The former South Carolina treasurer has been in an on-off relationship with mother-of-two Heather since last summer, according to DailyMail.com.
The disgraced reality star is reportedly fighting to keep the pregnancy news under wraps.
A source claimed: "Thomas is doing everything he can to keep a lid on this. He's told Heather not to go out and even people who know are afraid to say anything because Thomas is so aggressive when he is crossed."
The insider added: "Kathryn knows, she was told by her attorney."

Heather has two children - a son, 12, and a daughter, 13 - with prolific Charleston restaurateur Leo Chiagkouris, the site claimed.
It comes after Thomas and Kathryn agreed to joint custody of their kids - Kensington, five, and Saint, three - after a three-year court battle last November.
Ravenel is responsible for paying child support to Dennis, in addition to the weekly salary of a full-time nanny.
He previously gained temporary custody of the kids after Dennis had tested positive for marijuana use in 2016.

Neither parent is allowed to show the children Bravo's Southern Charm - the reality show where the couple found fame - and neither of them are allowed to have a romantic partner stay between the hours of 11pm to 7am when the kids are around.
Thomas was axed from Southern Charm after his former nanny accused him of sexually assaulting her.
Dawn Ledwell claimed Thomas tried to kiss her after returning to his Charleston home drunk in January 2015.
Thomas pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and battery, admitting in court that he had tried to kiss Dawn.
He said: “Your honor, on the night of the incident I did attempt to kiss her and in so doing I grabbed her arm and that was wrong, and I am much appreciative of the opportunity to apologize to her in court today.”

Thomas avoided going to jail by paying a $500 fine.
The reality star was also accused of sexually assaulting a separate woman he met on Tinder in 2015 and reportedly settled with her for $200,000.
He served as South Carolina state treasurer for six months in 2007 before being indicted on federal cocaine distribution charges.
He resigned in July 2007 and was sentenced to 10 months in prison for the charges.
