Rumors have been surrounding "Love & Hiphop: Atlanta" couple Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez following the latest news that Joseline may be expecting their first child.

According to Fashion & Style, the latest reports claim that the couple is only faking her pregnancy.  The site reported that the claims revealed that show creator Mona Scott Yong was the one who reportedly "manufactured the pregnancy hoax to keep the reality stars relevant."

The speculations were fueled when the reality star posted some behind-the-scene photos from her latest music video. The pictures showed the reality actress sporting a tight outfit with her hardcore abs visible, without any sign of baby bump.

She captioned one of the images, "#StingyWithMyKuttyKaTT #dangerzone #badbooshnation #PuertoRicanPrincess #BaddestPuta #NewVideo".

However, the site claimed that this may be because the pregnancy is still too early to show.

The news of the alleged pregnancy broke when Stevie J dropped hints during a radio interview with Reggie Brown a few weeks ago. "We got a new addition with the family too, but I don't want to say too much, you know? We're extending the Jordan family if you understand what I mean," said the music producer.

He also posted a photo of himself with R&B legend Johnny Gill caressing Joseline's unnoticeable baby bump.

This, however, is not the first time that the couple's relationship was bombarded with rumors and accusations. They were previously accused of faking their own marriage.

Many believe that the pregnancy news was made in order to raise ratings for "Love and Hiphop: Atlanta" as well as for their upcoming reality spin off series.

According to reports, the couple were offered their own show by the same people behind the "Love and Hiphop" series. They have even reportedly started filming last August and the show is set to hit television later this year.
