Growing up in the public eye has seemingly given 10-year-old Reign Disick the courage to speak out on gossip surrounding his family.
And this week, he's used his voice to address rumours that Justin Bieber is his 'real dad'.
For those in need of a reminder, the California youngster is the third child of mum Kourtney Kardashian and her former long-term partner Scott Disick. The couple split in 2015, shortly after Reign's birth, following nine years of on-again-off-again romance.
Kourtney, 45, and Scott, 41, are also parents to 15-year-old son Mason and daughter Penelope, 12.

Despite The Kardashian-Disick brood always maintaining that Scott is Reign's father - with no indication ever having suggested it is anyone else - it hasn't stopped fans of the family noticing somewhat of a resemblance between the pre-teen and singer Justin Bieber.
The Canadian musician, 31, has been known to have a close relationship with the family, being similar in age to Kendall Jenner - who also happens to be pals with his wife, Hailey Bieber.
Some conspiracy theorists claim that Reign's appearance seemingly mirrors that of the 'Baby' hit-maker, with some bizarrely demanding a paternity test on the child.

And while you mightn't expect such an outlandish rumour to reach the ears of the stars it involves, Reign has this week addressed the hotly-debated gossip during an Instagram Live.
On Monday (31 March), Reign sat with Alabama Barker - the daughter of mum Kourtney's husband, Travis Barker - and her boyfriend, Scooter Jackson, where he insisted he has no relation to Bieber.
"Bro, I swear," he allegedly began during the live video, as per E! News. "Justin Bieber’s not my dad."

Reign went on to explain: "I think Justin Bieber was 16 when I got born." Though it's worth noting the chart-topper was actually 20.
"Yeah, I don’t think my mom would do that," he added.
His statement comes just weeks after another of Kourtney's children - Reign's big brother Mason - also became the subject of an astounding internet rumour.
Last month (2 March), it was alleged that the teenager had become a father behind the scenes.

Mum-of-four Kourtney was even forced to address the speculation at the time, releasing a brutal Instagram statement.
"I rarely address rumors or conspiracies regarding myself or my family," the reality TV star penned.
"But this is about my child and it feels wrong to let anyone think for a second that these lies are remotely true."

Kourtney continued: "They are not. Mason does not have a child. These accounts that pretend to be him are definitely not.
"They are FAKE."
She added: "My son really values his privacy, and I am asking all media to please be respectful: he is a kid with feelings and a beautiful life ahead of him. Please stop spreading false narratives and spinning lies."
Finishing off her social media plea, Kourtney said: "And to all the other people making videos about my kids (who, by the way, are minors), please stop and leave them alone."
Tyla has contacted representatives for Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick for comment.
