Kylie Jenner reveals she experienced postpartum depression after the birth of her two kids in British Vogue

Kylie Jenner is the face of British Vogue for September 2024. On the pristine cover, she wears a midnight blue gown that beautifully sets off her features and stands against a backdrop of a yellow flowering bush. In the issue, Kylie discusses fame, her childhood, and her period of postpartum depression, which occurred after she had her babies.

When Kylie became a young mother to her children, Stormi and Aire Webster, she knew she was destined to be a parent. The reality star and beauty mogul shares her kids with her ex, Travis Scott, and while the two are no longer romantically connected, they co-parent so that the kids can be equal in their lives.

Now, Kylie reflects on her postpartum depression journey with Giles Hattersley of British Vogue and how choosing the right name for her son was an emotional cycle.

Kylie Jenner opens on postpartum depression with British Vogue

With both of her children, Kylie suffered from the disorder for a year. In essence, postpartum is caused by a drop in hormones as they resituate themselves to prepregnancy levels. Another factor is stress and the anxiety of failure as a mother.

It took Kylie nearly two years after Aire was born to feel back to normal.

"I’m going to be 27, and I’m finally feeling like myself again, and looking back, I think [that] 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."

The publication photographed Kylie with Stormi and Aire, and she quoted that bringing her kids to the set of her Vogue spread was "the best part."

Kylie detailed how Aire had been known as "Knight" for a "long time" and felt like "a failure" when she couldn't decide on his name. To the public, Aire was Wolfe. However, it was love at first sight when she met her son when he was born.

"When I met [Aire], 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."

As Kylie is a woman with many titles-businesswoman, influencer, fashion icon, and a member of one of America's prominent families, the roles carry tons of scrutiny and privacy invasion. While the criticisms may have bothered her, she can always depend on Sormi and Aire to cheer her up.

"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. 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."

From her time on Keeping Up With The Kardashians as a child to now, Kylie has accomplished plenty in her life and isn't stopping now.
