Blind Item: Which Fake Couple Is Having A Baby?

From Blind Gossip:

Add one more celebrity pregnancy to the list! This one is a surprise because their relationship was designed to be just a PR set up. They were scheduled to break up later this year. But they wound up becoming friends with benefits, and before you know it, she wound up pregnant. Although they definitely do not love each other, both care very much about their public image (which is why they were in a faux relationship in the first place). If they keep the baby, there will be a wedding.

They want to hold off on the announcement of the pregnancy until April even though she will probably be showing before then. In the meantime, they’re going to have to rewrite that song: First comes PR… then comes baby in a baby carriage… then comes marriage. OK, maybe the song won’t be a hit… but the baby will sure be cute!

Celebrities! Unplanned pregnancies! Loveless marriages! Man, this blind item has everything!

Ok, let’s get to it: the most popular guess for this item is Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. And by “the most popular guess,” I mean that it’s pretty much the only guess. Apparently, the clues are the “friends with benefits” line, which references that movie that Justin did with Mila Kunis, the “they’re going to have to rewrite that song” bit, which references Justin’s music career, and also many people are saying that Jessica Biel looks pretty knocked up in those photos with that insane engagement ring.

I don’t know though. I mean, I guess it fits. I can certainly see the part where “they definitely do not love each other” could apply to these two, but the thing is that they’ve been together so long. Like, five years long. I couldn’t tell you why Justin has put up with her for all this time, and I couldn’t tell you why Jessica has put up with Justin either, but if it’s all just a PR move, then they need to find new PR people. The relationship hasn’t really helped either of their images at all, has it?

Who do you guys think this could be? Is the “Justin and Jessica” guess too much of a long shot, or did we really just learn why they’ve stayed together for so long?
