Kardashian viewers eagerly tuned into Monday night’s show expecting some BIG news.
After months of speculation, it was anticipated that the two-part special would finally see the announcement of Kylie Jenner’s ‘pregnancy’.
And there was exciting news of a baby on the way – just not from the 20-year-old. Instead, E! viewers saw the moment older sister Khloe told the family that she and boyfriend Tristan Thompson are expecting.
Khloe, 33, decided to share her baby news at a barbecue with the Kardashians, Jenners and Tristan’s family. Basketball star Tristan tells gathered family and friends: “I think it’s perfect timing that my family’s here and all your family’s here to unite as one. And we have an announcement. KoKo, wanna throw the hammer down?”
Kylie and sister Kendall couldn’t be at the barbecue, so Khloe and sisters Kim and Kourtney decide to FaceTime them to share the exciting news.
Khloe tells Kylie: “Well you missed the barbecue and I really wanted to tell you something.” Kylie, who is rumoured to be expecting her first child with boyfriend Travis Scott, immediately asks: “Are you pregnant?”
Khloe exclaims: “I’m pregnant!” “Stop! Are you kidding because I’m going to cry?!” Kylie squeals. “I’m so happy for you! And Tristan!” In the first of the two-part episode, mum Kris revealed she was worried about Kylie’s “certain situation”.
During Keeping Up With The Kardashians on Sunday night, the momager learned that one of her employees was taking pictures of Kylie at home.
“I really feel bad for Kylie because there’s always somebody that’s trying to exploit a certain situation,” Kris said on the show. “To have somebody in her own home trying to snap pictures they shouldn’t be snapping is really, really stressful.
“You want to be able to trust the people that you’re surrounded by, but we have to really be on alert at all time, and that’s extremely upsetting when you feel like you can’t be in your own bedroom or bathroom.” On Friday night, Twitter was absolutely convinced that Kylie was in labour – because of a leak.
Kylie, who is yet to confirm her pregnancy, was thought to be giving birth to her first child at Cedars-Sinai hospital in LA.
Several sources claimed that Jenner’s baby was on the way including a text message thread that was thought to have come from someone in the hospital.
It’s also thought the speculation may have been sparked by a clue from Travis Scott.
A screenshot of Scott’s Snapchat from a private jet circulated on Twitter.
It read: “Make it home to ya one way or another.”
But it turned out the Snap was just a hoax as it was actually posted in December.
Wherever the speculation started, fans were convinced that Kylie is preparing to welcome her first child. So far, neither Kylie nor any of her famous relatives have commented on the rumours.

But then again, they’ve barely commented on the pregnancy in the first place – let alone confirm it.
Meanwhile, Kylie has been baby-proofing her home and putting the final touches to the baby’s nursery. She has been keeping an unusually low-profile ever since the rumoured news was announced last summer.
But while Kylie has kept tight-lipped about the rumours, US sources close to the family have been dishing details. “The nursery is done,” a source told Us Weekly on Thursday.
The insider also says she’s already booked a baby nurse, adding: “She’s a go-getter like her mother. No way she waited long to set that up!” And her mansion is already being baby-proofed, with the source continuing: “Anything sharp has already been taken out.”
Earlier this week sources also revealed why the reality babe has decided to keep such a low profile.
“She’s very happy about the pregnancy but she doesn’t want to share this with the world,” a source shared. “Her not being out is strictly personal preference. She wants to keep this one aspect of her life private.”
“She spent her adolescent life on television and has been famous for over 10 years now. If this is the first thing she wants to keep to herself, she should be allowed that.”
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Kylie’s baby daddy Travis Scott has dumped the make-up entrepreneur. It’s thought the relationship was over just days after they were photographed together at Kris Jenner’s Christmas Eve party.
“Kylie really thought her future was with Travis and the baby, so the split came as a huge surprise,” a source told Heat .
“She’s going through a very dark time with her mood swings and changing body shape, plus her romance is in ruins, so she’s decided she needs a change and has always loved New York.” The source added that Kylie was unhappy because of how “uninvolved Travis has been” in her pregnancy.
The 20-year-old star has been linked to 25-year-old Travis since April 2017.
Rumours began to swirl five months later that the couple were already five months pregnant with their first child.However, despite months of speculation, no one has confirmed if the reality star and rap hunk are really expected to be parents.
And it would seem Travis is happy to keep the rumour mill spinning. “They’re just guesses. Let them keep fishing,” Travis told Billboard magazine recently.
The rapper also played dumb when asked by the music magazine if he had asked his own father for tips on fatherhood, replying with: “Uh… for what?”
