Kira Cousins Apologizes After Viral Fake Pregnancy Using Reborn Doll

No public records or police reports corroborate the claimed birth.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old from Airdrie said she falsified ultrasounds, messages and a birth story and that she "didn't know how to stop after I started."
  • She had announced a daughter, Bonnie-Leigh Joyce, allegedly born on October 10 weighing 2.3 kg, after months of staged posts and a gender-reveal.
  • Family suspicions grew when the baby never cried and handling was restricted, and her mother ultimately found a lifelike reborn doll in her room.
  • A relative, Neave McRobert, posted a TikTok video exposing the deception, and messages show Cousins later told the alleged father the baby had died.
  • Cousins apologized to those she misled, including the alleged father and his family, and said she is seeking help, while reports note no official investigation to date.
