Since September last year, fans of Keeping Up With The Kardashians have been speculating when 20-year-old Kylie Jenner's first child will be due - however, there now could be an even bigger plot twist: the baby has already been born. We know the Kardashian-Jenners have managed to stay relevant over the years by using shock tactics so this will come as no big surprise at all to the fans. Kylie has managed to successfully stay top of the headlines for almost half a year now.

The reason why nothing has been confirmed yet is that the family has vouched to never speak for each other. Kim Kardashian revealed to Ellen DeGeneres, "I'm going to break it down. This is how we work in the family. When there are lots of rumors, we have this family group chat and we threaten each other's lives if we speak for the other one." So Kim can't reveal the news for safety reasons - but why won't Kylie come clean? One source told People, "Kylie prefers to stay home. She doesn’t want to be photographed. At the moment, she wants more privacy. She has family and friends come to her house instead so she has company." Just a simple confirmation tweet will do, Kylie!

The Kardashian-Jenners are one of the most recognisable and most followed families in the world, so it's no surprise that their fan base have gone all out piecing together the clues about this new addition to the family. So far - most signs are pointing towards this baby has already been born and we have the proof.

15 Holding Her Small Bump In A Video From Earlier Last Year

The fan theory that Kylie has already gave birth came after this video resurfaced online showing her clearly pregnant belly that she appears to rub. The clip shows her partying at The Beverly Hilton Hotel although she wasn't going wild - still illegal to drink alcohol until she turns 21-years-old. She previously admitted on the reality show, "I've never had a drink before." Kylie has never been pictured getting drunk before so she certainly has the grownup head on her shoulders a mother needs.

Following this video, all her fans started to piece together a new timeline which speculates that she gave birth around Christmas but kept things very quiet. One fan wrote online, "Did Kylie Jenner give birth already!!!????????? Is baby Kylie already on this earth?! I’m so deep in conspiracies I’m going CRAZY!" and another added, "I’m betting my money that she already gave birth."

14 She Has Already Started Wearing Maternity Bras

This Snapchat posted by Kylie sent the rumor mill into overdrive, as she appears to be wearing a support bra for expectant and feeding mothers. Kylie could have stopped any speculation if she wore something else but let's be honest - that's just not her style. One source told Hollywood Life, "Kylie’s very aware that everyone is dying for her to reveal her bump and talk about her pregnancy. She’s loving the attention of everyone wondering about her pregnancy, she’s having fun teasing people."

It looks like she's already taking to motherhood like a pro and following in the footsteps of her older sisters, Kim and Kourtney, when it comes to choosing breastfeeding. One fan wrote, "A conspiracy: Kylie already had her baby and she too busy breastfeeding to take selfies." Sure it's a far-fetched theory but with this mounting evidence it's becoming more likely by the day.

13 Are They All Looking At Kylie's Baby!?

Kim decided to launch a big countdown to Christmas day where she revealed the Kardashian's 25 Days Till Christmas - something they had done before for the fans. The modern pictures showed the whole family having fun but when it came to the big finale - Kylie was nowhere to be seen. Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that most of the family appear to "looking at something" out of the shot. Is it Kylie holding her newborn baby?

One fan on Twitter commented, "'Half of the Christmas card are looking at something. They're looking at Kylie Jenner holding that baby, I'm telling you." Another added, "Y'all, Kylie already had that baby. It's time to accept what you know in your heart to be true: Kylie Jenner's baby is now out in the world making more money than you will ever see in your life." This Christmas confusion has just added to even further speculation - seriously why was Kylie missing?

12 Last September, Her "Bump" Looked Around Five Months

If we are following the romantic timeline of both Kylie and Travis Scott - they first started dating around April last year when they were spotted at Coachella together. Apparently the initial start the relationship was so that Kylie could get back at her ex-boyfriend, rapper Tyga, through making him jealous "by hanging out with other guys." So if Kylie was five months as these photos appear to prove, she would have fallen pregnant with Travis just weeks after they hooked up.

