He went on: “A baby is a blessing and I am ecstatic for the future. Lincoln is happy, I’m happy, and Lauren is happy. Gonna go on a little hiatus from social media to take all this in and enjoy it with my family and loved ones. For those sending love, thank you! We appreciate it. And to you @lauren3elizabeth thank you for blessing me with another child. We are gonna be amazing parents together.”
4-year-old Lincoln was also in the announcement. He held four sonograms and wore a shirt that read “Super Big Bro.”
As for Kailyn, her response was short: “I knew,” she told Radar. “I wish them the best.”
But fans weren’t all in agreement.
Reddit user clevelandcray was quick to break down all the issues. “All I can think about is trying to coordinate holidays and birthdays when there are so many different families involved. It makes my head spin,” they wrote. “If it’s Kail’s time with Lincoln does he miss this child’s birthday? What if it’s Isaac’s’ graduation? Does Lincoln have to choose between this brother’s event and another siblings event? What about Lux? He’s got two brothers who have other half siblings? Someone help me understand how the f*ck everyone feels connected and loved and not torn in too many different directions!”
“Call me old fashioned but I find it so wrong to have babies so early in a relationship,” wrote user mereltjec. “They will undoubtedly break up eventually and that’ll be another kid with parents who aren’t together. I hate that so many of these people have babies like it’s nothing.”
