In the Hollywood-obsessed culture, a female celebrity who has packed on pounds often gets blasted with pregnancy rumours. The latest victim of pregnancy rumours is Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton.

Many are wondering that Kate could be pregnant with boyfriend Justin Verlander's child after she was spotted wearing an amorphous outfit recently. Celebrity gossip and entertainment Web site Gossip Gorrilla shared Upton's picture on its account on Twitter. In the picture, Upton had a beaming smile. The American model and actress who just turned 22 in June was seen in a printed orange dress. She also donned a pair of flats in gold colour. Upton's blonde hair was tied in a bun at the back and she was wearing smokes.

According to The Hollywood Gossip (THG), Upton was shopping with fellow model Lily Aldridge when she was photographed in the dress that has sparked the pregnancy debates because she has "packed on some pounds." Some people even suggested that Upton may be following the footsteps of her sister Christie, who just gave birth, THG further reported.

Another news article by E! Online showed a picture of Kate during a date night with her beau. She appeared to be clutching her bag in front of her stomach.

The pregnancy rumours didn't stop there. When Kate attended the Detroit Tigers game against the New York Yankees, she was wearing an all-white ensemble. It was pretty noticeable that she may have really gained some weight and it didn't escape the eyes of several spectators who also watched the game.

All these tweets about Kate Upton looking "fat" at the game tonight just shows that girls get jealous when other girls are better looking.

It wouldn't be the first time that Kate has been rumoured to be carrying a child. When she was still dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy in 2013, Kate has already been wretched with pregnancy rumours. Similar to the current scenario, Kate was wearing a loose-fitting outfit and that was when pregnancy rumours gathered pace, a news article by Celebdirty Laundry stated.

Kate has not yet addressed the issue.
