In a candid interview for Elle’s November issue, Kylie Jenner opens up about her experiences with motherhood, particularly the challenges she faced after the births of her children, Stormi Webster, 6, and Aire Webster, 2. At 27, the makeup mogul, who shares her kids with ex Travis Scott, reflects on the journey of growing her family while navigating her own personal growth.
Getting pregnant at 19, Jenner recalls how the experience was a shock, both physically and emotionally. “Having a baby really young was more surprising, especially with all the changes happening to my body—new stretch marks and things I didn’t have before,” she shares.
Jenner also candidly discusses her battle with postpartum depression. “I felt like I was on autopilot,” she reveals, highlighting the crucial support she received from her family. Her mother, Kris Jenner, and her sisters—Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian—provided guidance and encouragement during this challenging time. Khloé, in particular, has been a vital support system, often stepping in as a babysitter when Jenner has to travel.
Beyond the emotional struggles, Jenner acknowledges the physical toll pregnancy took on her body, noting that it took time for her to feel comfortable in her skin again. Despite the challenges, she expresses gratitude for the lessons learned and the strength gained through motherhood.
Jenner and Stormi recently made headlines when they attended the Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show in Paris, a moment that showcased their close bond. As she continues to navigate her career and family life, Jenner’s openness about her experiences resonates with many, highlighting the complexities of modern motherhood.
