Lip kit queen Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott's relationship moved at warp speed,
from first being romantically linked in April 2017, to welcoming daughter Stormi in February
2018, to calling it quits by September 2019.
But there's more to this whirlwind romance than you think.
Here's why their relationship just gets weirder and weirder.
"Let's go, family.
It's showtime.
It's f---ing showtime"
Insiders claim that while Jenner and Scott went on to fall deeply in love, she reportedly
started getting close to him initially to irritate her ex, rapper Tyga, with whom she
had a tumultuous on-again-off-again relationship.
A source told People magazine,
"Travis and Kylie have been friends for a while and they all hang out.
When she and Tyga are having drama, she tries to make him jealous by hanging out with other
guys.
When Kylie is happy, they're happy, but it's never that simple.
There's always some kind of drama with Kylie and Tyga."
In September 2017, news broke that Jenner was pregnant with Travis Scott's baby.
At the time, sources claimed the Kylie Cosmetics mogul was about four months along, and considering
she and Scott only began dating in April 2017, it appeared she conceived very early on in
their relationship.
An insider told Entertainment Tonight at the time,
"Kylie always wanted to be a young mom.
She may be young, but she's very maternal and has lots of practice with babies!
She's a very hands-on aunt and was basically a step-mom to Tyga's kid."
For her part, Jenner famously laid low for almost her entire pregnancy, later revealing
sweet moments from that time in a home video she posted on YouTube after her daughter's
birth.
Grandma Kris Jenner said to Kylie's baby before she was born,
"You've got the best mom and you're so lucky, this is such a blessing, it's gonna be the
most amazing journey."
The couple welcomed daughter Stormi Webster in February 2018.
But it was so soon after Jenner's romance with Tyga ended that Tyga, not Scott, was
actually rumored to be Stormi's father, an allegation both he and Jenner's mom, Kris,
denied.
Even Kylie's bodyguard, Tim Chung, was also forced to deny that even he was Stormi's father
after fans speculated they shared a resemblance.
Jenner seemed to be in no rush to be tied down or to make any long-term commitments.
But now she's got an 18-year commitment to a child, which reportedly shocked those close
to her.
A source told People magazine,
"Kylie broke up with Tyga partly because she felt too young to get serious.
Now she's having a baby with a guy she just started dating.
People around her are really surprised.
It happened really fast, but for Kylie, being with Travis is so different than anyone else.
She's so in love with him.
She's really excited."
Jenner had previously addressed her commitment issues on her short-lived reality show, Life
of Kylie, saying,
"There was absolutely not one thing wrong with me and T. Him and I will always, always
have a bond."
Claiming she and Tyga never had a blowout fight that ended it all, the reality star
said it all came down to her age, and what she wanted for her life.
She said she didn't want to believe Tyga "took something from [her]."
Before hooking up with Jenner, Travis Scott was linked to Rihanna in September 2015, though
the romance was seemingly short-lived.
A source told E! News at the time,
"Travis and Rihanna are dating, officially.
It's already very serious.
He's very into her…Rihanna likes Travis a lot and hopes it develops into something
more.
All of her friends think he is gonna be the keeper.
Travis is completely her type and they share the same interests."
Of course the two parted ways.
But Jenner can add Scott to the list of traits she shares with RiRi, including cosmetics
empires, Puma deals, and scantily-clad Instagram posts.
Jenner is reportedly terrified to be alone, especially in her own massive Beverly Hills
mansion, so reports say that she invited then-beau Scott to move in with her after less than
six months together.
A source told Hollywood Life,
"It's a big-ass house and Kylie honestly doesn't want to be there alone with her dogs.
She would be too scared [to be by herself].
She wants to feel protected and secure and Travis provides that."
Claiming Kylie wanted, quote, "someone to keep her warm at night and to tell her how
beautiful she is in the morning," the source went on to add,
"She's the one who suggested that they play house and see how living under one roof would
be.
She doesn't want him to pitch in financially, she just wants his presence!"
Sources told People magazine that Jenner and Scott had no immediate plans to wed following
their pregnancy news.
It was in line with how her mom, Kris, reacted to TMZ cameras in August 2017 when she cracked
up laughing when she was asked if Scott had her blessing to marry Kylie.
But maybe the reason there were no wedding plans was because they were already married.
A source cited by Life & Style claimed that despite the Kardashians' propensity for televised
weddings, Kylie and Travis had reportedly already gotten married, under the radar.
The insider dished,
"Kylie and Travis tied the knot at her Calabasas mansion.
It wasn't a big, glamorous affair like other Kardashian weddings, and only a few close
friends were invited.
But Kylie is crazy about Travis.
There were no official E! cameras there, but Kylie asked her friends to film the special
moment on their iPhones."
"Now it's, like, I feel like I can be more myself.
I feel way more free.
And I'm just, like, really genuinely happy right now."
If all this was true, we're willing to bet mama Kris was breathing down Kylie's neck
to get a prenup.
It turned out, those paternity rumors just wouldn't quit.
