Clare Crowley hit back at a fan who asked her if she was pregnant when she opened up about her recent nuptials on Instagram.

“I understand the good intentions behind this… but it should never be asked of anyone IMO,” she wrote in her reply. “You never know what a person’s personal/personal health is like. I can promise you this… I will always share what I feel comfortable sharing so you don’t have to ask,” she wrote on her stories, adding a praying hands emoji.

The speculation may have been sparked by Claire, 41, revealing children were already in her life after a fan asked if she planned to start a family in the future.

“Children are my gift,” she replied.

After fans expressed confusion over the response, Claire, who recently married Ryan Dawkins after three months of engagement, she clarified that she is now actually a stepmom.

“Why say babies are my gift if you don’t want people asking if you’re pregnant?” asked one fan.

“Because my husband has children. That makes me a stepfather to them and they are incredibly special to me. they believe.” she wrote, adding a red heart emoji.

Speculation about the pregnancy was also apparently sparked by a photo Claire posted from her medical appointment. “Ah, now I understand where some of you got it from! Just in time for my weekly allergy shot, she clarified.

Claire also shared some details about her recent nuptials after a fan asked if the nuptials were a “secret/surprise”.

“It wasn’t a secret and it didn’t come as a surprise to people we’re close to. I always said, even publicly, that I wanted a very intimate/micro wedding shortly after we got engaged,” she explained.

The Q&A comes just days after Claire confirmed her marriage on Instagram with a photo from their beautiful wedding.

‘Mr. and Mrs. Dawkins! – wrote the beauty in her signature, posing with her new husband.

They were married in her hometown of Sacramento, California.
