Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Jade, 30, had positioned her orange clutch in front of her stomach in each shot.
One Instagram user penned: “Anyone else think the bag is being strategically placed????”
Another wrote: “Is there another mini mix coming to town ?!”
Meanwhile, a third said: “Stunning but 🤔 am I too suspicious with the positioning of the bag every time??”
Taking to the comments section, Jade hit back at fans’ speculation, writing: “It appears you can’t put a bag in front of your body without people speculating you’re pregnant lol. I’m not.”
“But if it were me and I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t spend time commenting on someone’s body when you have no idea what that person’s circumstances might be 🤷🏽♀️.”
Other fans flocked to the comments section to get behind Jade, with one writing: “reminder to never comment on someone else’s body especially on her own actual post ?? have a bit more cop on lads.”
Meanwhile, another penned: “Normalize minding your own business and not asking strangers if they’re pregnant just because they’re holding a purse 😀 if someone “looks pregnant” it could also just be bloating- Getting comments like that can be really uncomfortable and hurtful.
