I have to admit, Iâm sort of NOT worried about Kylie Jenner these days? There was a lot of concern – and concern-trolling – about Kylie having a baby at the age of 20, but at the end of the day⌠she seems fine. Right now, she seems fine. She seems pretty connected to the baby, Travis Scott still doesnât really live with Kylie, and Kylie is rich as hell. Of course she has a lot of help, and of course I still have concerns that Kylie is treating baby Stormi like sheâs a doll. But overall, this is not even half as bad as I thought it was going to be. Kylie has a new interview – conducted by Kim Kardashian – in ES Magazine. She chats with the mag about Stormi and motherhood and more. Some highlights:
She doesnât feel like the first weeks of motherhood were challenging: “Itâs actually been the opposite for me. I feel like itâs just been so amazing, and so much fun. Iâm learning so much more about myself and life, and itâs been such a great experience. Of course thereâs hard times and stuff⌠even in the beginning, just not sleeping, the nights, like, baby blues⌠and all the ups and downs. And also even when Iâm here it was so hard to leave this morning. Iâm like, âIâll be right back, Iâm so sorry, I have to leave!â and she doesnât even know whatâs going on. I think about her all the time, anywhere I am. I would rather be with her or wish she can come everywhere. I canât wait till she can come everywhere with me, because right when sheâs old enough Iâll bring her everywhere.
How she came up with Stormiâs name: “I really donât know how we thought of Storm. Her dad insisted it was him, but I feel like it was me. And that kind of just stuck with us. And then I didnât really like just StormâI didnât feel like that was her name. So then it became Stormi. And it just stuck. I feel like there were a lot of other names that I might have even liked better to be honest, but I feel like Stormi picked her own name, like it was just her name.”
How she feels about beauty & business since becoming a mom: “I think more about the future because of her. Every time I leave and Iâm stressed about leaving her, Iâm like, ‘Iâm doing it for you.’ Everyone says you change completely when you become a mom, but I really feel the same, just better. So I donât know what really has completely changed my world, besides her, of course. But I feel like itâs only gotten better. Youâre less selfishâand I actually enjoy changing diapers. Itâs really satisfying. To make her clean again. And I donât know, the whole thing is really⌠itâs like such an amazing experience.”
Her thoughts on plastic surgery: “I feel like if it makes you feel better, and if that’s what you want to do, I’m not against it. Right now I probably wouldn’t do anything, actually.”
It makes sense that Kylie and Travis came up with Stormiâs name before she was born and they just stuck with it, even though the Stormy Daniels controversy was raging around the same time. If anything, maybe itâs a good thing! Stormy Daniels is an American hero and maybe more babies will be named Stormy/i in the future. As for her thoughts on plastic surgery: âRight now I probably wouldn’t do anything, actuallyâŚâ I mean⌠just looking through her recent Instagrams, her face is jacked. Maybe itâs not âplastic surgeryâ as much as âinjectibles,â but still.

Seems bizarre that she may have the most respectable significant other of the entire KarJenner clan lol
Not if you believe the rumors that he has other children on the way or already arrived.
I hope not. He already looks so disconnected from stormi. Even in the picture sheâs propped up and heâs sitting near her not touching or interacting with her at all the same way he would sit next to an adult on a bus. He hasnât even been pictured holding Stormi or touching her at all since she was born.
There were pictures of him holding her when he took her home to meet his family (parents/relatives/etc). And the fact that he did that in the first place seems like he’s connected with his kid. I mean, she’s an infant, probably more about her mom right now anyway.
Stormy is also the name of Adelaideâs most well known brothel madam. Itâs all I can think of when reading that name.
Those lips!
“Right now, I wouldn’t do anything MORE.” There, I fixed it for you, Kylie.
Time to trot out Kim V2 to distract from the Kanye mess!
Iâm sure new motherhood is fun and not challenging at all when you have nannies to take care of all the hard stuff and you really only have to deal with the newborn for photo ops.
