Kylie Jenner Details Postpartum Depression Journey After Welcoming Her 2 Kids

Kylie Jenner is sharing insight into vulnerable periods in her life.

The 27-year-old recently opened up about her experience with post-partum depression after welcoming children Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2, both of whom she shares with ex Travis Scott.

“Stormi’s lasted a year,” Kylie told British Vogue in an interview published August 13, adding that her depression following Aire’s birth lasted about the same amount of time. “I’m going to be 27, and I’m finally feeling like myself again. I think, being pregnant, 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.”

But while Kylie—who has been dating Timothée Chalamet since parting ways with Travis—dealt with depression following the birth of both children, she noted it was different after welcoming her son.

“It hit me differently both times,” the Kardashians star explained. “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. On the phone with my mom all day hysterically crying, saying, ‘I can’t figure out his name.’”

Kylie has previously been candid about the ways in which she struggled to name her youngest, immediately feeling like his original moniker of Wolf didn’t feel right.

“When I met him,” she continued, “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.”

The beauty mogul also revealed that there had actually been a third name in the mix in between Wolf and Aire—the latter of which it took Kylie a year to decide to settle on.

“My son’s name was actually Knight for a long time,” she shared. “And my daughter, still to this day, is like, ‘Do you remember when Aire’s name was Knight? That was so funny, Mom. I like Knight better.’”

To which Kylie quipped, “And I’m like, ‘You know what, we are not doing this again.’”

Yet despite the ups and downs of motherhood, the Kylie Cosmetics founder wouldn’t have it any other way—even if parenthood came earlier than one might’ve expected.

“Stormi wasn’t planned,” Kylie said. “It happened, but obviously I knew that I wanted to have her. I wanted children so bad.”

And in the time since welcoming her eldest, she’s only come to further appreciate the balance and perspective her children bring to her daily life.

“No matter what I’m going through or what I look like or what the internet writes about me that day,” she noted, “I come home and my kids just love me unconditionally. They’re just obsessed with me and that’s taught me to walk through life a little easier. I’m like, ‘OK, well I have these little humans at home that need me and love me and think I’m the most perfect person in the world, so I don’t really need validation from outside sources.’”
