Model Khloë Terae, who’s graced the pages of MAXIM, Sports Illustrated, FHM, and Women’s Fitness, apparently decided to add “prankster” to her resume. The Playboy Cybergirl of the Year star took to Instagram to seemingly announce another pregnancy to her 4 million followers. The mom of two, who just welcomed son Wolf in January, posted a bathroom snap of a positive pregnancy test, with her 2-year-old daughter, Ocean Rose, making a cameo in the background.
“3 under 3 here we come 😭😭😭🤍🙏🏼,” the 32-year-old captioned the April 1 post, implying she’s pregnant yet again. As she showed on Instagram Stories, she also sent the photo to her partner, Nathan Hanslip. He reacted there was “no f—ing way” and “0 chance” that’s possible and joked with Terae about aiming for “5 under 5.”
Onlookers Roast Khloë Terae: ‘If This Is a Joke, Just Know It Is a Sick Joke’
Terae hasn’t made it explicit if she’s serious or joking, many onlookers assumed, given the date and casual phrasing, she was pulling her fans’ legs.
Of course, offended parties took to the comments to mercilessly roast the model.
“How do people still not know that pregnancy is the one topic not to make an April Fool’s joke about. Baffles me,” one top comment read. “If this is an April Fools this is poor taste; pregnancy should not be joked about. It could be upsetting to many people,” another comment echoed. “If this is a joke, just know it is a sick joke,” a third disgruntled onlooker chimed in.
Other Fans Rallied to Khloë Terae’s Defense
However, other onlookers felt that anything goes on April Fool’s Day.
“If this is legit, congratulations! (And brace yourself!! LOL),” one fan wrote before adding, “If it is a joke, don’t let the uptights get you down. It’s April Fools Day, and you’re allowed to have fun with those that follow you and, more importantly, your friends online.”
That said, maybe a more serious comment under her post should have the last word.
“As someone who has had 6 miscarriages and had a son pass away last year when he was one month old, making April Fools jokes like this is incredibly insensitive,” the upset yet thoughtful onlooker wrote. “I like you, and I’ve enjoyed following your story, but this was really disappointing to see, and I hope you never have to endure the agonizing pain of losing a child or struggling to get pregnant/keep a pregnancy. This post will no doubt offend many women who follow you and look up to you,” they added.
