By now, you’ve almost certainly heard the reports that Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her first child.
The news has received a mixed reaction, as most fans have offered congratulations, while some have had the audacity to declare that Kylie should’ve had an abortion.
But regardless of your feelings on the idea of Kylie becoming a mom, surely we can agree that Kardashians’ reaction to the news has been surprising, in that there’s been no reaction at all.
This is a family that’s built a empire on the public’s fascination with their personal lives, but they have yet to acknowledge this massive development.
It’s enough to get the conspiracy theorists working overtime.
Thus far, two theories have emerged:
The first holds that Kylie’s family is less than thrilled by the news that she’s expecting.
The second, far more salacious, hypothesis is that Kylie isn’t pregnant at all, and the whole thing is a prank gone awry.
Let’s address the less absurd rumor first:
According to People magazine, Kylie’s mother and sisters are doing their best to be supportive, but they’re decidedly not happy about Kylie’s decision to welcome a child.
“Kylie is very naïve,” says one insider, adding that she “of course has no idea about all the hard work and sleepless nights.”
The source notes that Kris Jenner and company are “overjoyed,” but remain steadfast in their belief that “Kylie is too young to have a baby.”
At the end of the day, the informant claims, the Kard clan is doing their best to hide their anguish, because Kylie is simply thrilled by the prospect of becoming a mom.
“This is the happiest she’s ever been,” says one source.
We may never know for sure if that’s been the reaction within the Kardashian camp.
Just kidding, all will be revealed on a very special episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
As for the other theory, yes, there are some folks out there who genuinely believe Kylie just meant to have a laugh with her friends, and now she’s forced to pretend she’s pregnant, so as not to piss off her fans.
According to these people, she’s stuck in the plot of a bad early-90s teen comedy, possibly starring Christina Applegate, and she has no choice but to start wearing a halved basketball under her shirt.
Obviously, that’s ridiculous … but it would make a good storyline, and Kylie is the daughter of Kris Jenner, so we’re not counting anything out.
