Mary Kate Olsen: Pregnant, Thanks to Heath Ledger?

Could 22-year-old Mary-Kate Olsen be pregnant? That's what the National Enquirer is claiming.

A source close to Olsen, who's been dating New York artist Nate Lowman since the beginning of the year, tells the mag, "Mary-Kate has been looking a lot rounder recently. It is good she has put on weight, because she previously suffered from anorexia, but a lot of people think she could actually be attempting to hide her pregnancy."

While Olsen and Lowman are the two most directly responsible for the possible child-to-be, there was another party who played a role in the alleged pregnancy—deceased actor Heath Ledger, who is believed to have inspired Mary-Kate to start a family before his death in January. Apparently Ledger told Olsen that becoming a father to daughter Matilda Rose was the most rewarding thing he had done.

"Mary-Kate really took Heath's words to heart," the source reveals. "She wanted the same kind of fulfilment in her life that Heath found in his after becoming a dad."

As far as raising a child with Lowman, the insider adds, "She is really happy with Nate and is very excited they will soon be starting their family together."

Hopefully, Mary-Kate can avoid the kind of family tension she's experienced as a sibling in her role as a mother.

“Who even knew that a woman is even capable of sustaining a child on a diet of black coffee and air? Nonetheless, all the best to Mary-Kate and her blessing to be, which will surely be the cutest Sea Monkey ever.”

she was inspred by Heath Ledger not inpregnated by him. read the article better. and most of the time all the magaznes provide is gossip that is false and t is mostly just stress to the people involved so if she is prego then let her tell the good news people really need to learn to respect others privacy
