possibility that Lowry is expecting.
“Stop hiding that baby bump!” one commenter wrote.
“Or is this your new BABY bag…to have your fifth child come home with? Lol,” another added.
A third remarked that Kail appears to be rocking a “swollen” face and a “pregnancy nose” in her latest posts.
Yes, folks, once the internet decides that a woman is pregnant, they’ll cruelly dissect her pics in search of clues fo support their theory — even when said pics only show the woman’s face!
Is Kail actually pregnant?
We don’t know, but either way, it’s sad to see her endure this sort of scrutiny again.
We’re sure that after all her years in the spotlight, Lowry is at least somewhat accustomed to this sort of treatment.
Still, it can’t feel good to have strangers offering insights about the cause of your “swollen” face.
Just another reminder to think before you comment and always err on the side of kindness!
