Kylie Jenner Admits She Was ‘Really Scared’ to Tell Her Parents She Was Pregnant at 19

Kylie Jenner has opened up about her experiences during her first pregnancy, expressing the fears and challenges she faced at such a young age. The co-founder of Kylie Cosmetics welcomed her daughter, Stormi, in 2018, and her son, Aire, in 2022, both of whom she shares with her former partner, Travis Scott.

In a recent episode of the Therapuss podcast hosted by Jake Shane, the 28-year-old reality star candidly discussed her emotions when she discovered she was pregnant at just 19 years old. She revealed that the thought of sharing the news with her parents, Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, filled her with anxiety. “I was 19 when I got pregnant,” she said. “I was freaking out. Yeah, I was freaking out. I was really scared to tell my parents.”

Jenner elaborated on the internal struggle she faced during this period. She explained that while the journey was daunting, she felt an undeniable desire to embrace motherhood. “There was something just inside of me that knew I wanted to do this, and I had to make a decision for myself. What do I really want? What can I handle?” she recalled. This introspection led her to come to terms with the fact that she might have to navigate the journey of motherhood on her own if necessary.

Eventually, she found the courage to share her news with her family. “I told my mom. No one was angry at me. It was a crazy time,” Jenner reflected. The support and understanding from her parents reassured her amid the overwhelming circumstances.

In addition to her initial fears about telling her family, Jenner discussed the decision to keep her pregnancy with Stormi largely secret from the public eye and the media. “I really didn’t leave the house,” she remarked. “At the time, reflecting back to it, I felt like I was protecting myself. And I was in a way.” This choice to remain out of the public’s gaze was a protective measure that allowed her to navigate her pregnancy without the added scrutiny that often accompanies celebrity life.

However, once she eventually revealed the news of her pregnancy, Jenner described the emotional release she experienced. “I sobbed for three hours because it felt like so much weight on my shoulders,” she shared. The revelation of her pregnancy had been a monumental secret to carry, and when it was finally out in the open, the relief was profound.

Jenner voiced her concerns regarding public reactions to her pregnancy announcement, acknowledging the emotional challenges that came with it. “[It was] just a big thing that I was hiding from the world. And I was worried about everyone’s reactions,” she stated. With the magnitude of her celebrity status, it’s understandable that the unknown responses would weigh heavily on her.

As she reflects on her journey thus far, Jenner admitted that she might approach things differently if given another chance. “It was just so emotional. And I’m like, ‘Maybe next time I wouldn’t do that,'” she noted, suggesting a desire for greater openness should she consider future pregnancies.

Through her candid discussions, Jenner has offered insights into the often unspoken struggles faced by young mothers, particularly those in the public eye. Her experiences resonate with many, as she navigates the delicate balance between personal life and public perception. As she continues her journey as a mother, her reflections may provide both reassurance and inspiration to others facing similar challenges.
