For months now, Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy has served as a constant source of mystery and confusion.
Kylie has all but disappeared from social media in the months since we learned she’s expecting Travis Scott’s baby, and fans are understandably curious about why one of the internet’s most visible influencers is suddenly keeping such a low profile.
At first, it was rumored that Kylie felt self-conscious about her changing body and simply decided to lay off the selfies and hide out at home for the sake of her self-esteem.
Earlier this week, however, Kardashian sources indicated that the 20-year-old is devoting her time these days to focusing on her health and the challenges she’ll face as a single mother:
“She clearly made a conscious decision to step away from the spotlight,” a source close to the family tells People magazine.
“Kylie didn’t want her pregnancy to be a circus. She is actually very private about certain aspects of her personal life, and staying low key has given her time to really prepare for what’s coming.”
“Private” isn’t the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Kylie Jenner, but we get what they’re trying to say.
Earlier this week, we got out first look at Kylie’s baby bump thanks to video obtained by TMZ.
Fans scrutinized every frame of the footage in search of information about how far along Kylie is and when she might be due.
And some arrived at a very interesting conclusion.
A vocal contingent of Kylie obsessives believes that the footage is proof that Jenner already gave birth.
Some have even gone so far as to claim it’s evidence that Kylie was Kim Kardashian’s surrogate and delivered her sister’s baby last week.
“@KylieJenner looks postpartum. The way she gets into that suv looks like she’s in pain. I smell surrogacy for her sister,” tweeted one fan.
“I’m starting to think @KylieJenner really isn’t pregnant or she already had the baby. Like come on Kylie, this shits played out already lmao,” wrote another.
“We have reason to believe that kylie jenner had her baby already,” remarked a third.
And what’s our take?
Well, it’s entirely possible that Kylie has given birth, but the notions that she was either carrying Kim’s baby or never actually pregnant at all, while amusing, are a little far-fetched.
We don’t think even Kris Jenner would be capable of masterminding a cover-up of that magnitude.
