Some photos of the couple were released over the weekend that had people wondering if she was expecting. Reinhart quickly took to social media to set the record straight, saying that “It’s unfortunate that one unflattering photo of my stomach circulating the internet causes hundreds of people to think that I’m pregnant. Nope. Not pregnant.”

She went on to explain via Instagram story that she will never apologize for the way that her body looks.

“This is just my body. And sometimes I’m bloated. Sometimes an unflattering photo is taken of me. Sometimes I go through periods of time where I gain weight. My body is something that I will NEVER apologize for. My body will constantly go through change. And so will yours. And that’s fine. So let’s not put so much time and effort into caring about a stranger’s figure.”
