Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry confirms she secretly welcomed her fifth child

Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry has revealed she's welcomed her fifth child.

Lowry joined 16 and Pregnant in 2010 and later appeared on Teen Mom 2, before leaving the series in 2022.

The now 31-year-old has since let slip she's added a fifth child to her brood and fans are over the moon.

Lowry is already a mom of four to Isaac, 13, Lincoln, nine, Lux, six, and Creed, two. She shares Isaac with ex Jo Rivera, Lincoln with ex Javi Marroquin and Lux and Creed with ex Chris Lopez.

The 31-year-old revealed she was in a new relationship with boyfriend Elijah Scott in May 2022.

During an appearance on the podcast Baby Mamas No Drama with Vee Rivera, Lowry and host Aurora Culpo discussed Culpo's new reality show The Culpo Sister which premiered in early November 2022.

Lowry said: "I actually watched - I first came across your show [when] I was in the hospital having one of my kids.

"The first episode that I saw was, I believe, you told your parents that you were, maybe, separating or divorcing and then one of your sisters was going to watch your kids."

Fans were quick to realise that this means Lowry's had another child. It would have been either in November if she watched the series as soon as it premiered - which would make her fifth child around eight months old - or slightly after.

Fans of the Teen Mom star have flocked to social media in excitement over the news and theorising why the mum's kept her fifth child a secret for so long.

One Instagram user said: "Congratulations Kail!! Hope you are enjoying all the baby cuddles and love with your family."

Another added: "Wait wait she’s had another baby and kept it secret?!?!"

While a third said: "People asking 'why is she hiding the baby?' and meanwhile 75 percent of the comments are people being critical of her and her family."

And a fourth resolved: "I’m seeing stuff about Kail Enews and people saying she had a 5th baby who tf cares even if she did lol 😂 she supports her children, her children are very well cared for & she’s a damn good mom! And she’s hot af!!!
