Photos posted on Instagram of Love & Hip Hop star Erica Mena caused speculation that she is pregnant when they revealed what appears to be a baby bump.

Mena was photographed in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 15 when she hosted a party at Club 7. The print and music video model, who is known for her slim figure, wore a skintight green glitter dress but her lower stomach appeared more round and fuller than usual.

Entertainment reporter Ashley Brittney posted a picture of her rubbing Mena's belly on Instagram and captioned the photo "Auntie Ash."

Later on, one of Mena's friends took a picture of her and wrote the caption, "No caption needed."

The following day Mena tweeted, "I'm Laughing so much! I Love this right now. I'm happy."

Mena's boyfriend, co-star Rich Dollaz, was asked to confirm if she is pregnant but instead said he was suprised to learn that Erica might be carrying his child. 

"I don't know about all the pregnancy rumors," Dollaz told TheYBF. "Erica was posting pics on IG from Bar 7 in DC and I'm in Houston. So I guess a convo is def in order when we are back in NY."

When asked to confirm the status of his relationship with Mena, Dollaz added, "We're together on and off. Mostly OFF these days."

Other pictures of Mena taken at the club on Feb. 15 surfaced days later. In the images the reality star is shown drinking directly out of a bottle of Patron tequila. Mena's baby bump pictures are a hoax, according to a report, and she didn't feel bad about the joke when the photos leaked. She laughed about the hoax in a message on Twitter.

"LMFAO! Assume and you make an A$ out of yourself," Mena wrote.

Mena has a son from a previous relationship with Terror Squad rapper Raul.
