Despite Rose holding her tongue, a rep for Chyna told PEOPLE that the couple’s baby news was allegedly leaked prematurely by a member of Kardashian’s family, seemingly to promote their show.

She’s pregnant and she’s with a man that they’re both deeply in love with each other,” Rose says. “To be happy and in love and having a baby and getting married. It’s a great situation to be in.” Rose, who’s gearing up for her new VH1 talk show and just announced the return of her SlutWalk, says she’s happy to put shopping for her bridesmaid dress on hold for the baby. “We’ve got some time for sure,” she says of the couple’s pending nuptials. And though Chyna – who’s been busy with the launch of her CHYmoji app – was by her side at last year’s SlutWalk, Rose says, her pal’s got a great excuse to sit this one out. “She’s going to probably be around 9 months then,” says Rose of the event in Los Angeles on Oct. 1, suggesting Chyna is currently around four months pregnant. “It depends on how she feels. I know she supports me no matter what, but it’s going to be hot! I would hate for her to be out there at 9 months!” Close