Facing the controversy already surrounding the pregnancy because many believe she's too young, Kylie like hid the pregnancy to avoid any further criticism during these important months of motherhood. Now that we're sure anyone can understand as it appears anything she does will make the national news almost everywhere.

 

11 She Has Only Updated Six Times In The Last Month

Kylie has been enjoying a lot of free time away from the social media app that turned her into a superstar - Instagram. Last year, she could command upwards of $250,000 per post shared with her 100 million followers but now she has cut back massively on her activity. She previously revealed that her social media accounts area a character and not really her, explaining, "There is absolutely a side of me that people don’t know. I’m not myself on Snapchat or Instagram. That’s totally not me."

In the past six weeks, even over the Christmas and New Years holidays, she still only uploaded six photos in six weeks. Pictures that appeared were a promotion for Kylie cosmetics, selfies (face only) and a throwback photo where she can be seen wearing nothing more than a sheet.

10 This Is The Only Year She Hasn't Taken A "Tree Selfie"

Kylie did reveal some big news on her Instagram at Christmas - a 20-feet Christmas tree. She added the caption: "Thank you @jeffleatham & his team for making my XMAS dreams come true! 20 feet of magic! Even more perfect in real life'. The huge festive decoration covered in pink bubbles so fans instantly were led to believe there was a baby girl due very soon.

This has also been the first year that she hasn't treated fans to dozens of selfies in front of the tree which has been a long running tradition of hers. Instead, she chose a comfortable and relaxed Christmas with less bling than usual which we're sure was a relief for her home decor team. It is also believed Travis was by her side to open many gifts together.

9 She Wasn't Allowed On Ice "Heavily Pregnant"

One of the biggest giveaways of the year was when the Kardashian sisters, Kris Jenner, Kim's BFF Jonathan Cheban and the younger kids all appeared for a photo shoot on ice. This was their shoot for the official Kardashian Kristmas (yes, really) but one thing was very obvious... no Kylie? She has never missed a Christmas special since practically birth.

A source told People magazine, "They taped a Christmas special at Kris’ house. Kylie was there, but didn’t ice skate. She kept in the background, but seemed great. Khloé took it easy as well. It was a scheduled taping." How much more evidence do we need, if Kylie couldn't skate she likely would have been very far in her pregnancy, so the whole thing would have been a health and safety nightmare.

8 She Has Been Hiding From The Public Eye For Months

If we look back to 2015 - early 2017, the internet was full of stories about Kylie Jenner and sure the pregnancy news has still kept the fascination going but Kylie is less 'herself'. She hasn't been pictured getting out of a car in a mini dress and stilettos just to pick up a cold drink at 11am and she's cut back on the nude photo shoots. Usually this period during the pregnancy is called "nesting" where an expectant mother will spend more time indoors preparing for the arrival.

Kris appeared emotional when she spoke during an episode of the show about her growing family. She could be seen wiping tears from her eyes, saying, "When your babies have babies it’s magic. It’s the best. The kids bring such joy and it makes everything worth it."

7 She IS At Family Events - But Always In The Background

Kylie HAS been at family events over the festive holidays she just hasn't stood in for many of the pictures. Right now, following these emotional times for her, the supportive sisters will be taking their baby sibling under their wing more than ever.

However, the star still has the selfies and videos with a heavy filter so she is still difficult to see. According to one source at Heat magazine, she fears that her weight gain will open the door for a lot of internet trolls. The insider revealed, "Her big fear is that she’s going to ‘balloon’ like Kim did when she gained over 70lbs. She’s never been a fan of the gym and could never keep up with Khloe and Kim’s crazy workout regimes. She’s shocked by the amount of weight she’s gaining, as she’d always managed to remain quite slim without much effort."

6 Last Time She Posted A Stomach Selfie It Was A Throwback

Every time Kylie has updated a selfie lately, it's always been a throwback. She's been refreshing her most popular pictures or if she shares something new - she adds "Throwback" as a caption. There's a very obvious reason no new body shots are being uploaded lately that we're sure everyone knows about.

