Mother of five:Kailyn Lowry has confirmed she welcomed a fifth child back in November
Baby 5:'Kailyn gave birth to a baby boy on November 20 with Elijah. She has only told close family and friends,' a source close to Lowry said in February to The Sun; seen in May with three of her kids
'Kailyn gave birth to a baby boy on November 20 with Elijah. She has only told close family and friends,' a source close to Lowry said to the outlet.
The newborn joins Lowry's family that includesIsaac, 13, who Lowry shares with Jo Rivera, Lincoln, 9, with ex-husband Javi Marroquin, plus Lux, 5, and Creed, 2, with ex Chris Lopez.
Fans speculated about the child for months.
Talk began in July when her ex Lopez tweeted, 'out here talking bout you'll beat me up now you know you gotta protect the belly stop it.'
Lopez also shared a video where he was talking about the situation, though he never directly mentions Lowry in the tweet or the video.
'Somebody explain something to me, like, as a woman, what posses you to say, "I will really beat you the f**k up,' knowing that, one, you can't fight, two, and you're not like that,' he said in the video.
'Granted, I get it. Your boyfriend's in the car, but why would you want him to get his a** whooped?' he added.
Both the tweet and the video were later deleted, but the speculation continued when she was photographed outside her Delaware home with Scott, which led some fans to comment that she has a 'baby bump.'

She was later spotted in September leaving a Wawa, also seemingly hiding a baby bump, with fans commenting on photos from October and November that she seemed to be hiding a bump.
When she was spotted out again in early January, she appeared to have lost a lot of weight.
Other fans speculated that because she took the last two weeks off in November from her Baby Mamas No Drama podcast, that it was because she was either having or getting ready for the baby.
However, her co-host Vee Rivera said her absence was just a break to spend more time with her sons.
Fans also claimed they could hear a baby in the background of a video she posted showing off her playroom, which was taken just a week after she allegedly gave birth.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted what appeared to be a car seat and a baby bottle in videos Kailyn posted on social media.

Chris added more fuel to the speculative fire when he went off on Kailyn in an Instagram rant, where he revealed she did have a newborn, allegedly named Elijah Rio.
'You claim to be so real so raw but yet you got a whole newborn you should be focused on and yet your trying to create unnecessary drama to cover up that FACT,' Lopez said.
Lowry tried to quell the rumors that she was pregnant back in October, going on an Instagram live session with her fans.
'I’m getting my tubes tied. I’m getting my tubes tied next month so that's gonna be a no,' adding, 'Never gonna try for a girl. Never gonna try for more kids,' and when fans asked why she was breathing heavy she said, 'I'm literally obese.'
Fans also pointed out in a January Instagram Live session that she wore a necklace that said Mom with five sets of initials, but Lowry shot back, 'Those who think the necklace is a dead giveaway, actually it's not. Because I also have five letters on my killr necklace so no, it's actually not a dead giveaway.'