Jenner's ex, Tyga, was still trolling her, posting a Snapchat of a TMZ headline about
Jenner's pregnancy and captioning it with several devil emojis, writing, quote, "Hell
nah that's my kid."
He later told TMZ that the post was fake, but it's clear that he wasn't thrilled about
the baby news.
A source told Hollywood Life,
"Tyga is not dealing with the pregnancy news very well.
He feels absolutely gutted and feels it should have been him.
He hates it and really is sad with the news.
It is not something he wants to think about.
The news really sucks for him."
Perhaps in an effort to troll Jenner and her family further, Tyga began quote "full on
dating" Kim Kardashian look-alike Kamilla Osman, as People magazine reported.
"I mean, yeah, it is pretty crazy."
Hey, maybe the guy just has a type.
Back in 2016, just two years years before her first child was born, Kylie and then-boyfriend
Tyga explained why she wasn't currently pregnant or planning on getting pregnant, or even married,
at the time.
It turned out, it was because she was still just a child herself.
After first joking that she wasn't pregnant or married because her then-rapper guy Tyga
was, quote, "slacking," Jenner said in a Snapchat video,
"I'm an infant and a child.
And I don't want to be married and have a baby right now…I'm a baby."
"I'm an infant child."
Some say Jenner wanted to be a young mom and that may have prompted her to rush into parenthood
with Scott.
On an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2016, Jenner said she wanted to have kids
by age 27.
"When do you feel like is a good age to have kids?"
"30's a good age."
"Like, 25."
"30's a good age."
"I feel like 30's too late."
A month later on Kocktails With Khloe, Jenner said she definitely wanted to become a mom
before she turns 30, claiming,
"I want kids for sure.
And I feel like seeing you guys go through everything, it's great knowledge."
Prior to that, in 2015, she told Teen Vogue she wanted to have kids while she was in her
twenties, saying,
"When I look to the far future and decide to have kids, I need to have a million girls.
Ten years from now, in 2025, I hope I have a kid."
In June 2017, a source told OK! that Jenner had been desperate for a baby since she turned
18, when she was still dating Tyga.
The insider claimed,
"Remember, [Kylie has] wanted to be pregnant with Tyga ever since she turned 18 and they
had plenty of near-misses when she thought she had conceived."
As fans know, Jenner struggled with growing up on camera, as part of her famous family
on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
"When the paparazzi can't find Kim, they just stalk the rest of us."
And considering she still appears on the show, and also attempted her own spin-off, it wouldn't
be too surprising if little Stormi Webster is destined to develop similar complexes regarding
fame and identity.
Jenner lamented on Life of Kylie in 2017,
"I for sure didn't choose this life, but I am not going to say that I'm totally innocent,
because I am keeping up this lifestyle."
Admitting that she is creating more fame for herself through Instagram, as well as her
makeup empire, she says, even so, she isn't all about the attention.
She said,
"I don't know what it's like to live a normal life…I feel like when you grow up on camera,
people feel like they know you.
I started filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians when I was 9 years old…I feel like I've
lost parts of myself."
Travis Scott has gotten into his fair share of legal trouble.
In May 2017, TMZ reported that he was arrested for allegedly inciting a riot, with police
claiming that he encouraged fans to rush the stage during a performance.
Sources close to Scott claimed that Scott simply noticed some open space at the front
of the venue, so he encouraged fans to move forward.
Two years prior, he was busted at Lollapalooza for allegedly instructing fans to ignore security
protocol and jump over the barricades.
Also in 2015, Scott was accused of getting into a physical altercation with a fan who
reportedly pulled Scott's chain.
Then, in late April 2017, TMZ reported that Scott offered a fan his ring after the fan
allegedly jumped from a third floor balcony at his show and was injured to the point of
paralysis.
Scott was accused of encouraging the fan to jump, an allegation he denied.
But perhaps most disturbingly, Scott was accused of assault in a series of since-deleted tweets
by former Sony Music employee, Shane Morris.
Scott denied the allegations, and no charges were filed.
Jenner's own family may have had doubts that she was really ready for motherhood.
While she was still pregnant with Stormi, a source told People magazine,
"[The family thinks] Kylie is very naive.
Spending time with other people's kids is obviously completely different than being
a mom 24/7.
Kylie of course has no idea about all the hard work and sleepless nights…Her family
would beg her to protect herself.
They were very concerned."
"It's kind of hard and discouraging."
The source also alleged that Kylie's pregnancy quote "took some getting used to" for mom
Kris Jenner.
When asked about the reported pregnancy news at Milan Fashion Week, the famous momager
awkwardly replied, via Radar Online,
"It wouldn't be the family if something didn't happen every single day…I just woke up this
morning.
She's not confirmed anything.
I think it's kind of wild that everyone is just assuming that that's just happening."
Kylie's other parent, Caitlyn Jenner, also reportedly had a rough time with the baby
news.
At least at first.
"We're kinda like getting to know each other again."
