If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, then you’re likely aware that the show’s fan base is caught up in an ongoing mystery that’s inspired more social media sleuthing and wild theories than the series finale of LOST.
We’re talking, of course, about the speculation surrounding the identity of Kailyn Lowry’s baby daddy.
Throughout her third pregnancy, the usually candid star has been uncharacteristically cagey on the question of who knocked her up.
But as eagle-eyed fans have noted, Lowry has occasionally let her guard down.
Fans are convinced that Chris Lopez got Kailyn pregnant, and while there are many clues to support this theory, the one that’s cited by fans most often involves the manner in which Lowry refers to the bun in her oven.
Kailyn is in the habit of calling her unborn child “Baby Lo,” which many believe is an inside joke referring to the similar letters in Lowry and Lopez’s last names.
Interestingly, Kailyn has yet to refute those rumors, and it seems she’s still fond of that possibly very meaningful nickname:
Lowry posted the above selfie earlier today along with the following caption:
“Happy bump day from Baby Lo & me.”
Yes, Kailyn is still calling her forthcoming bundle of joy Baby Lo.
But there a could be an explanation for it that most of her fans have failed to consider.
Either that, or Kailyn’s team is desperately running interference so that she doesn’t get sued by a guy who clearly doesn’t want his name out there:
“It stands for littlest one,” a source close to Kailyn recently told Radar Online.
We’re gonna go ahead and call BS on that explanation for a number of reasons:
For starters, referring to your youngest kid as “littlest one” sounds like something out of a dusty Victorian novel, not an MTV reality show.
On top of that, if that’s the explanation for the nickname, why wouldn’t Kailyn just come out and say so?
She’s clearly fed up with the rumors, and the “littlest one” clarification would at least put one theory to rest.
We’re thinking that Lowry doesn’t want to confirm that fans got this one right, but doesn’t particularly mind if TM2 obsessives continue linking her to Lopez.
