Courtney Kardashian may be on the brink of engagement, and Justin Bieber might be basking in marital bliss, but there’s an intriguing thread connecting them: Could Justin possibly be the father of Courtney Kardashian’s third child? What exactly has Courtney revealed about Reign’s biological parentage?
Recently, social media star Paige McClosky reignited long-standing speculation about Justin Bieber’s role in Reign’s life, suggesting he might be the biological father instead of Scott Disick.
Paige took a stroll down memory lane, dissecting the timeline of Courtney’s third pregnancy. Reign was born on December 14, 2014, which would place the conception around March of the same year. Around this time, rumors swirled about Scott’s wild partying and apparent neglect of his responsibilities towards Courtney. Fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will recall Courtney’s struggles during her last pregnancy, marked by Scott’s conspicuous absence. Paige floated the idea that Courtney and Scott might have been on a break at the time, each exploring other relationships.
So, who was Courtney spending time with during this period of turmoil? Some speculate it might have been Justin Bieber. Justin’s association with the Kardashians goes back to a photo shoot with Kim Kardashian in the Bahamas in 2010, and he has since remained on friendly terms with the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
In December 2015, multiple sources confirmed that Courtney had indeed been spending time with the pop sensation for several months. “Justin started hanging out with Courtney solo because she was venturing out more. He’s been treating her to some good times,” one insider disclosed to US Weekly. At that time, news of Courtney and Bieber’s camaraderie emerged, the reality star had been single for a while following her split from Scott in July 2015. So, when Courtney was seen with Bieber, it didn’t raise many eyebrows, except for the noticeable age gap.
In 2016, whispers of a fourth pregnancy began circulating. Numerous media outlets reported that Courtney was expecting her fourth child. However, the burning question of paternity stirred the most controversy. Despite their separation, Scott was actively attempting to mend fences with Courtney, holding out hope for reconciliation, naturally positioning him as a potential father candidate. The plot thickened as Courtney and Justin Bieber continued to spend considerable time together, leading many to speculate that the then 22-year-old singer might be the father.
According to an article in Morning Ledger, Scott felt uneasy about Courtney’s fourth pregnancy, interpreting it as her way of getting back at him. This suggests that Scott likely harbored doubts about the baby’s paternity, and perhaps not just this one, as he seemingly had suspicions regarding Reign as well.
Reacting to Paige’s video, one fan disclosed that Courtney declined to undergo a paternity test for Reign when Scott broached the subject. In December 2017, reports surfaced that Courtney declined to pursue a DNA test when Scott voiced his concerns. Scott’s chief concern revolved around the paternity of Reign. Initially confident in his fatherhood, Scott’s confidence waned as Reign matured, bearing little resemblance to him. What really irked Scott was when family members noted Reign’s dissimilarity.
The article’s most dubious aspect arose when a source confirmed Courtney’s refusal to entertain the idea of a DNA test for Reign following Scott’s confrontation. She adamantly dismissed any notion of Reign being someone else’s child. Amidst their heated exchange, Scott proposed a DNA test, only to be met with Courtney’s refusal, intensifying his suspicions.
Some speculate that Courtney’s refusal could be a tacit admission of paternity. Despite Courtney’s fourth pregnancy turning out to be false, Scott remained skeptical of his fatherhood to Reign, understandably so.
While many fans rally behind Justin, asserting his commitment to fatherhood, Paige suggests a different narrative, proposing that the Kardashians may have struck a clandestine agreement with the singer. Considering their penchant for image management, they might have incentivized him financially or simply kept him in the dark about the truth.
It’s also intriguing to note that Reign was not shielded from public view compared to Courtney’s other children, with his first public appearance on social media occurring four months after his birth. Perhaps the motive behind this secrecy was to conceal any striking resemblance between the newborn and Justin during the speculated timeline.
Another commentator in Paige’s video suggests that Justin began spending time with Courtney around December 2015, potentially to be present for Reign’s first birthday, which would align with his desire to be involved in the child’s life. If Justin missed out on being present for Reign’s birth, being there for his first birthday could have been a meaningful gesture.
Moreover, Justin’s 20th birthday in March 2014 falls within the timeframe when he was already acquainted with the Kardashians, making it plausible that he could have celebrated with Courtney that year, given Reign’s December birthday. It’s conceivable that Reign was conceived around this time, adding another layer to this intricate narrative.
