Kylie Jenner Discusses Motherhood in Recent Interview: ‘I’m Finally Feeling Like Myself’
Kylie Jenner is ready to reclaim her time.
The prominent makeup entrepreneur and star of “The Kardashians” shared her feelings about being “misunderstood” while emphasizing her passion for the fashion industry in British Vogue’s September issue cover story, following years spent devoted to her family.
“In my early 20s, I was fully in mommy mode, so now I’m doing something for myself after my son was born…,” she explained to the publication. “I’ve become much more engaged in the fashion scene and the excitement of fashion week has been amazing for me. I often think, ‘Why didn’t I start this earlier?’ Each time I visit Paris, incredible things occur. I thrive in that high-energy environment. It feels like an entirely fresh experience.”
She further expressed, “I do feel like I’m often misunderstood,” adding, “Without all this attention on me, I imagine I would be an entirely different person.”
The Kardashian-Jenner family gained fame through their reality show “Keeping Up with The Kardashians,” which debuted in 2007 and showcased their personal and collective journeys toward celebrity. Jenner is the daughter of Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner and family matriarch, Kris Jenner.
Over the past year, the youngest Kardashian-Jenner daughter has been in the spotlight for her more subdued fashion choices compared to her well-known sisters and her past style, now favoring sophisticated designs and stylish designer shoes alongside pieces from her accessible fashion brand, Khy.
“It can be challenging to find a balance when raising kids. I often have to remind my friends without children that I have responsibilities, especially when they suggest early morning plans,” Jenner shared with the outlet. “You have to learn to let go of your selfishness and independence at a young age,” she remarked as the first member of the family to grace the pages of British Vogue.

Having been pregnant with Stormi at just 19, Jenner reflected on how at 27, she is “finally rediscovering myself,” noting that during her pregnancy, she wore sweatpants every day due to time constraints, and that postpartum challenges lasted a year.
Jenner also responded to the speculation regarding her use of the type 2 diabetes medication Ozempic, which celebrities have reportedly used for weight loss.
“I’ve reached the weight I was before both my children, but people are comparing my appearance just three months after giving birth. It’s important to remember that I gained 60 pounds with each pregnancy,” Jenner stated.
