When Khloe Kardashian posted a photo on Instagram of herself caressing her tummy with no caption but a blue heart, observers and fans speculated that the reality TV star must be expecting.
"It's no secret that she desperately wants to be a mother," Buzzfeed pointed out. "The star, who's in the process of divorcing basketball player Lamar Odom and is dating rapper French Montana, famously struggled to conceive in the four years she was married to Lamar."
Viewers of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" can recall her taking fertility tests on camera, as well as fertility treatments. However, these interventions have appeared to fail to give Khloe the results she wanted.
This, however, has not kept her from declaring that the 30-year-old feels as if she's been "pregnant for six years."
"I used to get offended, like, 'Do I look fat today?' or 'Why are they saying that?' But they just say it," the Kardashian sibling said, People noted. "Before I was like, 'Do I have a baby bump? Is my belly sticking out?' But no. I mean, one day the rumor will be true, I hope, but who knows? Until then, it is what it is."
We're thinking that if she indeed is pregnant, she would have made it clear to the whole world and announced the good news herself. After all, it's what she's always wanted, right?
She has not confirmed the rumors yet, though. We will know for sure in a future episode of KUTK. Her sisters, Kourtney and Kim, had announced their own pregnancies in the past through the reality series.
"Even if she's not pregnant, she had to have known that posting that kind of picture is a sure-fire way to get people talking about a pregnancy, right?" Celeb Dirty Laundry observed. "Either way, whether she's either real-pregnant or fake-pregnant, she wants you to think that she's pregnant."
So, was that photo her way of saying she wants to have rapper French Montana's baby? The reality star has been dating the 29-year-old artist for months now and they appear to be getting more solid as a couple.
Or is this her way of ramping up publicity, as only a Kardashian know how?
In the wake of all the pregnancy rumors, one person who reportedly isn't pleased about the possibility of Khloe conceiving is estranged hubby Lamar.
"He hates the fact she's with another man. He hasn't really come to grips that she's in what seems to be a real and committed relationship," a source told Hollywood Life. "It would be one thing if she and Montana were casually dating but this sh*t is for real and he's kinda pissed."
