From the minute that Kailyn Lowry’s pregnancy was first leaked, there’s been countless rumors about the news. After all, Kailyn Lowry herself didn’t confirm the pregnancy for weeks, meaning fans had to get their news from insider sources.
And since an insider was right about the pregnancy, fans now seem more willing to believe information that comes from insiders.
Now, it looks like there’s another major scoop coming down the pipeline: despite the news, Chris might not be the father.
Before Kailyn’s pregnancy was revealed, she made it very clear that she wanted to have a fourth child.
Kailyn broached the topic on her podcast, Coffee Convos while Lindsie Chrisley and Leah Messer weighed in. All three women have motherhood in common, and single mothers Leah and Kailyn discussed the fact that they had three children of the same gender. It wasn’t long before Leah brought up the fact that she wanted a baby boy down the road.
But Kailyn revealed that she had already started the process of going to a sperm bank!
“I know, I say that about a girl,” Kailyn said. “I’m like, ‘I should just go pick out some sperm at the bank!’”
Her co-host Lindsie wasn’t feeling it. “No, you shouldn’t!” she told Kailyn. “You don’t know what types of mental disorders these people have!” Then Kailyn dropped a bombshell.
“When you go to the sperm bank and look at profiles — cause I’ve already done it — some of the sperm banks will not…” Kailyn said before Lindsie cut her off. “You’ve been to the sperm bank?!” her co-host asked in shock.
“No, I’ve looked online at the sperm bank profiles!” Kailyn responded. She may not have gone in person, but it seems like Kailyn is seriously considering going through with this idea.
As for Leah, it’s not for her. But for Kail, she admitted that it’s “an option” for her.
This isn’t the first time that Kailyn has discussed her plans for having a fourth baby. She recently spilled that she was interested in freezing her eggs so that she could have children down the road.
Now, it looks like she won't need to! Kailyn apparently pushed aside her sperm bank plan and got pregnant the old fashioned way.
News broke when an extremely trustworthy source has just shared the ultrasound pics: the family of the man who got her pregnant.
And how do we know this family, you ask? Well… It appears that the baby daddy is none other than Chris Lopez himself!
Kailyn and Chris’s relationship hasn’t exactly been a romantic love story before or after Kailyn gave birth to their child, Lux. Do you think it will change since they are apparently having another child together?!
“Wanna give a big congratulations to @kailynsfamily on the new addition [due] july 25.. Cant wait to meet baby number 2 for us- 4 for her,” wrote Instagram account @hhlg1975 today along with shots of an ultrasound. The account belongs to none other than Chris’s aunt!
As if this wasn’t enough, the nails in the photo clearly match up to Kailyn’s nails on her Instagram back in December.
Kailyn went on to confirm the pregnancy in partnership with a company called Peanut.
"We’re confirming the news, baby #4 is coming soon! 🎉" she shared.
She went on:
"I’m almost 16 weeks pregnant & it’s been a rough few months this time around. I've had nausea, morning sickness, and absolutely no energy. 😭 This week I’m starting to feel a bit better and I'm really hoping it stays this way!🤰🏻@Peanut has been an amazing support for me since I found out I was pregnant again. Going through nausea and morning sickness while trying to keep the news a secret can be quite isolating. There are so many helpful threads on the app from other women who have been through it too. It's always reassuring to know you're not alone. Whether you're already a mom, pregnant, or trying to conceive, I really recommend you join the @peanut community. It's an amazing space to build friendships, find support and learn from other women at a similar stage in life. There's nothing like support from other women to get you through. ❤ #Peanutapp."
But just because Chris’s family knew about the pregnancy and leaked it doesn’t necessarily mean that Chris is the father, and now an inside source is saying otherwise.
The inside source appears to be someone who lives in Delaware, the small U.S. state that Kailyn lives in. They reached out to Teen Mom Mama Drama, the Instagram account that was one of the first to share Kailyn’s pregnancy leak.
“Word on the street kails New [Baby daddy] isn’t Chris,” the insider revealed. “The guys she was/is messing with works at a [blocked] dealership in Dover.”
They added, “This comes from a reliable source.”
Teen Mom Mama Drama asked, “Is [Kailyn] still with him?” and the insider replied, “I know she had told him he was the [baby daddy].”
TMMD added, “Delaware is talking and claiming Chris might not be the only possible baby daddy. Apparently Kail had been seeing another man. I've found him online and will post more once I confirm some additional information.”
This news had fans shocked, and they sounded off in the comments.
“Yo if she goes on to having 4 baby daddies, things really will get ChAoTiC,” one fan wrote. Another wrote, “From Kail nothing surprises me anymore.”
But fans weren’t the only ones sounding off in the comments… only one day later, Kailyn turned up to defend herself!
She wrote:
“It looks bad that I have 3 baby daddies. I get it. But I don’t sleep around and anyone close to me f*cking knows that. I don’t say sh*t when outlets report FACTS. Things I cannot dispute. But this is low. Please, stop spreading blatant lies about me.”

