The Gist:
- A photo went viral in October 2023 that appeared to show Kendall Jenner sporting a baby bump.
- Eagle-eyed fans quickly figured out the real story behind the photo.
- Kendall has been the subject of pregnancy rumors before, and has spoken out about her feelings regarding having kids one day.
As the only member of the Kardashian-Jenner fam without kids, Kendall Jenner has been the subject of pregnancy speculation more than once. The model still has plenty of time to start a family of her own (if she chooses to), but rumors have circulated that there might be another member added to the already large family.
While most of the family's pregnancies have been shared on episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians or Hulu's The Kardashians, youngest sister Kylie Jenner's famous secret pregnancy in 2018 proves that the family is not above asking for a bit of privacy for these big life events.
So, is Kendall pregnant? What's going on? Here's everything to know.
Is Kendall Jenner pregnant?
In October 2023, a viral photo began circulating online that appeared to show Kendall sporting a very noticeable baby bump while wearing a tight black dress.
Fans immediately went wild with speculation, desperate to know if the model was pregnant with boyfriend Bad Bunny's baby.
However, upon closer inspection, eagle-eyed fans eventually realized that the "bump" in the photo was just an optical illusion, as someone also dressed in black happened to be walking behind Kendall at the exact moment the photo was taken.
In other words, you're not seeing a bump on Kendall — you're just seeing someone else standing behind her.
There have been pregnancy rumors about Kendall Jenner before.
Previously, rumors that the oldest Jenner sister might be pregnant followed a conspicuous tweet from her momager, Kris Jenner.
"You got this!!! @KendallJenner," Kris tweeted on March 25, 2021, with a baby bottle emoji.
It wasn't long before the replies to the tweet began filling with fans wondering what Kris could be referring to. Some thought the bottle might be in reference to Kendall's perfume line with Kim's KKW beauty brand, while others jumped to the idea that she might be expecting.
Kendall wasn't expecting at the time, but her mom's tweet was about the then-airing episode of KUWTK, where Kendall was tasked with babysitting most of her nieces and nephews.
Then, in June 2023, in a preview that aired at the end of a Season 3 episode of The Kardashians, a producer specifically asked Kendall about how a "pregnancy is going."
However, it turned out that the producer's question was in reference to Kendall's baby horse, whom she was "expecting" in late 2022, around the time The Kardashians filmed part of the third season.
Does Kendall Jenner plan to have kids?
In April 2022, Kendall told E! that her mom and sister Kylie had been pressuring her to have kids. She also admitted in an episode of The Kardashians that aired in June 2022 that being 26 years old at the time had her feeling like "the day is coming" for her.
But Kendall has also made it clear that she will do what is right for her, and enjoy being an aunt in the meantime.
“I love all of my nieces and nephews — I like that I can give them back,” she joked during the interview with People in 2018.
“I still have years that I want to spend for myself for a little while, but more power to [Kylie], man, she is built for this, she is an incredible mom,” Kendall continued at the time. “There are parts of me that go in and out of [wanting a baby], but I am so OK right now just to live my life. Maybe I’ll have a kid in a couple of years.”
