Is the star of the popular ABC Family show, Pretty Little Liars, Ashley Benson expecting? Rumors speculating this have started up after Benson allegedly appeared to have a baby bump in some pictures that she posted to her Instagram account on Thursday.

Although some say she seemed to look pregnant in the pictures that she uploaded, Benson, 25 years of age, clarified the rumors by saying that she is not pregnant. After she shared the pictures, Benson also shared a video clip of her co star, Ian Harding, rubbing a fake pregnancy bump on Twitter.

She also retweeted the post of a fan, which read: "some people actually think Ashley benson is pregnant fjndirntmeksccx".

Taylor Blackburn who portrays Benson's boyfriend in the series, Caleb Rivers, also laughed at the pregnancy rumors. After Benson's postings, he shared a picture of himself wearing the apparently prosthetic bump, with Benson kissing his stomach. The image was captioned "Second trimester".

The director of Pretty Little Liars, Norman Buckley, joined in on the gag as well, sharing the image of Benson's fake belly on his Instagram on Thursday and captioning the post: "Who would have thought? And at my age?"

Although the cast and crew members of the show have made it quite clear that Benson will not be a mother off of the small screen, the cluster of posts featuring the prosthetic baby belly have made Pretty Little Liars fans wonder whether or not Benson's on screen character, Hanna Marin, will be revealed to be with child next season.
