Kylie Jenner is opening up about something deeply personal and painful.
In a new interview with British Vogue, the 26-year-old delves into the details behind postpartum depression, which continued after the birth of daughter Stormi, 6, and son Aire, 2, whom she shares with for about a year.
“I’m about to turn 27 and I finally feel like myself again,” Jenner explained to the outlet.
“and [looking back] I think I wore sweatpants every day during my pregnancy and didn’t even have time to think about the little things in life, and then it continued for a year postpartum. Mentally, it’s really hard. Hormonally, it’s really hard.
Millions of women know exactly what Jenner is talking about here.
The reality star said the second episode of symptoms hit her harder, leaving Jenner with “severe postpartum depression.”
She explains it as follows:
“It hit me differently both times. It could be that my son had severe postpartum depression, so I felt very emotional about things that I might not have been as emotional about. [typically]”.
Jenner admitted that she would occasionally be “on the phone with my mom all day, crying hysterically, saying, ‘I don’t know his name.'”
In fact, Kelly struggled to come up with a name for her second child after he was born.
“When I met him, he was the most beautiful to me and I couldn’t believe how perfect he was. I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t say his name,” she told Vogue 》. “He deserves so much more than that. That really touched me.
Jenner now says her son was named Knight some time ago.
Jenner and Scott welcomed their son in February 2022, initially naming him Wolf Jacques. In March of that year, she later shared on Instagram Story that her second child’s name was “no longer Wolf.”
The Keeping Up With The Keepers star later confirmed her son’s new name for the first time in January 2023 in the caption of her Instagram post, which was simply “AIRE.”
Kylie has been more open than ever about the hate she’s received online, and she’s concluded that she’s excited about becoming a parent.
“No matter what I’m going through that day, no matter what I look like or what the internet writes about me,” she said in the feature.
“I come home and my kids love me unconditionally. They’re just obsessed with me and it’s taught me to go through life more easily.
“I thought, ‘Well, I have these little people in my family who need me and love me and think I’m the most perfect person in the world, so I really don’t need validation from outside sources.'”
