'Teen Mom 2': Leah Messer Calvert laughs at new baby rumors

Any time that you are a star of a reality show, you are automatically going to be the target of all sorts of tabloid rumors. Of course, this is at times made even worse when the show that you are a star of just so happens to be a part of the "Teen Mom" franchise.

With that, we turn to one of the latest stories starring none other than Leah Messer Calvert. Over the weekend, she posted a photo with a young child that quickly sparked up all sorts of rumors that she had welcomed her third child overall and first with her new husband Jeremy Calvert. So is this true? Far from it. Rather, she posted on her Twitter not long afterwards that the child was actually her first cousin's baby.

At this point, Leah must be getting used to this sort of attention. She has long been popular thanks to "Teen Mom 2," especially when it comes to how heavy of a spotlight is on her personal life. She and Calvert tied the know in an intimate ceremony last year, and now their child should be arriving at some point in the months ahead. (They have been expecting once before, but Leah tragically suffered from a miscarriage.)

What do you think about Leah having to face controversy about her personal life almost everywhere she goes? Be sure to share some more of the latest "Teen Mom" news. Meanwhile, new episodes of the show are slated to air on MTV Monday nights.
