“Teen Mom 2” star Kailyn Lowry shared a picture of her “baby daddy” as rumors about the identity father of baby No. 3 continued to swirl.

When she was previously asked to name him, she declined to comment. Even though she said she would write a book about her third pregnancy, Lowry refused to give serious details about the father. So how is it possible that she revealed him in a photo? Well, it was joke a joke between her and her friend, Rebecca “Becky” Hayter.

Lowry, 25, shared a picture of her friend on Snapchat Saturday. The two hugged on her couch and Lowry captioned the photo, “Baby daddy showed up.”

In the past, the two sparked dating rumors when they shared a picture of them kissing in July. At the time, she confirmed she split from then-husband Javi Marroquin. But Lowry told Real Mr. Housewife she and Hayter had a platonic relationship.

“Becky and I are just friends. That’s it. We are not in a romantic relationship at all,” she said at the time. “There’s nothing more to it.”

The relationship between Lowry and the father of baby No. 3 is apparently complicated. “I will be telling my story of how I ended up pregnant and about my baby’s father, but, no, I will not be revealing his name,” she said about writing a book on her latest pregnancy during an interview with Real Mr. Housewife Thursday. “It’s a story about the baby and heartbreak.”

She added on Twitter March 6: “Did me dirty and I still wish the best for you.”

While Hayter is not the father, some thought Lowry’s friend Chris Lopez might have gotten her pregnant since she slipped during an Instagram live session when a fan suggested she name her third child Holden. Lowry joked: “Chris would say, ‘I’m Holden the baby!'” She then clarified she was referring to her friend, “Kristen.”

“I am pregnant. I’m sad that I should have known that people in my life would sell me out before I was ready,” she wrote at the time. “Like any normal person, I want it to be a happy time. I wanted this to be a private time so I could be excited while not getting chased by paparazzi and bothered with crazy headlines. Please know this was a choice I made, I already know some won’t agree but I’ve been showered with support by the ones I love since I found out.”

Lowry does not want to reveal the gender of the child until he or she is born.
