Guys: Baby #ChyRo Is Coming

by Michelle McGahan

Breaking news from the Kardashian-Jenner camp: Blac Chyna is pregnant! After several days of speculation (aka TMZ sources revealing she is expecting), Rob Kardashian's fiancée confirmed the exciting baby news on Instagram, sharing an image of a pregnant Blac Chyna emoji, appropriately captioned with the baby emoji and that one that's like a party hat filled with confetti (I don't know). While an endless sea of questions swirl around the couple's shocking announcement (What do the Kardashian-Jenners think? How quickly was this baby even conceived?) the most pressing is undoubtedly this: When is Blac Chyna due?

Considering most women wait until 12-14 weeks to announce their pregnancy (and a TMZ insider claims that Chyna is "several months along"), we can deduce that #BabyChyRo was conceived some time in late January or early February — and is therefore due sometime around October 2016. Since Chyna and Kardashian only went public with their relationship in late January (and got engaged several months later, in April), it's clear that this couple is not one to wait around for anything. Talk about a whirlwind romance!

This will be the first child for Kardashian — though Chyna, of course, is already mom to King Cairo, 3, with ex-fiancé Tyga. Since Chyna and Kardashian are now having a baby, this immediately makes their already-confusing family dynamic even more complicated: This child will be King's half-sibling, and will further make Kardashian and his half-sister Kylie Jenner some kind of pseudo step-parents-in-law, since Jenner is dating Tyga. As a matter of fact, Jenner has a weirdly dual familial role here: Both she and Kardashian are parental figures to King, since they're each dating one of his parents — but now Jenner will be an aunt to #BabyChyRo, while also kinda like a step-mom to his half-sibling.

What's incredible about the Kardashian family, however, is just how accepting they are. So no matter how unusual their family dynamic is, family always comes first — and you better believe that this baby will be loved and adored by all of his or her aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents and pseudo-aunts and whatever you want to call them. Just like Tyga and Chyna's son, he or she will fit right in with the Kardashian-Jenner clan. I can see #BabyChyRo stirring up some harmless fun with North, Penelope, Mason, Reign, and Saint already.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