Right. Try having three and one on the way and doing it alone. But she lives in another world than we do. So ironic that Stormy Daniels is in the headlines at the same time as she named her kid. Lol. It’s different though, she ended hers with the i dotted with the ever famous heart.
Kim 2.0 is out and Kim’s kids and now there’s a Khole story (Tristan is begging her to stay, but she hasn’t decided what she’s doing yet. Kourtney is giving her advice). They’re pulling out all the stops to bury the Kanye stories.
Yep. Kim was out there kicking Tristan to the curb, then Kanye went all full metal jacket and out comes Lolita. I hear Kourtney is giving Khloe advice. Of course she is, she will give her the permission she desires to keep a cheating man around, since she did it for years. This family is wrong on every level.
She’s also 20. Remember how much energy you had when you were that age? Staying up late, not getting enough sleep, yeah it was a drag but that was pretty much it. No big deal, you didn’t feel like death. She has youthful energy and plenty of help, not to mention her large family very close by. That last part also makes a difference.
Wren, I feel you on the She has âyouthful energyâ! I waited until my 30âs to have kids and Iâm like âthis stuff is for 20 year old me!â I use to be able to stay out until 3AM and turn around and be showered and dressed for work in a suit by 8am. Totally feeling fine. Before my coffee days even. LOL I wouldnt changed it though. Having my husband and current life works when you arenât a filthy rich by 17.
That comment bothers me so much in so many levels. Of course motherhood is easy when having tons of money and resources. I hope her teenage followers don’t read this and try to imitate and thinking “if Kyley could, why not me?”
I have a friend who’s 8 months pregnant who’s agonizing over naming her child. She wants something ‘different’ but not weird. But also not a common, overused name. And she knows a bunch of other people that are pregnant with girls at the moment so she’s hoping that they don’t use the names she likes. It’ll be her first child.
I have been SUPER helpful and have suggested some very modern names such as Adelbert, Mehitable, Nesbit (all names that came up while I was looking at some ancestry charts of my family). For some reason she’s not too keen on them.
Ooh, I like Nesbit the best from that list of names. Probably because it’s the only one I’m confident I could pronounce correctly, lol.
When I was three months pregnant with my daughter, I had a dream that I was in Walmart with a little blonde haired girl, she was picking out ninja turtle bed sheets for a big girl bed…she had a chain on her neck that said Sophia. I didn’t even know at that point that she was a girl, but Sophia was the name that stuck and it suits her perfectly. When she was born, she had dark hair, but within a few months was totally blond, and when she was three, she picked out ninja turtle sheets for her bed. Pretty sure I’m a little pyshic lol
I love this story! Your girl was definitely meant to be Sophia! And the sheets….how sweet! Definitely in the stars! I’m naming thinking too, except for my first daughter, choose family names since Scots have beautiful names! Sophia you’re meant for greatness!! *just realized I used an exclamation point in each sentence…..that’s how much I like the Sophia and the turtle story!*
I even agonize about naming animals! Sometimes they tell you their names, sometimes you have to find one on your own. I can’t imagine naming a kid, a being who will actually understand and care about their name in the context of language, culture, and social norms.
@ ERINN My parents used old family names for our middle names. They were slightly unusual but had significance. And I vote for Adelbert!
@KITTY I have psychic dreams too. Crazy!!
@Erinn, try being a teacher and naming your child. Everything they say is true – you stay away from names that belong to your worst students – even if you like them and would want to use them! đ
I love baby names!!!
Might I suggest:
Nova
Wren
Nelly
Alexandria
Tatum
Quinn
Poppy
I just had a baby and donât know anyone with these names. I also know about 100 infants to 4 year olds. LOL So, for my area and friends these felt âfreshâ. Hope this helps! I know everyone has different taste in names.
Oh I love Wren. I couldnât get my husband on board with that one. Or my personal favorite, Ramona.
Sorry, but none of those names comes even close to Nesbit!
