Yesterday Kim Kardashian West gave a very diplomatic answer to Ellen DeGeneres about why no one in her family has confirmed the pregnancy rumours swirling around Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian. (It’s important to note, however, that Ellen didn’t explicitly name Kylie and Khloé when she asked Kim about this; she just said, “You do have several sisters that are pregnant.”)
“This is how we work in the family,” Kim said, her poker face on. “When there are lots of rumours, we have these family group chats, and we threaten each other’s lives if we speak for the other one so for the safety of my life…. We just decided there’s so much that goes on that we respect each other’s right to speak for ourselves. So I will speak about myself, and hopefully, they can come on and address whatever rumors you might have.”
Instances like this have happened several times since the Kylie and Khloé rumor mill began over the summer. Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kourtney Kardashian have all done interviews where Kylie and Khloé’s maybe-babies were subtly brought up, but they strategically dodged the questions. No one has come out and just straight-up asked the family if Kylie and Khloé are expecting.
Well, until now. Kim appeared on the Late Late Show With James Corden and was asked, point-blank, about her sisters. During a game of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,” Kim was faced with a dramatic choice: Confirm Kylie’s and Khloé’s pregnancies or drink a sardine smoothie. She chose the latter.
“Kim, there have been lots of rumors about your sisters, Khloé and Kylie, being pregnant,” host James Corden said. “Are they true? Yes or no.” Kim, fighting back a smile but saying nothing, swiftly picked up the sardine smoothie and downed it. Check it out for yourself, below (around the 5:55 mark):
