Did reports about conservative influencer Laura Loomer being pregnant with the child of Malaysian influencer Ian Miles Cheong originate on actual news websites? No, that's not true: The rumor appeared on an X account clearly marked as "Parody". There were no actual news reports about such a pregnancy.
The "reports" were mentioned in a post on X (archived here) published on November 23, 2025 by an account named "Dissident Wire" which read:
Laura Loomer is reportedly pregnant with Ian Miles Cheong's child.
This is what the post looked like at the time of writing:

However the bio of @DissidentWire (archived here) clearly states the account is a parody:
News and alerts from around the world. Not affiliated with any organization, podcast, or activist. Parody.
A Google News search for articles mentioning "Laura Loomer", "Ian Miles Cheong" and "pregnant" did not return any results (archived here).