According to a source for Hollywood Life,
"Caitlyn was really shocked and disappointed to learn that Kylie is pregnant.
She thinks Kylie is way too young to have a baby, and that she should have waited until
she was in a long-term committed relationship.
Caitlyn is concerned that Kylie and Travis really haven't been dating very long, and
that a baby will put a big strain on their relationship, but Kylie believes the exact
opposite, that she and Travis will be together forever."
A rep for Caitlyn confirmed Kylie's pregnancy to The Sun, in September 2017, adding that
the former Olympian had known about the baby news for quite some time.
"Technically it's like 16 grandchildren, so, I'm doing okay."
Kris Jenner supposedly wasn't too happy about the baby news because, well, she's both a
business manager and a mom, and she reportedly thought the pregnancy would distract from
her youngest daughter's booming cosmetic business.
"It's hard to balance being a teenager…"
"It is."
"...and also, like, running my business."
A source told People magazine,
"Kris is just trying to control what she can and make sure no one forgets Kylie is also
a businesswoman.
She wants to set Kylie Cosmetics up to sell.
Kylie has worked so hard to build that empire.
Kris doesn't want to see the pregnancy affect how that is perceived.
Of course, Kris will support Kylie being a mom, but she is still adjusting to the surprise
news."
(crowd chanting "Stormi")
Insiders believe that part of Kylie's motivation for motherhood was simply to increase her
time in the limelight, despite voicing her reservations about it.
A source told Radar Online that Kylie was hoping her baby and pregnancy would make for
a second season of Life of Kylie, even though the first season didn't make a splash with
critics or audiences.
The source claimed,
"She was really hoping that this was going to be her big break and that it would land
her a huge future in reality TV.
After reading some of the reviews, Kylie just realized how far removed from reality she
really is."
"I'm…can't relate to a lot of people right now.
So it's like this little world.
I do feel like an outcast."
Another insider told the media outlet,
"She didn't know how detached she was until she saw how people reacted to her show.
She is not a happy person to begin with and all this show did was solidify that to her
fans."
Life of Kylie wrapped with Season 1.
"For those of you who don't know, my name is Travis f---ing Scott."
In December 2018, Scott was accused of cheating on Jenner, but it all turned out to be an
elaborate hoax.
A YouTuber staged the entire scenario, in which a Scott look-alike was pictured getting
close to a woman who was definitely not Kylie.
Of the incident, Jenner wrote in an Instagram Story,
"[I don't know] if this is really a social experiment to some people but you're messing
with real people, real relationships, real family.
I'm happy my relationship is strong because this is getting out of hand.
The internet scares me sometimes for real."
But this wasn't Scott's only alleged slip.
TMZ reported in late February 2019 that he canceled a concert in New York after Jenner
allegedly accused him of cheating on her.
"He didn't get that right.
That was a no."
Sources told the outlet that the reality TV star somehow found unspecified evidence that
he was supposedly unfaithful, leading to a major argument that lasted several days.
While Scott's rep strongly denied the cheating allegations, the rapper temporarily deleted
his Instagram account following the incident.
Weeks later, insiders told TMZ that the relationship was quote "damaged," but that Jenner and Scott
were determined to work things out.
Scott served as a creative director for a Playboy spread of Jenner in various states
of undress, which hit the press in September 2019.
Within the "Pleasure Issue," the then-couple also revealed more than any of us cared to
know about their intimate life.
Scott said,
"A lot of people claim that having a baby can hurt your [love] life, but I feel like
that's the opposite of our experience…[Kylie, you] remind me that motherhood and [intimacy]
can coexist, and [it] doesn't mean you have loose morals or you're not a good mother."
"He's not just saying that, like I really am the best."
"Yeah.
It's, like, facts."
Jenner also admitted within the story that she never would have considered posing for
Playboy, but that she came around when she learned that Scott would be in charge of the
shoot.
In addition to their love life, they also gushed about their deep emotional intimacy,
with Jenner telling Scott during their interview,
"We think the same and have the same goals and passions in life.
Besides the fact that we have good chemistry, we have a lot of fun together.
You're my best friend.
Through all the ups and downs that every relationship has, we evolve together through them and keep
getting stronger."
But things were about to take a different sort of turn.
In early 2019, there was speculation that Jenner and Scott would tie the knot.
While Jenner insisted to Paper magazine that Scott hadn't put a ring on it yet, she made
it clear they were blissfully happy together nonetheless.
But were they?
Just weeks after their Playboy issue debuted, TMZ reported on October 1, 2019, that Jenner
and Scott had broken up.
And according to E! News, Jenner was spotted hanging out with old flame Tyga just a day
after the breakup news made headlines.
Meanwhile, a source claimed Kylie and Travis had quote "trust issues" but that maybe they
weren't totally over, telling People magazine,
"There were several issues that made them decide to take a break.
Kylie is all about family life and really wants a second baby."
"Rise and shine.
Oh my goodness, you have a mark from sleeping.
You were sleeping good."
But as it turns out, Scott reportedly wasn't ready for that level of commitment.
