Is Snooki Pregnant?

Nicole Polizzi, aka Snooki, keeps trying to smother the circulating rumors of her pregnancy while the circumstantial evidence is piling up – for how long?

The rumors first sprang up at the beginning of February, upon which Polizzi issued a public vehement denial on Good Morning America. Last week the New York Post came up with the information that the 25-year-old reality star is into her fourth month with a baby by her boyfriend Jionni LaValle. When PEOPLE asked for confirmation, Polizzi’s rep said no comment was forthcoming.

But some recent photos of the Jersey Shore star seem to bear out the rumors as she is seen sporting a different clothes style. Inconclusive evidence yet, because no bump is visible, her leopard print blouse is fairly loose – which is a digression from her former preference for tight clothing. Also – caught on film in Jersey City on Thursday – the actress was covering her stomach with a large handbag.
