AOC is glowing. She’s stunning, evil and dumb, but stunning.
Only 2 reasons for this come to mind.
Either she spent about $100k on her face or she’s pregnant. https://t.co/ORv2NgQIza
A user on X commented:
Her face is a liiiiittle puffy which also makes me thing pregnancy

While another stated:

AOC has yet to address these rumours and remains focused on her legislative duties, which has only fueled public curiosity.
Interest in AOC’s personal life isn’t new; her 2022 engagement to long-time partner Riley Roberts attracted significant media attention.
The couple has not publicly shared plans about having children, and as of now, AOC has no children.
As the 2024 election nears, some suggest that if AOC is pregnant, she might keep it private until after the campaign, considering the possible political impact.
For now, the rumours of AOC being pregnant remain unconfirmed. Unless she chooses to address them, public interest in her personal life will likely persist, highlighting the intersection of personal and political spheres for public figures.
