Does Lois Lane #8 Solicitation Support the 'Cuck Kent' Theory?

This is the solicitation for Lois Lane #8 from DC Comics' February 2020 solicitations. Which ties in with the current storyline with Superman supposedly revealing his true identity to the world, and it states,

the world comes to realize Lois Lane is also the wife of Superman and mother of Superboy

But not the wife of Clark Kent. You see, since Brian Bendis started writing Superman, Bleeding Cool has been running with the theory that it will be revealed that Superman is Lois's husband and that Jonathan Kent is their son – but not doing away with Clark Kent as a separate identity, rather portraying him to the world as someone who played the part of Lois Lane's husband and father of Jonathan to keep the real relationship between Lois and Superman a secret.

Hence the rather inglorious term 'Cuck Kent'. Of late, we thought that theory may have been scotched, but the Lois Lane #8 solicitation seems not to rule it out at all… deliberately so??
