To hear Kylie Jenner tell it, she’s living her best life.
In the three months since welcoming daughter Stormi with boyfriend Travis Scott, the reality star has battled sleep deprivation, baby blues and the guilt that overcomes her each time she leaves the newborn in the care of one of her two nannies to tend to her other baby, the multimillion dollar Kylie Cosmetics brand.
“I’m like, ‘I’ll be right back, I’m so sorry, I have to leave!'” she explained to sister Kim Kardashian, who recently interviewed her for ES Magazine, “and she doesn’t even know what’s going on. I think about her all the time, anywhere I am.”But when her older sibling asked how she was handling the challenges that accompany the early days of motherhood, Kylie admitted she hadn’t really faced many. “It’s actually been the opposite for me,” she said. “I feel like it’s just been so amazing, and so much fun. I’m learning so much more about myself and life.”
And her 13-month relationship. Kylie and rapper boyfriend Scott were scarcely removed from the getting-to-know-you stage last summer when they discovered she was expecting their first chld. Yet the 20-year-old makeup mogul and the two-time Grammy nominee, 26, have emerged from the initial months of parenthood—a stage that gets the best of even the most established couples—as a committed, cohesive unit. “Kylie and Travis are currently in the best place they have ever been in their relationship,” an insider tells E! News.
Since Stormi’s arrival, the musician has proven to be a devoted dad (“He helps a lot at night,” says the insider) and boyfriend, spoiling Kylie with gifts and baby-free nights on the town.
“Things really came full circle once Stormi was born,” says the insider, “and they now have an unbreakable bond.”
Lighthearted fling may have been a more apt description when the couple first started hanging out last April. At the time, Kylie was fresh out of a relationship with rapper Tyga, 28, a rollercoaster romance she ended because “I decided that I’m really young.” The Houston native had always been on the periphery of Kylie’s circle, performing at sister Kendall Jenner‘s 2016 21st birthday bash and collaborating with brother-in-law Kanye West on his critically acclaimed Yeezus disc, and following Kylie’s split, he made a move.
As the “Antidote” artist (born: Jacques Webster) and the lip kit maven circulated at a Coachella party, then held hands courtside at a Houston Rockets playoff game Apr. 25, some outlets speculated she was trying to make ex Tyga jealous. But a confidante told E! News Kylie was genuinely interested in the multiplatinum musician, who counts Rihanna as a former flame. “It’s a fling right now,” said the confidante. “It hasn’t developed into anything yet, but they are feeling each other for sure.”
Two months—and a series of cross-country PDAs in Boston, New York and Miami—later, they made their love permanent, getting matching butterfly tattoos inked on their ankles.
The symbol, a nod to Scott’s track “Butterfly Effect,” which President Barack Obama named one of his 2017 favorites, became a through-line in the couple’s budding relationship. Though the star confessed to a fear of the insect on her Life of Kylie spinoff (“I’m terrified—terrified of butterflies. All butterflies,” she said) a source told E! News she was “obsessed” with Scott’s May 2017 release. Really, she told ES Magazine, she loves “everything” about his music, particularly “the way it makes you feel.”
This song, though with lyrics such as “Heatin’ up, baby, I’m just heatin’ up (it’s lit) / Fiji lover, now they need it is a must / Feelin’ stuck, you know how to keep me up / Icy love, icy like a hockey puck,” became sort of an audio representation of their union. Scott even marked Kylie’s August birthday…
