Rumors have been swirling that Vanderpump Rules star Brittany Cartwright is expecting her first child with husband Jax Taylor. Co-star and BFF Kristen Doute added major fuel to the rumors after posting a video that showed Brittany hanging out in a bikini but covering her stomach from the camera.
Kristen posted a video to her Instagram stories of her and Brittany hanging out on a lake in Kentucky. While the song “Meant to Be” by Bebe Rexa played in the background, Doute panned around the boat to show the assembled group, which included Jax, and Kristen’s current boyfriend, Alex Menache.
Kristen wore an orange one-piece swimsuit with a pair of gold necklaces while hanging out on the boat in Lake Cumberland. Her dark, wet hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. She finished the look off with a pair of flat-top tortoiseshell sunglasses.
Brittany sat on the side of the boat in a blue swimsuit with her hair pulled up in a top knot and a pair of black sunglasses covering her eyes. But it wasn’t the outfit that had people speculating. The Vanderpump Rules star sat with a matching blue towel that she has wadded up in front of her stomach.
She further covered her midsection with her arm during the clip while she smiled happily for the camera. At one point she even appeared to check the towel to make sure it was covering her up.
While it could just be the desire to hide a part of her body that she may be insecure about, commenters speculated that Brittany was trying to cover up a baby bump.
“She’s definitely pregnant. Kristen’s live video shows Britney [sic] with a towel over her stomach. And then she looked down and made sure it was covered up when she knew she was on video,” commented one person on the accompanying Instagram post.
Others took issue with the speculation.
“This is literally the first time I have ever commented on a celebrity account, and it’s to say that as a woman who had a long road to getting pregnant, nothing is worse than people always assuming or asking if you are pregnant. Mind ya business,” wrote one follower.
Kristen and Alex flew to Kentucky to reunite with their friends and former co-stars. Brittany and Jax have been staying in Kentucky after her mother became ill after a botched surgery, as The Inquisitr previously reported.
