The rumour mill was sent into a frenzy this week spouting totally unsubstantiated claims that the 'real dad' of Kourtney Kardashian's son, Reign, was none other than Justin Biber.
A few days back (31 March), Reign himself - who is the youngest of Kourtney and her ex-partner Scott Disick's three children - came forward to address the bizarre rumour on social media.
Following the 10-year-old's comments denying the unfounded rumour, mum-of-four Kourtney has come forward to confirm that the recent conspiracy is totally 'ridiculous'.

A source told US Weekly: "Kourtney doesn’t give any heed to the reports that Justin is Reign’s father. She thinks it’s ridiculous and laughs that people online would even believe that."
And now, fans of the 45-year-old reality TV star have come in clutch to make a point to shut the 'insane' rumours down once and for all.
Sharing side-by-side snaps of Reign and a much younger Scott, one Reddit user hit out: "Idk how people still speculate Justin Bieber being Reign’s dad when he’s the child that looks and acts the most like Scott."

"Wow I’ve never seen that pic of Scott. They are twins," chirped a second.
Remarking on the uncanny resemblance between the father-son duo, a third joked: "Now that I’m looking at Reign and Scott… did Kourtney even try?!"
"Right?! Me neither. I can’t believe people still question Scott’s paternity when this picture exists," agreed a fourth. "One quick Google search to confirm there’s no way that’s not Reign's father."

A fifth chimed in: "He’s literally Scott’s double idk how people think he’s not Scott’s kid."
"I never understood the 'Reign is JB’s son' rumours," declared a sixth. "Pictures of Scott as a kid have circulated around for years and it’s obvious that Reign looks just like him.
"Not only that, but that kid acts JUST like Scott and literally always has lmfao. People are just stupid and parrot anything they hear/see online lol."

And it's clear it's not just the physical resemblance between the pair which has fans calling out the 'insane' rumours as a few also pointed out the inaccuracies with the theories that Justin is Reign's biological father given speculation that he and the POOSH founder had a short fling in 2015 following her split from Scott.
However, as we know, Reign was born the year prior in 2014 - so this theory remains pretty unfeasible.
"Wasn’t Kourtney spotted with Justin AFTER Reign was born? Smh… People can’t do simple math or don’t know basic biology I guess," slammed another.

And a final Redditer echoed: "Yes, one year after Reign was born. Ppl suck and can’t even do research before they run with these insane rumours."