Baby Bonus: How Much Kailyn Lowry Has Made Off Her Fourth Baby
With Teen Mom being on air for as long as it has, it should be no surprise that numerous fan theories have evolved over the years. Many times, these theories are grasping at straws, or can’t be confirmed by any evidence by the cast members or the show itself... but it looks like one of the most extreme and shocking theories may have some basis in the real world.
Many members of the Teen Mom fan community have often discussed the possibility of a “baby bonus,” meaning that MTV executives bribed cast members with an under-the-table payment for every time they got pregnant. Many fans believed that this is the reason that so many of the girls have had multiple pregnancies over the years.
But there’s more money that comes from Teen Mom pregnancies than just from MTV. And now that Kailyn Lowry has confirmed her fourth pregnancy, all of this is coming back to the spotlight.
When Kailyn Lowry was pregnant with her third child, she did everything in her power to keep the news a secret. She denied the pregnancy for weeks after news broke, and even after it became obvious she was pregnant, she refused to tell fans who the baby daddy was.
This time around, she's admitting to it!
It’s true that the Teen Mom world is notorious for spreading fake pregnancy rumors. From girls wearing baggy clothing that may resemble a baby bump to complaining about nausea that could be morning sickness, it doesn’t take much. But this time, Kailyn herself is confirming her pregnancy!
As for her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez, he and Kailyn were never really in an official relationship when she got pregnant! That's probably why Kail went to such lengths to keep secret who she was having a child with, even though that didn't work out for either of them in the long run.
Considering her history of baby daddies, it's no wonder that fans are so shocked who she's having her fourth child with!
It’s no secret that Kailyn has been open to having another child. She’s shared numerous times that she wants to have a big family, and that she would love to have her first daughter.
Luckily, unlike her situation when she was 16 and pregnant, Kailyn can afford to raise another child. It might not be considered the best idea by many fans, especially since those MTV paychecks will inevitably stop coming at one point or another. But with her recent haircare line Pothead launched, Kailyn should have enough money to take care of herself and her big family when her fame ends.
And now, it looks like that will be a family of five.
At first, Kailyn herself wasn't sharing the news. But someone close to her leaked the story: the family of the man who got her pregnant.
And how do we know this family, you ask? Well… It appears that the baby daddy is none other than Chris Lopez himself!
Kailyn and Chris’s relationship hasn’t exactly been a romantic love story before or after Kailyn gave birth to their child, Lux. Do you think it will change since they are apparently having another child together?!

As if this wasn’t enough, the nails in the photo clearly matched up to Kailyn’s nails on her Instagram back in December.
Now, we have Kailyn confirming all of this is true!
But even though this news was leaked weeks ago, Kailyn remained silent on the topic. Even though she skirted around the news, she did indirectly acknowledge all the rumors, implying that people didn't know the full story.
Her reluctance to confirm the news had fans wondering if Chris's Aunt made all of this up for attention. But now, there's no question in anyone's mind.

Now, fans and experts are trying to break down exactly how much money Kailyn made from this post!
Although it’s safe to assume that Kailyn may have made a little more than an average joe, Influencer Marketing Hub’s Instagram Money Calculator estimates that Kailyn only made $7,776-$13,100 from her announcement.
However, experts at Vox estimates that she may have made quite a bit more. "Influencers with up to 1 million followers can get $10,000 [per post], depending on the platform, and 1 million followers and up, you’re getting into territory where they can charge $100,000,” the outlet reports. “Some can even get $250,000 for a post! Especially if the content is on Youtube and the influencer is in the gaming industry."
It’s pretty unlikely that Kailyn got anywhere near $100,000, but it’s safe to say she made a good chunk of change. Meanwhile, fans discussed the ethics of paid pregnancy announcements on reddit.
“I’m surprised Kail took such a low bid tbh; really says where her financial situation is at that she announced for $10k on Instagram and not a higher price through some tabloid source,” wrote retroverted_uterus.
User Lalablacksheep646 wrote, “I doubt this is how she announced it to her close friends or whatever so I don’t see what the big deal is. People act like this is how her boys found out or something.”