@FUNFACTOR: read her original post, please. She said she Suggested Nesbit but her friend does not like it so why would I suggest names close to Nesbit?! LOL
For little girls, I always suggest Jane and Mary – they are common and uncommon at the same time. No one will go, “Hey, how do you spell that? How do you pronounce that?” But there will be almost no other little girls with that name.
youâd think so with mary, but not necessarily. thereâs âmari,â i have even seen it spelled as âmeri.â
my name is taylor and people always ask how to spell it because there are more and more people, mostly younger than me, who spell it âtayler.â it irritates me to be asked how to spell it, just default to the proper way!
Mary. No one uses it any more!
I kinda side-eye the comment about the first weeks of motherhood because it seemed like almost immediately she handed the baby off to a nanny and went about her normal life. But whatever floats her boat and they baby is looked after, I suppose.
Exactly my thoughts!
Yeah, I mean, that comment about wishing the baby was old enough so she could take her everywhere? Most new mums have to take the baby with them everywhere, they donât have a choice.
Stormi,….like the Sh*tstorm of family she is now a member of??????
Interesting how she refers to Travis as “her dad” and not I dunno “my partner” or “my boyfriend” or not “Travis.” They will probably not last but I guess they are just enjoying it for now and seeing where it goes.
I donât understand this breeding with lowlifes trend. First Kourtney, for whom Scott Disick was a sperm producing plant. Then Kylie and then Khloe who I thought was smarter than that. Khloe mustâve been a little bit insane because she was doing drugs. Because nobody in their right mind after finding out their boyfriend is screwing around is going to be talking about or âheâs my baby daddy.â Are you serious? If either had met a homeless guy and really really loved that guy and he treated them like queens and they wanted to have 10 babies I would cheer them on. Whyâs Kylie breeding at such a young age though? This is disgusting.
What exactly qualifies Travis as a âlowlifeâ??
Kourtney went after Scott HARD because at the time HE was the rich, well connected socialite that she was dyinggggg to be. Sure, he has his own problems but it doesn’t make him any less of a low life than Kourtney and the rest of the jackfaced Klan. I don’t see how Scott is a lowlife, even Thompson. Scott has literally done NOTHING to get that name and Thompson was a known cheated that Khloe went after on her own accord so if anyone is the lowlife, it’s Khloe.
Honestly, she sounds fine. This is the least vapid I can ever remember her being in an interview, and she doesn’t sound nearly as……….. lost as she used to. Maybe she’ll be okay. I just know I always felt sorry for her whenever she talked about her life, but this time I don’t. Life sounds like it’s going pretty well for her right now.
I feel like she really doesnât need to leave Stormi. Itâs not like she has to go out to make money. Just chill, have someone make your food, do your hair and makeup, let grandma Cruella De Ville ChrisJenner babysit if needed. Have a rest. Enjoy your baby, youâll never get this time back.
Youâre far more fortunate than any other mum will ever be. You have the finances. You donât have that pressure of where youâre going to scrounge $9.00 worth of petrol from. Far out!!
Yeah this is weird to me… typically the easiest time to take a child everywhere is when they’re a newborn because they sleep all the time and you can just strap them to you and go. Once they start getting more active they become less portable!
Baby Stormi is very cute but in that pic she looks like sheâs thinking âcan I get an exchange for these parents?â Lol
Kylie dear, Stormi is a misspelled adjective. It will also be a tad difficult to avoid smirks when she grows up, if she decides to become a businesswoman, or a judge (“Judge Stormi Jenner presiding…”), or whatever “serious” occupation she may choose.
Eh, whatever.
What do you think are the chances of her becoming a judge? đ
Ah, a fetus picked her own name! I could see it if she was born in a blizzard or something … even blizzard would be much better. Or Rain. If the weather was a factor. Stupid name. Probably still hasn’t realized she’s heard the name Stormy Daniels so often that it permeated into her unconscious.
How did Stormi pick out her own name? She stated her boyfriend wanted Storm, and she didn’t like it and compromised with Stormi, which he liked also.
