Back in June, rumors that Kailyn Lowry was dating Becky Hayter spread like wildfire across the Internet.
Becky and Kailyn have been close for years, and in the wake of Lowry’s divorce from Javi Marroquin many fans felt that their relationship had developed into something more.
Kailyn and Becky denied that they were dating, but insiders continued to claim that they were more than just friends.
Even Javi insisted that despite their claims to the contrary, Kailyn and Becky were definitely hooking up.
Now, Kailyn has re-ignited those rumors with a set of photos and some suggestive social media posts.
As you can see, Kailyn and Becky posed for some couple-y looking photos over the weekend, as Hayter joined her friend (with benefits?) for a trip to a book signing at Johns Hopkins University.
The presence of camera equipment in the background of some pics suggests that Hayter will be playing an expanded role in the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2.
But what really had fans talking is a Snapchat video in which the ladies joked about their new “relationship”:
“Are you so happy to be my girlfriend now? I’m so glad we made it official,” Kailyn asked Becky in the clip.
It appears that they were just having a laugh about the rumors that have long surrounded their friendship, but there’s another possibility, as well.
Some fans believe Kailyn was using humor to test the waters.
They believe she’s actually been romantically involved with Hayter off and on for several years, and the joke was her way of gauging how fans would react if she actually came out.
There’s been even more scrutiny on Lowry’s love life than usual in recent weeks, thanks to questions surrounding the identity of Kailyn’s baby daddy.
By all accounts, the pregnancy was unplanned, so we think Hayter can be ruled out as a possibility.
But that doesn’t mean she won’t be actively involved in the child’s upbringing.
It’s impossible for us to say if anything is actually going on between Kailyn and Becky.
But it seems that no matter what the nature of their relationship, Becky is one of the more important people in Kailyn’s life.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the road that brought Kailyn to where she is today.
