Another critic wrote: "The background looks fake."
While a fourth responded: "Hahaha, good catch! And what the f**k is this! The filters make it look like the cover of a cheesy romance novel!"
BABY TIME!
Recently, Kardashian fans revealed a new theory about Kourtney's due date.
Fans believe they spotted another clue and discussed it on a popular Kardashian social media forum.
"With all the speculation about how far along Kourtney is and with Travis on tour, I wondered what the plan was if Kourtney has baby while Travis is away," a fan asked.
"I suppose we could assume Kourtney is planning on being induced, but I would still think getting Travis there, the entire induction process which can be lengthy, and getting him back would be hard to do in a couple days.
"I looked at their tour dates and noticed a couple of gaps in the tour and wonder if that could possibly be scheduled for baby Kravis’s arrival.
"Obviously it could be due to many reasons, but there is a large gap between July 16 - September 1 but this is also when they start their European part of the tour.
"There is also a gap between September 20 - October 2 which seems possible given my personal guesses to how far along she is," they continued.
