The internet erupted on Friday when it was reported that Kylie Jenner is...apparently...pregnant. It’s pretty safe to say that no one saw it coming and the dust is only just starting to settle on the news that another member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is expecting a baby. And, while it’s easy to get caught up in the social media whirlwind of excitement and speculation, let’s not forget that Kylie hasn’t actually announced anything herself just yet.
This latest bout of celebrity baby speculation all started when TMZ reported that Kylie has started to tell her friends that she and boyfriend Travis Scott are expecting a child. The website also claimed that sources revealed that Travis has also been telling his friends that he and Kylie are expecting a girl (but they can’t quite verify that bit, apparently).
Needless to say, the internet has had a lot to say about the whole thing. Is she even pregnant? What’s been going on with her Instagram recently? Is this low-key something to do with the* Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s* 10 year anniversary? The world wide web has so many questions, here are some of the big ones that people seem to be speculating.

Has Kylie Jenner’s Instagram game has changed?
While Instagram is probably as close as we will ever get to the inside workings of Kylie Jenner’s mind, TMZ also reported that the way she’s been using the app hints at confirmation that she is indeed pregnant. ‘Kylie’s been posting old pics of herself on Instagram and current shots from the chest up’, they said.
If we journey over to Kylie’s Instagram feed though, if we’re going to do the frustratingly common ‘unwelcomed interpretation of images of a young woman’s body that we had no part or place taking’ thing, everything looks about the same as usual. A few full body shots, a few mirror selfies, a few artfully lit pics of herself and BFF Jordyn, and so on.
Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy was Kris’s plan all along
The cynics among us have gone for a slightly more sinister conspiracy – that this was all Kris Jenner’s doing. On what basis, you ask? Well, the rumours about Kylie's pregnancy just so happened to surface a couple of days before the 10th anniversary special of* Keeping Up With The Kardashians*. And what better way to garner interest in the family's TV series than with talk of another baby on the way, eh?
