Miley Cyrus is reportedly pregnant and preparing to become a mom at 22 with new boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger.

A source indicated that Miley Cyrus found out she is pregnant close to a month ago, though she has kept the news as private as possible.

“In late October, she mentioned that her period was late,” a source told Life & Style. “She took two pregnancy tests. One came back negative — and the other came back positive. Friends are convinced she’s in the early stages of pregnancy.”

The pop star has been dating Schwarzenegger — the son of Arnold and Maria Shriver — for a little while now. They were seen attending a football game between Cal and USC in mid-November, where photographers caught them sharing a kiss. Sources say they have actually been dating for several months before going public with their relationship.

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger have a bit of history together. They reportedly had a few dates in 2011, but the relationship did not go any further. Miley and Patrick reportedly remained close during that time, and rekindled their romance this year.

If Miley Cyrus is pregnant, she appears to be getting a lot of support from her new boyfriend. Miley and Patrick were spotted at a friend’s wedding getting close in a photo booth, with Patrick even playfully licking Miley.

Sources say that Patrick Schwarzenegger has also turned his skeptical parents on to the idea of him getting serious with Miley.

“Patrick has done a marvelous job in turning Maria from being violently opposed to now saying she’s a sweet girl and she was really mistaken from not knowing her and only knowing about her from her press,” a source said.

This is not the first time that rumors have circulated that Miley Cyrus is pregnant. Celebrity gossip outlets reported many times over the course of her relationship with Liam Hemsworth that Miley was expecting, including one far-fetched report that she was joining a pregnant Snooki and Kourtney Kardashian about the celebrities raising their babies together.
