For weeks now, Teen Mom 2 fans have been obsessing over the identity of Kailyn Lowry’s baby daddy.
Kail seems determined to keep the guy’s name a secret, but it’s hard to keep anything under wraps when you have social media followers numbering in the millions.
As a result, whether it was her intention or not, Lowry has left a breadcrumb trail of online clues that her most obsessive fans have followed diligently.
At first, all signs seemed to point to Kailyn being pregnant by Chris Lopez.
There were at least a couple other candidates, but Lopez emerged as an early frontrunner.
Today, however, Lowry seemed to contradict the the consensus.
When a fan tweeted, “Her baby is half Spanish like the other two,” Kail responded:
“What? The baby I’m having is def black lol.”
We won’t wade into the potentially problematic nature of Lowry’s tweet (except to say that’s one confusing “lol”), and instead we’ll focus on how fans are responding to the tweet.
Some believe it’s a joke. (Ugh. That would be such an inexcusable joke. Sorry! We said we wouldn’t go there.)
Others seem to believe that it’s Kail’s way of throwing fans off the trail.
(Seems like the best way to keep this particular secret would just be to stay off social media for a few months, but again, we digress.)
Still others believe she’s telling fans that this is Kailyn’s first direct comment on the identity of her baby’s father.
Previously, the only time she intentionally addressed the speculation on social media was to say that she does know who the father is.
Kail has dropped several hints that Lopez is the dad, but they appear to have been accidental.
In one case, she referred to the child’s father as “Chris” during an Instagram livestream that was cut short just seconds later.
Kailyn’s latest tweet on the matter seems to offer contradictory information, which may have been her intention.
Of course, fans awaiting further clarification shouldn’t hold their breath.
Lowry isn’t doing much in the way of elaboration these days.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online at TV Fanatic to relive the rollercoaster ride that brought Kailyn to where she is today.
And of course, follow her on social media to try and piece together the various clues about her love life.
