In the nine months since Jinger Duggar married Jeremy Vuolo, the couple has been subjected to so many pregnancy rumors we’ve lost count.
But that’s what happens with pretty much every Duggar marriage.
In Jinger’s case, however, there’s a unique and entirely new controversy surrounding the 23-year-old newlywed’s Instagram photos:
Yes, Jinger wears pants.
That may seem like a ridiculous development for Duggar fans to be obsessed with, as women in the Western world have been wearing pants without controversy for about the past 70 years.
But believe it or not, Jinger is the only woman in her family to publicly rock Levi’s.
Every time a new photo of Jinger wearing pants is posted on social media, it’s met with the Instagram equivalent of wild applause.
Again, it’s insane that clothing with leg holes is considered a big deal for anyone in 2017, but it’s a reminder of the sort of basic freedoms that are denied to the Duggar women on a daily basis.
And Jinger’s latest pants pic (above) has fans freaking out for another reason, as well.
Many swear they see a baby bump on Jinge.
Yes, we know it’s hard to imagine they’re looking at that photo and taking it as a sure sign that she’s knocked up, but that’s exactly what’s happening.
Some commenters not only speculate that she may be expecting her first child, but insist they see a full-blown bump on the TLC star.
Maybe it’s like one of those Magic Eye things from the ’90s, where you have to squint really, really hard and tilt your head or something.
We just don’t see it, to be honest.
Others concede that they don’t see a bump, but point to the fact that Jinger is wearing all black as evidence of the fact that she’s expecting.
Again, a stretch, bit …
If she were really that concerned with hiding a baby bump, we think she would probably just stick to shoulders-up Instagram pics, right?
Eh, what do we know. When it comes to the goings on in Tontitown, Arkansas, or in this case Laredo, Texas, it’s anyone’s guess.
Anyway, the rumors that Jinger Duggar is pregnant are sure to keep coming, and because she’s a Duggar, they’ll eventually be true.
Of course, the pregnancy talk may soon be overshadowed.
The next time Jinger wears shorts, the Instagram avalanche of "YAAAAS, SLAY KWEEN!!!" praise that will ensue will be full-on bedlam.
We live in strange times.
At this point, we would guess that she’s not pregnant, but we know she wants to start a family, so this could change very, very quickly.
As always, you can watch Counting On online to try and figure out whether Jinger and Jeremy are already expecting their first child or not.
And while you’re at it, why the hell Jim Bob has such strong feelings about female attire, whereas Jeremy is cool with shorts and pants.
This is actually a key distinction between them. Wild.
