Conservative commentator Candace Owens has confirmed she is pregnant with her fifth child in the United States, using a social media update on Monday 22 June to dismiss a viral online death hoax and reassure followers that she is 'alive and well.' The outspoken podcaster, who already shares four children with her husband George Farmer, told fans she is expecting another baby boy after several had speculated she might be pregnant.
For context, rumours around Owens' health exploded over the weekend after an X post from fellow podcaster Lilly Gaddis falsely claimed Owens had died. The now deleted tweet alleged that Owens' 'family reached out' to announce her passing and even hinted at suspicious circumstances, linking it to the supposed death of another right-wing figure, Charlie Kirk. That unverified claim spread fast across political corners of social media, triggering a predictable storm of panic, conspiracy theorising and, in some cases, ghoulish celebration.
