Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry admits she ‘could end up pregnant next year’ with baby #5 just months after debuting new boyfriend
TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry has admitted that she could welcome her fifth child as soon as next year, amid speculation that she's already expecting,
Rumors have circulated that the reality star is pregnant with her boyfriend, Elijah Scott's baby.
The Teen Mom 2 alum got right to it with the baby talk, as one fan asked if she wants more children in the future.
She explained her plans: "I don't know, but I want to get my tubes tied. I guess whatever happens first…I would like to get my tubes tied this year, actually."
Kailyn is already a mom to four sons: Isaac, 12, with her ex-Jo Rivera; Lincoln, eight, with her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin; and Lux, four, and Creed, one, with her ex-Chris Lopez.

She continued: "I think the more time that goes on, the more I just don't want more children because I feel like I'm spreading myself so thin, and all my kids are such different ages that they all need me for different parts of their lives right now. I just don't know.
"I'll update you in the next couple weeks, I have an appointment coming up with my GYN, and I'll see if he will tie my tubes; I don't know."
However, later in the episode, she contradicted her answer, revealing that a fifth child is not off the table.
After a listener asked if the boy mom would ever try for a girl, she shared different thoughts about adding to her brood.
"No, I would never try for a girl. Not because I don't want one, but this depression has truly humbled me and has really taught me that I need to put myself first sometimes, and I can't stay busy 100% of the time because I think once my life slowed down, and I left the show [Teen Mom 2] and things like that, my life slowed down so much so I was forced to kind of deal with the things that I hadn't been dealing with, so I just don't think that now is a good time in my life to have more children.
She went on: "I really just want to be there for the ones that I have. And I'm not saying that that could change - also, I talked about getting my tubes tied this year.
Kailyn then admitted that she's not entirely sold on the idea of not having more children.
"I talk about it, but maybe once I get through this depression, it will be a little different, so don't hold me to that if I end up pregnant next year… maybe next year that could change," she said.
BLOSSOMING ROMANCE
Earlier this week, Kailyn, 30, dropped the news that she and Elijah, 24, are living together after a few months of dating.
On a recent appearance on the podcast , Kailyn addressed how quickly her romance with her new beau has progressed and talked about them starting a family together.
"We've only been together like three months. It happened pretty quickly; I will admit that," the TV star said.
And Kailyn admitted on the podcast she might have a fifth child down the road.
The book author also recently talked about the possibility of having twins as multiples run in her and Elijah's family.
PREGNANCY CLUES
Chatter heightened on social media as some thought they spotted clues that Kailyn's expecting in her posts.
On Thursday, photos of Kailyn and her co-host, Lindsie Chrisley, were shared on the podcast's page.
In the first snap, the duo posed together while relaxing on a sofa.
The MTV alum appeared to be sitting behind Lindsie, 32, as she held a drink in her hand.
In the next photo, the TV personality moved her head closer to Lindsie while holding onto their cups.
The caption stated: "Fun fact, @lindsiechrisley ‘s drink is an alcoholic beverage, and @kaillowry ‘s is pretty water.
"Do you think that once a cheater, always a cheater is accurate or not necessarily? Let us know because we have A LOT of thoughts on this!"
In the comments section, an eagle-eyed fan suspected Kailyn might be pregnant and wrote: "Kaaaiill, please let us know when you do decide to have a little drinky drink again after the baby is born!"
Others had the same thought in an earlier post that the podcast host shared.
One fan responded: "She looks so puffy."
Another fan added: "She never looks this bloated unless she’s pregnant."
A third fan mentioned: "I honestly think it's the weight gain from the pregnancy. Maybe she does get fillers but a lot of it is down to weight."

A commentator chimed in: "I think she looks pregnant here."
Her outfits have also stirred chatter, as many believe her loose tops have been an attempt to conceal a baby bump.
