Kylie Jenner opens up about motherhood challenges and joys as a young mom in British Vogue interview.
Kylie Jenner recently shared her thoughts on becoming a mother at a young age in a candid interview with British Vogue. The 26-year-old entrepreneur and reality star, known for her Kylie Cosmetics brand, discussed the challenges and joys of raising her two children, daughter Stormi, 6, and son Aire, 2, whom she shares with ex-partner Travis Scott.
Reflecting on her journey, Jenner revealed she was just 19 when she found out she was pregnant with Stormi and gave birth at 20. She described the experience as “wild” and admitted that it took time to fully grasp the enormity of the change motherhood brought into her life.
“I give myself more empathy and grace now,” Jenner said, noting that even her family didn’t initially see her as particularly young for motherhood, likely because of the maturity she projected and her decade-long career by that point. However, she acknowledges now just how significant a life change it was.
Jenner also spoke about her deep love for her children, stating that they are her biggest source of strength and joy. She shared that no matter what challenges she faces, whether from online scrutiny or personal struggles, her children’s unconditional love is what keeps her grounded.
“The tricky part,” Jenner said, “is figuring out the balance of growing up alongside your kids.” She explained that having children at a young age forced her to let go of the freedom many of her peers still enjoy. Despite this, she sees it as one of the greatest benefits, stating, “I don’t think we realize how selfish we are until we have children.”
Looking ahead, Jenner expressed excitement about the future, particularly the bond she anticipates sharing with her children as they grow. “I’m 26 and I have a first-grader,” she said with a laugh, imagining the closeness she’ll share with Stormi when she turns 20. “We’re going to be best friends.”
This interview offers a glimpse into how Jenner is navigating the complexities of motherhood while still in her 20s, balancing her career, and planning for the future with her kids.