Taking a break from the glamourous selfies is a life she's spent a long time dreaming as surprisingly she has always disliked fame. She revealed, "I’m way flashier on Instagram and Snapchat, because I feel like that’s what people want to see and that’s what I’ve always done, so I’m not going to stop. People want to see my cars and my purses. People love fashion. But that’s so not me." Now she has more time alone to be her real self.

5 She Still Promotes Her Brand - But No Body Shots

According to reports from Women's Wear Daily, Kylie earned a staggering $420 million in cosmetic sales in just 18 months. It is also estimated that is everything stays on track (the buzz doesn't look like it will die off anytime soon thanks to a 25% sales hike every year) her brand will hit one billion dollars by 2022.

Before she opened her signature stores, she revealed, "I do want stores, my own store...I think it's time people walk into a store and see Kylie Cosmetics." When quizzed about how long she stay in the spotlight for being a celebrity, she replied, "I can’t do this forever!" Now her social media accounts are mostly all about her brand as she makes plans to retire as a social media model/reality star and reinvent herself as a high-powered businesswoman.

4 Baby Shower or Meet The Baby Party?

When these pictures first emerged online that showed Kylie hosting what appeared to be a baby shower in the garden at her mansion nobody argued that. Now looking back - were these pictures actually of a "Meet the Baby" party and Kylie held this private event to show everyone close to her the newborn? There have been many hints that Kylie is expecting a girl including posting a shot of her pink nails and all these petals in the swimming pool.

One source told People, “Guests received an invitation earlier this week. It was a low-key celebration with family and close friends.” Although there was many paparazzi above in the sky circling the house, Kylie was very savvy and despite being briefly seen through a crack in the marquee - she still went undetected.

3 Has Travis Already Celebrated The Baby With Scott?

Around September last year, when the first rumors started - Travis and Scott Disick went to party it up in Miami. The pair of babydaddies didn't announce any news but they did look like they were certainly celebrating something. Scott, who is the father of Kourtney's three children, would likely be giving Travis some expert parenting advice and also how to survive the 'Kardashian curse.'

Scott has previously spoke about the curse that plagues all the men who are connected to the Kardashian family. Following his and Lamar Odom's (Khloe's ex-husband) rehab stints, Kanye's hospital stint following a breakdown from exhaustion on Rob Kardashian's personal issues - we find it hard not to believe him. Now we will just have to sit and wait - see what fate lies in store for Travis.

2 She Didn't Join Her BFFs For NYE Celebrations

Kylie often spends New Years Eve at a big lavish party with her close friends and family. So it certainly confirmed things when Kendall and Kylie's BFF Bella Hadid was seen partying together but with no Kylie in sight. Surely, she just sat at home with her feet up, holding a nice hot drink and watching all the events unfold on Snapchat. Kylie hasn't been on Instagram since Christmas day when she posted a photo of herself on the cover of Love magazine.

Even if Kylie wanted to sneak into the party she really doesn't enjoy being out in public do to her changing shape. A close insider told People, “Her body is changing and she’s very self-conscious about it. She’s always been insecure that she’s not as curvy or pretty as her sisters.”

1 She Didn't Want To Overshadow Khloe's Big Moment

Khloe has always been in the shadow of her sisters. She's never been considered the most popular of the group and the trolls are extra unkind. When Khloe finally announced her pregnancy, this could have been the sweetest gesture from Kylie as a 'you go first' so Khloe could have her big moment.

Khloe said in an emotional post that the baby news was her "greatest dream realized!" The excited new mother wrote, "I know we've been keeping this quiet but we wanted to enjoy this between our family and close friends as long as we could privately. To enjoy our first precious moments just us... I am so thankful, excited, nervous, eager, overjoyed and scared all in one! But it's the best bundle of feelings I've ever felt in my life!"
