Kylie Jenner is no stranger to the limelight, but in a recent interview with British Vogue, the 27-year-old makeup mogul and reality star delved into some deeply personal topics. From addressing rumours about her body to revealing her son’s secret name before settling on Aire, Jenner offered a rare glimpse into her life beyond the cameras. Let’s dive into the highlights of this revealing interview.
Kylie Jenner grew up under the intense scrutiny of the public eye, and she’s learned a thing or two about coping with fame. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “I learnt at such a young age how to deal with all of this in the best way for me. So I don’t go crazy, if I am being honest.” Jenner continued, “I don’t know who I would’ve been without all these eyes on me. I probably would’ve been, like, a different person, I would think.”
One of the most surprising revelations in the interview was Kylie’s admission about getting her breasts done as a teenager. She opened up about the pressure she felt to make such a significant decision at a young age. “The world put a lot of pressure on a teenager, me, to make the right decisions,” Jenner shared. “And I just have to be gentle with myself because although I carried so much responsibility in the moment, I was just trying to do what was best for me. I was just trying my best as a human. I have to realize: ‘It’s OK, Kylie.’ Looking back, I’m like, ‘God, I was 17, 18.’”
Motherhood has been a transformative experience for Jenner, but it hasn’t come without its struggles. She spoke candidly about her battle with postpartum depression after the birth of her two children. “I’m going to be 27, and I’m finally feeling like myself again,” she revealed. Jenner described how the experience affected her both mentally and physically, saying, “Being pregnant, I wore sweatpants every day, I didn’t have time to figure out even some of the little things in my life, and then postpartum lasted a year. Mentally, it’s really hard. Hormonally, it’s really hard.”
Jenner also shared a particularly emotional struggle with naming her son, which she said left her feeling overwhelmed and triggered. “Probably with my son it was major baby blues, so I was just so emotional over things that I probably wouldn’t be that emotional about [typically]. On the phone with my mom all day hysterically crying, saying, ‘I can’t figure out his name.’” She added, “When I met him, he was just the most beautiful thing to me and I couldn’t believe just how perfect he was. I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t name him. He deserved so much more than that. It just really triggered me.”
Kylie became a mother at the age of 20, and she reflected on how it changed her life. “I was 19 when I got pregnant, 20 when I had [Stormi],” she shared. “It was wild. Looking back at it, I give myself more empathy and grace.” Despite her young age, Jenner felt a sense of responsibility that even her family acknowledged. “Even my family were like: ‘You aren’t that young.’”
Motherhood has given Jenner a new perspective on life. “No matter what I’m going through or what I look like or what the internet writes about me that day, I come home and my kids just love me unconditionally,” she said. “They’re just obsessed with me and that’s taught me to walk through life a little easier.”
In the interview, Jenner also addressed rumours surrounding her body, specifically allegations that she used Ozempic, a medication often associated with weight loss. “I feel like people didn’t give me, or give women in general, enough empathy,” she said. Jenner explained how her body changed after having children, and how the public’s scrutiny has been relentless. “I’m back at my weight I was before I had my daughter and son and people are putting side by sides of me three months postpartum. I’m like: ‘Does everyone forget that I had two children and I gained 60 pounds both pregnancies?’”
Kylie also revealed a little-known fact about her son Aire’s name. Before settling on Aire, she had another name in mind. “My son’s name was actually Knight for a long time,” she shared. “My daughter, still to this day, is like, ‘Do you remember when Aire’s name was Knight?’ And I’m like ‘No.’ And she’s like, ‘That was so funny, Mom. I like Knight better.’ And I’m like: ‘You know what, we are not doing this again.’”
This candid interview with Kylie Jenner showcases a side of her that’s not often seen—a woman navigating fame, motherhood, and personal growth with honesty and resilience. Through her experiences, Kylie continues to redefine what it means to be in the public eye while staying true to herself.