I strongly dislike Kardashian-Jenners but I must say – white women get much more sh*t for enhancing their bodies. Nicki Minaj was flat as a board on the front and the back before plastic surgery and now she’s praised as “curvy”. (yes, Kylie is also praised, but mostly by clueless teenagers who buy her kits. Usually she’s trashed) Beyonce’s lips were non existent until recently https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/beyonce-knowles-of-the-group-destinys-child-appears-on-the-nbc-today-picture-id677807?s=612×612 (especially the upper one).
I get that most American WASPs might have thin lips, but not all white people are like that. There are black people with small lips (Gabrielle Union, for example) and white people with naturally full lips. It’s not a unique feature of a specific race and people are allowed to enhance (or reduce) whatever the hell they want without being accused of appropriation
Girl, bye. BeyoncĂŠâs lips look like they always have. You posted a link to a pic where she is smiling. And people in the black community have talked about Nicki Minaj and her plastic surgery for years. Stop using lame examples of as a way to excuse the fact that black women are often mocked for their features while white women like Kylie and Kim and lots of others get lauded and celebrated for it. Because that IS what cultural appropriation is.
any person who’s considered unconventionally attractive or different in any way gets mocked. It’s not about big lips or African American features specifically.
Rihanna admitted she was mocked for being too light skinned compared to her classmates (cause her dad is mixed), so what? Kids are assholes and will pick on anyone who’s different. People don’t even mock the feature, they mock how it looks on you. I’ve seen white people with big lips and teeth whose features didn’t “fit” their faces and they were mocked for it. One of my classmates was made fun of endlessly cause she had a slightly big nose. People who were lucky to be born conventionally beautiful don’t get mocked no matter how big their lips are regardless of race. It’s about whether you “pull it off”. Insecure people will find any feature that stands out (boobs too small, boobs too big) and make fun of it.
And honestly, who praises Kylie? clueless teenagers? or people are salty cause she dates black men? it’s not like she’s dating or has dated anyone who’s even remotely intelligent, lol
Another girl bye from me. You are not honestly trying to claim that when it comes to society in the USA viewing your looks harshly, that white chicks have it harder?? That race is irrelevant??
Rihanna didnât grow up in the US, you think racial politics might be a tad different in a country that is over 90% black?
I actually have been noticing that her lips are thinner in some candid photos and videos Kim posted recently. And even one pic she posted now with her baby. I actually believe her. Same way I believe she will probably go back to jacking her face and everything else eventually. Thats the KarJenner formula.
What she said about the first weeks of motherhood convince me she wasn’t very hands on at all. I was also really young when I had my daughter, but I’m not sure I’d describe those first several weeks as “fun.” Of course there were many sweet moments, but fun? Really? I was a sleep-deprived zombie.
That pink hair looks absolutely dreadful.
Too bad that Stormi will be asked if she was named after Stormy the rest of her life.
Theyâll just remind her that she picked out her own name. /s
I know itâs crazy but thereâs something that doesnât ring true about the way she speaks.
I had a kid at 23 and before I fell pregnant I was THE ultimate party girl. Out all night, wearing revealing tight clothing, loved drinking and smoking and then up at 6 am fresh as a daisy ready for work. You just can at that age.
But after my son was born oh my stars. EVERYTHING changed. I could not bear to be away from him. I chose not to return to work because that child was my whole world. I had terrible anxiety being away even for an hour right up until he was at least a year old.
Sooooooo I know all mums are different but… she just doesnât sound bonded with this child. She sounds so disconnected and cavalier, not passionate and overcome with emotion. I dunno – my radar is going off.
Yeah, mums are definitely all different. It takes plenty of parents time to closely bond with their babies. Not everyone has this amazing lightening flash of the worldâs most overwhelming love when the baby pops out. It doesnât mean somethingâs fishy or the parents donât love their child just because they donât refuse to leave them to go to work or whatever. She said she thinks about the baby constantly.
