Devon Werkheiser and Lindsey Shaw’s fanbase is currently looking for answers as the former co-stars spark pregnancy rumors.

On Monday, January 29, 2024, Werkheiser took to his Instagram story to share a picture alongside Shaw. In the photo, the actor was donning a black t-shirt, whereas his former co-star was wearing a yellowish dress while showing off the curves of her figure.

Usually, there wouldn’t be much conversation about former co-stars sharing a picture, but this wasn’t normal. It’s because, in the picture, Werkheiser had placed his one hand on Shaw’s stomach.

Over the photo, he wrote, “Little Ned coming 2024,” referencing his character of Ned Bigby in the Nickelodeon sitcom Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide. Additionally, he had tagged Shaw’s Instagram handle.

Werkheiser’s Instagram story immediately sent his and Shaw’s fanbase into a frenzy, leading netizens to wonder if it was a pregnancy prank or if the two were actually pregnant with a baby. What made things more confusing was that Werkheiser and Shaw aren’t an official couple.

Terms like “Lindsey Shaw pregnant, Devon Werkheiser and Lindsey Shaw pregnant, Lindsey Shaw baby, Devon and Lindsey baby, Devon Werkheiser having a baby, Is Lindsey Shaw pregnant, and Is Devon Werkheiser dating Lindsey Shaw” immediately became trending.

So, what’s the truth? Are Werkheiser and Shaw pregnant with a baby? Are the former co-stars dating? Is Lindsey Shaw pregnant? The answer to all these questions currently remains unanswered as neither Werkheiser nor Shaw have confirmed or denied that they’re pregnant.

As of this writing, the two haven’t said anything about the pregnancy or their relationship status except for that mysterious Instagram story that started everything. Similarly, their respective reps have also not made a comment on the matter.

For now, fans only have theories on what’s going on. Some fan theories say that Werkheiser and Shaw are finally taking steps to confirm they still have feelings for each other, as the two have been rumored to have been dating again for a long time.

Moreover, this reignited romance rumor was further fueled when Werkheiser and Shaw talked about it in a clip shared by Werkheiser via his Instagram story. In it, he asked Shaw if she ever felt weird about how much their fans shipped them together.

Shaw said no, an answer to which Werkheiser also agreed upon. “No, because I can see it, you know what I mean? I can understand. There’s like a natural chemistry there, you know what I mean?” Shaw explained.

She concluded her statement by adding, “And if our parts should end up being out together in the same vicinity… I wouldn’t rush to put clothes back on.”

Likewise, the rumors of their pregnancy come months after the former co-stars admitted to having X-rated fun while working together on Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide — the show is also known as Ned’s Declassified.

During a November 2023 episode of Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide – co-hosted by the three stars of Ned’s Declassified sitcom: Werkheiser, Shaw, and Daniel Curtis Lee – Werkheiser and Shaw got personal and shared some behind the scene secrets.

The secrets started spilling while casually talking about masturbation. As the conversation continued, viewers of the podcast learned that Werkheiser and Shaw had some X-rated fun off-screen that included oral sex on multiple instances.

As the uncomfortable and awkward conversation went on, the two – who were around 15 years of age at the time – revealed that they never got entirely physical, aka had sex. In the end, Werkheiser, now 32, described his and Shaw’s past self as “two horny little 15-year-olds.”

That said, Werkheiser and Shaw’s X-rated shenanigans happened about two years before they began dating. That’s right! Werkheiser and Shaw once dated in the past and eventually called it quits but still maintained a friendly relationship.

During a Reddit AMA in 2017, Werkheiser revealed he dated Shaw during the final few months of Ned’s Declassified sitcom’s final season. This revelation came when the actor was asked if he ever had a thing for his co-star.

He wrote, “Lindsey and I got together the last few months of Ned’s. When we filmed that final episode, we were dating at the time. We dated for over a year after that, and I have a lot of love for her because before that we were such close friends as well.”

Moreover, during her appearance on Christy Carlson Romano’s Kitchen Throwback show, Shaw revealed that she and Werkheiser dated in real life. As she went on, she mentioned that it was one of the highlights of her life.

Shaw stated, “We definitely dated. That was probably one of the highlights of my life. He’s just wonderful. On a Wednesday, we were in my dressing room at lunch. I laid on my dressing room couch, and just like two teenagers, we kissed.”

The actress reminisced the old days and said, “It was amazing! I remember it literally being like the moment, like something you wanted for so long as a kid. [It was] this new visceral experience with another person. It was magical.”

However, it seemed like they were never meant to be together forever, as they eventually called it quits after nearly two years of dating. One of the reasons behind their break up was them having different paths and Shaw’s past drug use as well.

Nevertheless, they later reunited as friends and started Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide alongside fellow co-star Lee. Werkheiser and Shaw’s reunion and seeing their closeness in the podcast eventually led to rumors of them dating again.

The dating rumors are now joined by rumors of Werkheiser and Shaw being pregnant with a baby. As mentioned earlier, the nature of Werkheiser and Shaw’s relationship and whether they’re expecting a baby remains unknown. For now, fans have to wait for the answers.

As for Werkheiser and Shaw’s respective personal lives, there are limited details available. As of February 2024, it seems like Werkheiser is neither married to a wife nor dating a partner. The same can be said for Shaw’s dating life, as it also seems like she doesn’t have a partner.
