KEEP UP, KIM!
KYLIE Jenner surpassed Kim Kardashian reaching 300M Instagram followers, becoming the first woman to do so, while fans are convinced she already gave birth to her second child.
The 24-year-old announced that she is expecting a baby with Travis Scott back in August, although she never disclosed her due date.

While Kylie’s fans have been closely monitoring her social media for any baby updates, the beauty mogul racked up a slew of additional Instagram followers, reaching an impressive 300 million.
Her older sister Kim – who has been known to be the Instagram queen – now falls short with 279 million followers on her page.
This is the second time that Kylie pulled ahead of Kim on her follower count as the reality star reached 200 million followers back in November 2020, as Kim trailed behind with 191 million.
The milestone comes after Kylie took a months-long hiatus from the platform following the horrific tragedy that took place at the Astroworld Festival while her boyfriend Travis, 30, was performing.
The soon-to-be mother-of-two faced heavy backlash from the public over how she and her boyfriend handled the fatal incident, and many blamed them for not taking the matter seriously.
Since, Kylie has only hopped on Instagram occasionally to share promos for her cosmetics line and limited holiday snaps.
Last week, she surprised fans with a glimpse at her growing belly as she shared pics from a photoshoot of her bare baby bump while sporting a crop top and unzipped jeans.
Despite the snap showcasing her very pregnant stomach, fans have continued to theorize that the star has secretly given birth.
FAN THEORIES
The latest clue came from her assistant Maguire Amundsen, who raised speculation when she jetted back to LA from Dallas, prompting followers to wonder if she’d returned to help Kylie with the baby.
Maguire had shared a photo of herself waiting in line for Starbucks at the airport.
And hours later, she shared a photo of a morning sky at 7am, captioning it, “Morning,” with a white heart emoji.
Eagle-eyed users worked out that as Maguire had posted it “10 hours ago” at the time, she was probably in the West Coast.
They flooded Reddit with their theory in a thread called: “Kylie DEFINITELY had the baby!”
One fan wrote: “Her assistant posted this 10 hours ago with the time stamp of 7 AM and if she were in Dallas it would’ve been 9 AM! She’s in the west coast and with Kylie!”
Another added: “Yep now that Kylie had the baby the main assistant is going to be needed to handle all of Kylie’s logistics and help her out with a new routine!”
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
The assistant’s traveling posts are not the first time fans have wondered if the KUWTK star has already given birth, as they have been keeping an eye out for any “clues” supporting their theories.
Late last month, many thought they spotted a major giveaway when they noticed a baby bottle in Travis Barker’s Instagram Story.
The Blink-182 rocker, who is engaged to Kourtney Kardashian, shared a pic of himself watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
There appeared to be a half-filled baby bottle in the photo, while he failed to explain who the bottle belonged to.
MORE CLUES
Days later, fans thought they saw another major clue after a nail artist revealed she gave Kylie a short French manicure.
The reality star is known to sport long, dramatic nails.
Lisa Kon shared a photo of Kylie’s nails on Instagram, writing: “Kylie Jenner chose a classic French manicure to celebrate the New Year.”
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their speculation, with one writing: “These are definitely ‘I’m about to have a newborn nails.'”
Another chimed in with: “Yes! Assuming she helps change diapers and stuff, long acrylics are like a bad scratch waiting to happen.”
Others wondered if Kylie had already gave birth when her three-year-old daughter Stormi was seen wearing a mask during the Kardashian family’s Christmas celebration.
While Kylie and Travis haven’t announced the expected arrival of Stormi’s younger sibling, a source previously told The Sun that she is due in early 2022.
